I did a mirror today and one person died then stayed dead for whole mission. I know some people don't care about other players. But come on really? It is not like the mission is that hard lol.

Your joking right why would you Bragg about going afk
I'm not bragging. I'm actually complaining. There is no incentive to do this mission properly. The difference in marks between a good run and a bad run is not worth my time.
And as for the event. All I want is the transponder. That first section doesn't even effect me. I can't speed it up and have no interest in it. I am doing this on 7 toons. I've done the mission over eighty times so far. I just can't be bothered.
I pull my weight for the last part, cause that is what I care about. But It's not worth my time to sit through the rest. I can go and make a coffee.
I would normally not do this in any other mission, but this one is so badly planned out that I just don't care.
Btw, putting me on your ignore list will not stop you from being teamed with me. That isn't how the ignore feature works in this game.

So because all YOU want is the Transponder, you're more than happy potentially TRIBBLE over other players that might be playing this event for the marks? You can't get much more selfish than that!
Newsflash, these events aren't meant just for you, they're for everyone. Pull your weight. Your Coffee can wait!
Then I'll just keep an eye out for you.
I'm not alone. I have seen quite a few people doing it too. And at least a few other people admitting to it in the forums.
Actually I wouldn't be screwed. The mission is unfailable. I have solo'd the end after everyone else left during the first section.
If they are playing for the marks then they are doing the wrong mission. There are other much quicker missions that reward much better marks.

Sadly all MMO's have these type of people playing... you know the kind, "if it dosen't benefit ME ME ME I won't help" the only thing you can really do is report them, kick them from the group and try to keep a list of names of these undesirables so you don't have to group with them again.
You're forgetting a few very important facts. If done well, this mission can reward 100+ Marks - and that's any of the Marks, not specific ones. Name me easier missions where you can acquire 100 marks (of each) in what would be 10-15 minutes.
Take into account that this mission also benefits everyone where time is concerned, because by playing it 14x they're getting a nice big bonus afterward. People are more likely to play this whilst the event is on because it firstly gets them their desired marks, whilst also helps to complete a rep project that rewards players for playing the session 14 times over.
This is a thread you may find interesting to read. It's been closed so, you can't comment on it.(name and shame thread)

