Kobali Prime - Last Stand is lousy storyline mission

The Last Stand is the last mini-mission in the Kobali Prime ground story arc. Many of the missions involve multiple mobs and are challenging, but fun. This mission is challenging and frustrating because it is designed for group play. A player will clear one area and move onto the next only to have a new mob generate at the previous point in a matter of seconds(5-10 sec). The majority of the mission is spent just trying to survive multiple mobs being constantly regenerated all over the map. The mission is fine for the group play, but is a "sucking chest wound" of a mess for a single player with two daff Boffs. An easy solution is to disconnect the storyline mission from the repeating group mission; have the mobs regen less prolific and to stop once the mission objective is achieved by the player. A waste of resources and frustration due to over mobbing is neither fun or creative. :rolleyes:

To be frank I'm getting tired of fighting the same group at the same damn tree, only to be killed, rush back up, and have the guys already respawned and kneeling by that same crate...
You are not the only captain there, when you gert the mission from tghe npc in the advanced camp, don't just rush off like some combat lemming, stop at the cave exit, and check tghe damn map, see if other captains are about, you don't have to team with htem, but the missions are co-op, people can even help clear the objecti ves if they havn't taken tghe mission but are simply in the area.
When I do those last two missions, I'll hang about up there and clear those objectives 3 or 4 times each for additional marks, also, as it happens, helping combat lemmings finish the mission by being there to lend some fire power for all those 'too fast spawning mobs'.

Sci captains have two extremes to choose from:
a) Space Wizard
b) Invulnerability
Since I find dying inconvenient, I choose "b" on my main (though space wizard is soo much fun, which is my choice for my alt).
this... just beef up your boffs and they'll keep the area pinned down while you complete the mission

It also scales based on the number of players in the area. What with the Kobali prime missions now actually rewarding useful things, there might be other players nearby in the previous area, or getting ready to go out (or further away on the map, who really knows how close someone needs to be to 'count'). So you might literally be trying to solo something that is scaling for a group because it's 'seeing' more players around.
Your best bet - since people are repeating the missions daily for rep progression and 'elite marks', is to, if you find yourself rapidly in over your head, just retreat until you're out of combat, and switch zones until you find a zone where there are people at the same point in their progression as you are. You will almost always, with a few zone swaps, be able to either find the mission already in progress and you can just jump right in, or find people standing around waiting for it to start (apparently not everyone actually bothers to get the framework mission that triggers the open world mission to start, so they'll just hang out waiting for someone to come along and trigger it for them).
You can do the framework missions once a day, for marks and cores/apcs, but you can then hang about and join others on an ad hoc basis over and over just for marks alone, and the fun of course...
You often see one or more captains waiting at the exit from the forward base, for somebody with the mission to wonder past, then they tag along, since these captains tend to be the ones who know the area best, and do it most often, you get good company for your run.
