OMG. I had to quit the mission before I threw my controller through my TV. This mission seems intentionally frustrating. Not hard, frustrating. I will not be playing this on my alts. I may not even on my main. I hate ground missions and won't do ground tfos. This is so much worse.
Honestly if you don't like doing any ground missions and it is ruining the experience for you I suggest either not doing story missions, as most of them have ground components, or finding another game. Clearly half of what this game has to offer is not your cup of tea.
For me personally I enjoyed those missions and, like garaks31, I'm curious which part(s) frustrated you.
Ground missions are not fun on console. For me at least. In the last 2 years I've played I've bought over 50 ships. Are you suggesting I should stop supporting this game?

Again, please tell us exactly why ground missions arent fun? Is it the controllers dont work well with the ground missions. Is it your inability to tab or target a mob easier compared to PC? Is it lack of buttons you can press to activate your abilities or slotted equipment?

I was not suggesting anything other than
A: Don't play ground missions if you hate them
or
B: Find another game you more enjoy
The reason some of us are interested in what bothers you about the ground game is so that perhaps someone with experience playing on console could potentially offer some tips or advice to help alleviate whatever stressful mechanic you are experiencing.
In any event, I wish you well on whatever you choose to do.
The mission is fine, and we can help you get through it if that's what you want. If not, then there is really no need to discuss it, you're not opening a dialogue, suggesting any type of improvement or doing anything other then crying over a mission you don't like... for some reason.
Console port has a long running issue of badly implemented controls (jump and interact being the same button as a prime example of stupid design) and UI layout.
Some ground missions are just a case of wander about and let abilities autofire (mayeb as some are simply not given that functionality for no good reason) because trying to fire a weapon only hits your own team or friendlies due to the OVERSIZED reticle.
Aiming doesn't work either because you will find yourself targetting random TRIBBLE like teammates turrets or npc's that are 100m or more away and out of line of sight, this will also send your boffs running to that distant foe because why not.
One of the more painful missions is with martok invading the 'kethi station because he insists on twerking his way around in front of you all the time.
This patch came out at just shy of 12gigs and as there's no event running at the moment I took this as a good time for a break away from the clunk.
Actually, I haven't been able to run either of the 'Rise of Discovery' Missions yet. Too busy doing Endeavors, Featured TFOs, Defense of SB1, reloading Admiralty and Doff Assignments, claiming and reloading 13 Reputation Dailies, Path to 2409, Vulcan/Andorian/Tellerite Recruitment Assignments, Personnel Officer Recruitment Assignments, Fleet Mine and Research Lab Doff Assignments, R&D Leveling, etc.

As everyone else has said, tell us what the problem is and maybe we can help. If you are just here to rant, rave, and basically claim entitlement because of your claim of having "bought 50 ships"... no one will want to help you.
So please... just tell us what the problem is calmly. Perhaps one of us has an answer, but we won't give you an answer if you don't tell us what the problem is.

If you just want to complain.. no one cares.
