Vicious Cycle level design

I find it kind of tiresome to play this map on a tac escort with dhc's.

It seems that the kill objectives can only be hit from an angle above the target, an angle that is acually steeper then the game's engine allows you to manouver, and in the event I can finally find that slim spot my dhc's will acually contribute to the damage, the whole map rocks back and forth so I can only stay in the arc for a moment, to say nothing about reducing my defense to zero whilst I park for the damage.

Consequently, the map is fine on any ship I have that uses beams, or any weapon that does not have a 45 degree arc.

Additionally, getting one/two shotted by the planet killer is tiresome.

    - Finally, the name of the event = 'Vicious Cycle'. whos idea was it to name this qued event after a trope. It is hard enough to search for information on STO in general without having to sift through all the garbage containing the trope/cliche 'vicious cycle' among threads and discussions that have nothing to do with the Vicious Cycle Event.

    It's called "Viscous Cycle". It's a pun.

    It's not that much easier in beam boats, you either have to park directly above it, and get blasted to bits by the other Undine, or try and orbit but end up being ensared by rifts or getting stuck in the actual map scenery itself!


    I disagree with the planetkiller thing - It's main job is blowing up planets yet it can't take out a starship in one shot? wut

    The only Undine STF I do now is the ground. That can be done in a matter of minutes.

    I refuse to deal with that glob TRIBBLE everywhere.

    *edit*

    Just did it in 10 minutes

    The worst is when you draw the 'maw weak points' instead of the commando teams, especially on the third PK.
