I'm curious... Has anyone ever actually seen this mission succeed? I've done it many times now, and it NEVER succeeds. I fly back and forth as fast as I can, dropping warp cores, but they don't ever seem to do any damage. It's not any help that the other members of the team rarely do this, and instead spend all their time shooting the enemy ships (of which there are altogether too many, making it nearly impossible to even REACH the Doomsday Machine).
Anyway, I'm just curious to know if anyone has succeeded at this, and how they managed it.

Once, I was simply called Mojo. Now, I'm forced into a new name, but don't be fooled, I'm the original STO Mojo!
This game needs detailed crafting, exploration and interaction systems.

Typically have one or two (usual the bigger and lower ships) to defend the station and then have the remaining three shove warp cores down the doomsday machines Throat. These Cores do not do damage but slow the doomsday machine down, there are bonuses for the doomsday machine only getting so far.
Once the dreadnought core is ready hope a fast ship gets it and flies it to the Doomsday machine with the others healing them if needed due to the cores DoT.
Personally I am quite fond of this mission and it can be completed with full randoms they just need to have some idea of what they need to do.
The Number of enemy ships is about right as it can take a fair bit to defend the station from the wave attacks while there is enough at the core end to be a tad annoying giving the option to try and take some out to help your allies.
if I stop posting it doesn't make you right it. just means I don't have enough rum to continue interacting with you.
I rarely see it fail. Often when you get a novice team some of them pick up the tricks when they see an example.
Frankly if any STF should be taken down for refurbishing its this one. It needs a lot of work.
Well then you're lucky...did it several times last week to farm some temporal marks and had multiple failures. Half the successes involved me carrying the dreadnought core, like people don't understand you need to use your speed boosts
I've also found it helpful that, if someone has a tank build with decently high Hull Regen, then that person can also make a great dread-core runner; maybe not as fast as an escort, but they don't take nearly as much damage from the DOT.
It's one of those things that has me realizing that my BOFFs should be trained in way more skills than I usually use, just so I can swap some out on the fly when I get out of combat.
I definitely agree that the IMMUNE text needs to be more prominent. I vote for a 10x size increase over damage numbers. Maybe then people will realize not to shoot the thing. Would go quite a ways towards Planet Killers, Voth cruisers, and I'm sure more that I'm not thinking of.
If that doesn't work, maybe reflect their damage right back at them like the Voth invulnerability shield.

Big ships have a big advantage with their natural hull regen of course, but even they can get there nearly as quick, even quicker since you can probably slot EPTE without losing a heal.
