I fight my way to the vaad commander in his tank in the last stand, almost have the guy killed and I get a server disconnect. So where do the put me when I come back, right at the beginning.
I spent hours death after death getting as far as I did, all for fraking nothing, way to TRIBBLE on me, come on, no way that is fair.

    I had this happen twice on two different toons.

    Just as it got to the final show down it tried to do a cut scene and it promptly crashed with a graphic error (which only STO seems to have on my pc).

    It dropped me back at the start in the first instance and in the second crash put me back in the arena waiting for wave 4, which didn't arrive and so wouldn't complete.

    So frustrating and puts me off progressing any other toons through the storyline.

    I have a bad internet connection and I experience a lot of server disconnects. As long as you don't close the game client and login quickly back in the game's login screen (not through Arc), you stand a good chance to reload right where you left off. Your buffs/debuffs and other stuff you've casted may be gone, but your HP levels and the mob's HP levels remain the same.

    I've had this happen on STFs too and I always end up loading right back up where I left off (with a bit more damage on my ship) as long as I reconnect within 1 minute or so.

    I got a disconnect due to an internet network glitch while in an pve qued mission and thought I was lucky to get back in just in time to receive the mission prize but when I tried to que for another mission found I had incurred an AFK penalty of a 2 hours ban.

    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.

    Solution: Skip the mission. It does nothing. It's worth almost nothing. It's terribly horrifically balanced. The AI NPCs cheat and the entire staging and map design/layout is asinine.

    Just... skip it. Go back to space and resume there. No reason to beat yourself up over bad content.
