    The point is that a certain percentage of the mission needs to be failed.

    Strange, isn't it? I don't remember which post it was, but there was a post made by a dev that basically said that there were too many succesfully completed missions.

    This is often because someone has quit and you are taking their place.

    Crystalline has been bugging out sometimes for me where the entity or tholians don't show up and there are no rewards or mission progress. This often happens when joining one in progress with quitters.

    As far as borg disconnected I would say don't bother. They could put 20 minutes on the clock and most pugs wouldn't free a single borg.
    Captain Jean-Luc Picard: "We think we've come so far. Torture of heretics, burning of witches, it's all ancient history. Then - before you can blink an eye - suddenly it threatens to start all over again."

    "With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably."

    I remember that post. Largest load of bull ever. Its because we've been doing these SAME missions for YEARS that they're just so unbelievably easy now with the powercreep combined with the release of new STFs being a slow trickle compared to new ships
