Gamma quadrant queues. Anyone else experiencing difficulties getting them to pop?

See title.
Trying to get them going for the universal endeavor, but so far to no avail.

This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

Doesn't matter what time of day, or day of the week either. Crystalline Catastrophe ain't gonna show up!
> Couldn't tell you about this queue, but have you tried getting into the Crystalline Catastrophe lately? You will add layers of dust on your body during however long your normal sleep cycle is waiting for that one to pop!

Oh I actually got one to start to test the absurd burst power of my t6x epg sci ship.
But yea you are right. Finding 9 other peeps in game lining up for it is a rare occurrence these days.
Curious if in a year from now the same will happen to 5 man maps even under full support of the rtfo mechanic.
Hard to believe that there was actually a time where the queue window showed me 800 players currently playing Crystalline. 😑

Surprised more don't queue, it's like the easiest farming mission for alts to do, takes 2 minutes, rewards 720 dil, daily marks with bonus then converted is another 1000 dil, 1720 dil for 2 mins work across each alt.
It's either not as bad as they're saying here or I just got really lucky this morning. I queued for CCA at about 6:46 AM Eastern this morning, a time when a good portion of people east of New Zealand all the way to Afghanistan or so are otherwise occupied with sleep, school or work, and it took about 4 minutes for it to pop. It's not like a few years ago, where it would reliably pop within a minute, but it's certainly not some overly-long wait like it's been painted by people in here.
For reference, DPS Silver had about 170 people on at this time, around half of the 300 or so that I noted at around 1 PM Eastern time, showing how low the overall server population was at the time.
I had thought that Cryptic addressed this in a patch from a year or more ago, to balance out the randomized nature of queues, but frankly if that was the case then something broke in that mechanic shortly afterwards and has gone the way of the dodo? Sort of like the little symbols that they put up to identify event created characters on the log in screen, for well over a year only my Delta Recruit has retained her symbol, the rest have been absent?
It would make a difference, the PC using population is higher than console from what I hear.