I can't see any other reason why you'd link me.
Most people have a scratch, heal, or chase the one or two last rifts.
But to afk the whole time through the mission is just TRIBBLE people over because you yourself cannot be bothered to put in the work.
If as you say the mission can be done solo and not failed, and you have done it, then by all means go ahead and solo it. It would save a whole bunch of people from having a potentially crappy run by running with you (aka a man down).
But I think the reason you do not is because you rely on other people working hard to get through the mission to speed up the process.
I have also run this mission soso many times that I am bored to tears with it but that doesn't mean I should TRIBBLE other people over as I CHOSE to run this event and so CHOSE to put in the work for it. I try just as hard as I did the first time, for my team.
I have/ will be keeping an eye out for AFK'ers in this and reporting all that I see, if for nothing other than personal satisfaction.
I hate AFK'ers, of course sometimes things happen in RL which require immediate attention, and I get that, but to openly say that you AFK just because you cant be bothered is just bad form.
"If this will be our end, then I will have them make SUCH an end as to be worthy of rememberance! Out of torpedos you say?! Find me the ferengi!".
It features people talking about why they afk this mission and someone even suggests that everyone should.
Btw I mentioned getting a coffee as a joke. Most times I'm still sitting at the computer. I just set a timer and do other things. If I was drinking coffee everytime I afk'd this mission I would pass out. lol
R.I.P. Leonard Nimoy
You, sir, are the most selfish and self-centred person I have seen on these forums. The only thing you are accomplishing by telling everyone that you are one of those d**k AFKers is having your name on a lot of people's ignore lists.
If you do that, then fine, I doubt anyone will have a problem, but to actively join a session with the intent to do nothing is bad practice. It's a shame people can't genuinely solo STF's. Maybe Cryptic should look into enabling that option so a team of 5 isn't forced.
In the meantime, pull your weight, or stay out of them. It isn't fair on your teammates.
That's the problem it can't be speed up. No matter how well you do the mission last the same amount of time. If my participation COULD speed things up I would, but since it can't, I might as well afk. Participating doesn't help anyone.
I would encourage everyone to afk the first section of this mission. It is has no point.
For the record I honestly don't feel I am hurting anyone by doing this.
R.I.P. Leonard Nimoy
You are hurting the people that are playing to complete the objective. They want to save the station and get more marks. Why are you even playing this game if you don't want to actually play it? All you have to do is run around and kill things.
It's a team mission, haul your lazy TRIBBLE up and be a teammate.
I don't know what ship or gear you use, but what if everyone else was using mediocre stuff - gear and ships that got the job done 5-fold, but struggled 4-fold. That's automatically a reduction in the mark reward for them.
Then a reality check is what you need.
If the mission is changed to make it worth the effort, then I would play it the way it's intended, but till then I'll just keep doing it my way.
Sorry, but that is just how I am going to do this mission. I have no interest in doing otherwise.
R.I.P. Leonard Nimoy
Sorry man but that's bang! out of order and I have never said this on here but I hope someone at Cryptic take your details and do something because it is wrong for you to adopt this attitude. :mad:
With any other mission in the game I would actually agree with you and would report anyone who afk'd, but on this one? I can't. It's just not worth it.:(
R.I.P. Leonard Nimoy
If the mission is not worth doing don't do them lol. But sorry when I acceot a mission I do it the best I can and I have some toons that suck lol but that doesn't stop me from doing them. I have 12 toons to go through it. You say it is not worth it but you do it for rep event? (must be worth it then) lol
Just the last section. If I could skip straight to that section, and just get the transponder but no marks I would, but since I can't this is the next best option.
R.I.P. Leonard Nimoy
LOL it is a pity that you don't understand the part of accepting a mission which is all of it lol.
I understand. I just refuse to take part in a section I neither enjoy or see a need to complete.
I'm sorry if someone feels screwed over because of it, though I doubt most people I've been teamed with have even noticed since I stopped bothering to let them know my plans at the start of the mission. I used to let them know so they could leave and reque if they had a problem with it. I noticed that very few people left but a fair few I had to report for profanity, so I just don't bother anymore.
R.I.P. Leonard Nimoy
I'm sorry but just because you don't like one section of a mission doesn't mean you should just sit there and let the rest of your team try and compensate for the loss of a fifth. That's the highest level of bs I've seen on these forums. You take up the mission, and you do all of it. That's what makes a teammate. How could anyone be so selfish and self-centred to think that they should get the rewards of a mission without doing a certain part of it? Your teammates have to compensate for a ship that could've been doing it's job and killing mobs before they hit the starbase. Your teammates have to pick up your slack for the marks they want. Your teammates don't leave because they get a timer on the mission if they do. Your teammates think you're a d**k, and so does the rest of us.
To quote Kathrine Tate, "Am I boffered though?" :P
Seriously though, the more you guys are getting all "holier then thou" about this, the less sorry I am.
R.I.P. Leonard Nimoy
lets see, excuses...
'lots of players do it toooo' oldest excuse in the book for doing bad/stupid ****
'it's so tedious on 7 characters not my fault cryptic made it that way' i have 10 running it, and the previous 14 item missions i also ran on 10 characters, never afked.
'my time is more valuable than anyone else in the team' if you're playing a game your time isn't anymore valuable compared to anyone else playing the game.
you CHOSE to run the event, you don't have to, no ones forcing you too. just your greed, and selfishness when you blow off the rest of the team. blaming cryptic in this case for your laziness is BS as you do have a CHOICE.
10 times a day and i ALWAYS try for a perfect run on all 10 characters i run through it.
cryptic doesn't need to add an auto respawn, they just need to add another afk conditional, if player hasn't respawned in 30 seconds after delay timer expires they are kicked from match and receive the coveted afk penalty.
