Mine Trap: Has Anyone Pugged This Post DR?

A found Mine Trap to be a fun little mission.
Yet i have not seen more than 2 people queuing up for this thing.
It would not surprise me if nobody has pugged this since DR.
Heck I don't even know what Advanced Mine Trap looks like.
So have you been on a pug of this at all?

Big dig? just find 3-4 people and you're good to go in a private match. Make the private match public and people will join
I means I'v never played Breaking the Planet as it never had more than 2-3 players queued and I think Big Dig and Mine Trap are essentially dead since DR (they were pretty dead to start with).
Either revamp and improve the rewards to draw in players or get rid of them.
One way to do mine trap is to lobby various channels to get 10 people or so and then go pug it on a weekend when lots of people are on. I was able to get the accolade from it this way.
that said, they could make a mine trap lite queue: 5 people, 1 zone, but otherwise the same premise. Since mine trap is 4 teams of 5 where each team does their own thing (if they know what they're doing) then this wouldn't be too hard. Big Dig would have to reduce npc numbers in a less elegant way, but it's still doable. 20 people queueing up for some old content just isn't possible.
I have not even saw the Q active
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
Big Dig i usually start solo. It's easy enough to finish even when playing alone. Check the private matches, i have seen big dig ongoing in there quite frequently.
Mine Trap however i have sadly not been able to do since DR. You need at least 4 capable players because of the 4 zones.
Breaking the planet i semi-pugged (started with 4 man team from fleet, other 16 joined while we were running). The rewards were not amazing though Pre-DR. It may have changed since DR though.
To be fair though I've never done a 'cold pug' of it either where I just queue for it and go--there are never enough people queued for it to pop--it was always a case of a semi-organized cluster of people in chat shouting "hey everbody queue for Mine Trap!" until enough people did, so there was already an element of willful communication to get it organized, even if it wasn't a premade.

Just so you know, we're discussing the queued mission called "Mine Trap" where you have to shoot Salt zombies and save Romulan Civilians.
The Mine trap you're probably thinking about is the mission where you get the horta.
I would do it agian if people were q ing for it. the idea to make it a 5 man might work.

Sadly it failed not long into the game because one of the areas was overrun when people didn't stick to their zones.
Leading up to DR it saw a bit of a come back with the introduction of the rare material drops and it was fun again with it popping lots of times a day.
Then they added the cool down and it pretty much died and went back to it's lucky if it started once a week status.
Shame, this is my favourite mission in the game to date and would love to see it starting more often.
In my opinion, Mine Trap would become more active if it was a 10 player PVE rather than 20 player. May actually reduce the bugs as well idk.
Reduce the number of areas etc. that we have to defend etc. from 4 down to 2 (2 teams of 5 players trying to gain control etc of 2 areas).
Wishful thinking, but I like my idea more than doing away with Mine Trap altogether.
