No plan STF's

What is with this rash of starting up a Elite STF and not even making a plan?
Was just in a CSE where one guy goes RML, And doesn't even mention who is on Kang. Low and behold I look not a soul is on Kang. I'm in a vesta there is only so much I can do. The night before I enter a KASE not a word of a plan I go to cover the right probes and no one even covers left probes.
I mean this is in the Elite STF channel what is this lame TRIBBLE. It's not hard people and it takes less than a min to make a plan.
I'm am going to screenshot everything from here on out. You don't make a plan I'm going to start reporting this TRIBBLE.

Worse come to worse, you can just put those people on ignore and not see there invites in the channel.
And what good exactly does reporting do for this situation? Nobody's breaking any rules. A lack of team cohesion doesn't necessitate reporting to GM's that the mission is failing.
Just get a new/better team or fly with fleetmates.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Do you even Science Bro?
I tend to agree on this...
It's not like there are alot of options on how to do these missions anyways (Cryptic is not good at thinking about multiple slolutions).
At this point, almost every active player knows how to do these missions, and even IF there are one or two who don't, the rest usually have the firepower and expirience to keep the map going.
Sounds like someone is upset he got stuck on kang duty. :-P
OP, by now most of us have done hundreds if not THOUSANDS of ESTFs. Believe me, if even half the players are on the ball and can keep aware of their surroundings (ie. help HEAL the Kang when it takes damage) there is little to worry about. Of course, sometimes you get teams with cruisers that run away from spheres, escorts that can't take down a single probe before it reaches the time gate, and sci vessels that use Grav wells/repulsors to PUSH ALONG enemy NPCs and help them get to where they want to get to faster.
Too many players like that in a group and no amount of planning will suffice. Luckily many of them grow as players and improve. One can hardly blame them though, its not like the game actually teaches you anything about how to fly a ship!
Why wernt YOU on kang ?
Why didnt YOU make a plan ?

This.
It is much more efficient to just blast probes and take out the spawns as they, you know, spawn. A half decent player should be able to. If you can't kill the spawns before they reach the Kang, with time to spare in between, you need to reconsider your build. If you're sitting idle in that spare time, that's a bit of a waste, really, might as well shoot probes.
If you have 3 people doing this, that's enough to roll through CSE, no problems. That's room for 2 people without a clue.
true until some dumbass or troll blowes the cube early. all the dps in the game wont help when the moron warps out and the 3 remaining people are nowhere near kang to help the solo defender as he gets drowned in raptors
The elite stfs are a joke in themselves. But I agree with everyone else. Who cares? You go through so much effort for so little, why not just do the normal ones? Or do what I do, and stop setting up for fleet combat and max out your own potential. TRIBBLE the rest of em.
Never expect anything from pugs then you can always be surprised when they actually do well.
And ended like this:
The part in the middle was real fun.
1 - Getting optional in ESTF pugs is relatively easy, provided players work as a team on well documented "default" plans, and react as opportunities present themselves.
2 - Grinding STF's for Dil & Omega Marks is definitely all about " more & faster "
3 - Most pugs are successful at optional, I'd estimate 90% minimum.
4 - The only reason NOT to care about Optional, ( 25% Omega Bonus ) is if a player doesn't do enough ESTF's to have it make a difference.
As for the private STF rooms from one of the channels, I DO expect the match originator to dispel any vagueness, and help set the roles for a better result.
If anything is annoying in ESTFs it is those who think they are being so helpful while 'defending' be it kang or probes or what have you and not contributing to the completion of the STF at the same time.
Kill bops as they spawn. If you cannot kill 3 raptors solo before they get to Kang you loose any right to complain about baddies or noobs. After you kill the two probes spawn a cube and kill it too, their is plenty of time.
Or realize you are not the greatest player of all time, accept the fact it is a PuG, and have fun shooting the baddies. Because to someone else you are as bad as those baddies you are complaining about.
signed, basically you know a player is an idiot or a noob when he parks his cruiser or carrier above the kang and thinks he contributes...he does not!
