Undine Assault space STF is ridiculous and pointless!

Takes 30-40 minutes long to do, the "boss" for it has 2,800,000 HP. Before that, there are 6 rifts to close and they are dependent on the Command Ship scanning them and telling you to blow it up, the Command Ship is easily destroyed if your team is weak or has bad luck. Then you'd have to wait for a minute for it to respawn.
This whole STF takes about 30-40 minutes to do even with a decent DPS team.
The rewards for all of this work? 40-45 Undine marks, 240 dil ore, 1 Isomorphic Injection.
On the plus side, it does get you tons of junk to sell for EC.
On the flip side, you net more Undine marks and Dil ore doing the Space Battlezone - in less time!! You can earn 200-300 Undine Marks in the Space Battlezone in an hour, maybe less, about 3k dil ore in an hour, also in maybe less time too.
Cryptic!! Boost rewards in Undine Assault or make it easier!! At its present state, it's pointless to do and it's just a exercise in frustration especially if you have impatient team members.

It's not pointless but i'll do VCE or (ideally) UIE instead because both are substantially more worth the effort.
I've found somewhere else to grind. IE the ground queued mission and the battlezone. Quicker, a lot more fun (or not for the battlezone), and more reward.
It goes with the trend of annoyance that started withTholians. Weapon offline was what passed for annoying back then, but seems like so little nowadays, after Voth, and now Undine. Instead of coming up with good gameplay mechanics, Cryptic just piles on the annoyances.;)
Every new NPC seems to contain at least one of the following, many times 2.
1) Sub Nuke
2) Viral Matrix (or other subsystem disable)
3) Snares (GW, shockwave, movement debuff basically)
4) Space Spam (GW, Space Snot, TR, etc)
5) Can't Hurt Me (Sensor Jam, voth cloaky thing, voth immune shield, voth aceton thingie)
It is getting old.
Kind of why they wanted player's to due the voth BZ, instead of mission ques.
Same reason they prefer you to wander around new Romulus, as opposed to doing mission ques as well.
Seeing how there isn't really anything offered in this fashion for OM's, other than defera the borg STF's offer good OM's.
Praetor of the -RTS- Romulan Tal Shiar fleet!
Make sure to report the other players for feeding
Foundry Mission Database
Check out my Foundry missions:
Standalone - The Great Escape - The Galaxy's Fair - Purity I: Of Denial - Return to Oblivion
Untitled Series - Duritanium Man - The Improbable Bulk - Commander Rihan
Cryptic should do this content themselves with the dev team and adjust the rewards accordingly
30 to 40 minutes is about right
Rewards should be 300 marks /3500 dilithium.3 injectors
Saphire.. Science ground......Ko'el Romulan space Tac
Leva........Tactical ground.....Koj Romulan space Eng
JJ-Verse will never be Canon or considered Lore...It will always be JJ-Verse
Long story short, hit points need to be adjusted, because most of the time spent in this STF is, in my experience, spent trying to pop the Planet Killer itself. Even on Normal difficulty, its HP are ridiculous.
