I'm running different avatars through MI. Today I got b*tched at twice, first because somone says "don't close any rifts"
umm the point IS to close the rifts....
Second was flying a dauntless. there are 2 escorts and 2 cruisers.. fine I'll fly behind let them engage the ships and close the rifts. so I get a "Hey, stop stealing my rifts" comment.
ya just gotta laugh sometimes...

well, I have zero intention of donating 8K dilithium and 400EC per day for the "privilege" of being in a fleet, so it's pug or nothing
join my fleet... you no need to "donate" 8K dilithium and 400EC a day to join us..
you can join and have fun!!!
Wow some fleet..
Real join date September 2012
I haven't had that happen yet but people always try to race me to the rifts and even will come up and try to close the rift I'm on when I'm halfway through closing it. People are pretty dumb and petty sometimes.
My current strategy now is find a Sci ship buddy and literally follow them everywhere, helping them clear the mobs with my cruisers/destroyers. It works pretty well actually.
Today, for example, I followed a Sci destroyer that didn't seem to understand that I could get the power transfers while he did the rifts. Fortunately, he listened to my request that we tackle them that way over the mic.
On my bad days, I've had had really annoying team-mates that refuse to team up and just get carried away fighting endless mobs that keep on growing larger and larger. I've also had an occasional afker that does absolutely nothing. It's just the luck of the pug draw I guess or possibly Cryptic's poor afk punishment system.
I concur that both of them were in the wrong.
STB teams stopped closing rifts on Normal a while ago. You just don't really have to if you kill them fast enough, and fighting the huge groups that can pile up is pretty fun.
If that is the fleet you joined, if that is its policy...... man, some fleets just don't understand the bottom line of fleets.
A group of players in a game. Not a secondary job, not the leaders being more important. A group of gamers. Thats it.
Seriously, there are many fleets out there that are low-to-none pressure with very great people in them. Not only speaking of my own, but about the countless others. People I have never met, but should meet someday.
Keep trying to find the fleet that fits your needs. If you misjoin one, the leave button is very easy to find.
As for your opening post..... *chuckles*

Look for one of us in-game.
My guess is some people are using these as Specialization point grinding and closing rifts could reduce the opportunity to do this.
Another one was an all Science Captain affair. No-one had enough DPS to take anything down so within about 3 mins the base was destroyed, kinda funny but I think it was about a total of 3-5 rifts closed before the timer ran out XD
"You don't have to do something again and again and again repetitive that doesn't have much challange, that's just a general good gameplay thing."
As much as it is nice to be on a great team that seals them all and beats the tar out of the first few ships. Cryptic has it set so that if you do really well at some point you are going to sit there for 4-5 min with nothing to do. That could be why some may say don't seal them. Only teams with no DPS at all should have much issue with just leaving most of them open.

Same here. The Marked Legion is always looking for new recruits to join up.
Omg roflwtfmessagetooshort.
A good escort can do all three. Any good player can do all three, there are no rules for who does what.
I've had more than a few runs where if I'm not activating power stations in my escort no power stations get activated. Same goes for me closing rifts.
you have to donate 8k dil and 400EC? DUDE! Join another fleet. Join my fleet. Join ANYONE'S FLEET. Donation requirements are stupid.

If the Dreadnought would just spawn after X rifts are closed a lot more players would actually play the mission as intended.
As it stands it is just more effective to use those 15 minutes you're forced to stay there to grind XP, which means leaving the rifts open. Losing a tiny amount of Marks doesn't matter much as you can get them elsewhere with much less effort. And the Daily Bonus Marks aren't linked to mission score...
You would be in a league of fine gentlemen and gentlewomen.
By which I mean that happens to me, too.
Which fleet is that?

you can always join our fleet, you can donate as much or as little as you like even if its only fleet marks although anything you do want to give is very appreciated, but you will never be kicked from the fleet for not donating enough as long as you are active in the game (i.e. log in once a month or two & log out), and if we ever do crop inactive members they will always be welcome to join again if they start playing again a year or two later.
there is no pressure to join in fleet teams but you can always join in one if you want if you see another member asking if anyone wants to join a team.
we have a fed fleet 'the britannian empire' and a Klingon fleet 'the_black_knights' so if you want to join a fleet without being preasured into giving vast amounts look us up.
When I think about everything we've been through together,
maybe it's not the destination that matters, maybe it's the journey,
and if that journey takes a little longer,
so we can do something we all believe in,
I can't think of any place I'd rather be or any people I'd rather be with.

if your looking for something to shake your head out is when pug groups dont bother looking at what they are doing first. :P
