I appreciate that Cryptic has tried to update this one. However it has to be said why is it so long ?
Everyone does the exact same thing... get the first 2 bonuses and then park. Its stupid Cryptic.
Consider making a never ending bonus.... a new level every 7 points. OR cut it to a couple min after the last one. I have better things to do then park and tab out of STO for 6 min every day after completing the bonus. AND you guess can't reward me enough to punish myself with the vault.
Just fix it for real. If you want to time gate it that hard at least give us a reason to be there for the last 3/4 of the timer.

Minimum effort is the montra of the Cryptic devs and the players alike.
If only they would. They could use an individual point system where your points are calculated as a weighted average of your damage and your "objective participation":
damage done*damage weight + objectives completed * objective weight.
That would be nice. I keep freeing ships until the timer runs out since I'm stuck in the TFO either way and pew pew pew in space is fun.
First couple days of the event. Many newish players that have never played that map. Give it a week and see what the afk number looks like. Today the one I did ya everyone basically parked after the second objective was complete. (at least they did help get both bonus objectives done)
I agree as time goes on there might be an increase of AFK peeps in there. I wish we could have been given more choices of missions than just 2.
The vault one was 14 but that was with unplayable lag. Can it be done faster?
"With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably."
We have very different in game experiences then because I have yet to see this.
Maybe it will change later in the event, but so far it has been fine for me.
Long term quirk of the game is that when you spawn there's a mini cutscene of the ship flying in during which time there's no immunity to damage which can leave a player in a stationary ship with no shields and a ton of damage coming their way before the game allows them to react.
This revamp and other recent additions have all had that lack of minimal testing that would have shown the stupidity and poor design of being spawned in the midst of an enemy group.
I'll keep playing because I'm already there and playing seems more fun then parking, but if someone wants to help out until it no longer matters and then go AFK, I couldn't care less.
Thats how I do it, I keep battling targets cause theres always at least 1 who keeps fighting after the objectives are completed.
I am having fun with this one. I am using my Romulan character for this event. No parking for him. He fights up to the last second trying to free his trapped countrymen! Every ship rescued is critical to his people!
I have zero complaints with this one. As TFO's to be repeated go, I like it. So far I have only seen one person parked, and even he participated when a cluster spawned in front of him.
Nope, I disagree with OP entirely. This is one of the good ones. Well done, Cryptic.
Also, if you do it with a Delta recruit the more you kill the more dil you get which is nice (even though it is not a lot).
If I'm soloing an asteroid, I can buff up, wipe the enemies out in 10s, then sit there for 30+s pressing F. By the time I get to the next asteroid my 1 minute CD buffs are ready to go again. That is awful pacing.
Sometimes it helps to hit evasive maneuvers but I'm still working on the timing for that.
So do it with a different toon that has BFAW...
This is my KDF recruit and I'm still earning marks for the reputations. I could switch to beams, but I'm seeing if I can get CSV to work despite the constant webbing.
Understandable
I've been doing it on my Recruit in their CSV/Cannon Vo'devwl. I generally bait out the occasional web with my myriad of summons. Considering I've just been parking and soloing one of the asteroids each time I run the TFO, my Titan console is typically refreshed by the time the next ship/wave spawns. It does a good job of completely shutting them down long enough to clear them out; anything left over gets hit by the Support Carrier console to force them to face away from me(they don't seem to web you if you're not in their forward arc). Confusion, Disable, and even Placate stuff would probably work nicely as well. Photonic Shockwave, the Point Defense console(I think it only has like a 1m cooldown now), or something like Unstable Warp Bubble with the Painful Memories Trait could be some other workable alternatives.
I guess my point is that there should be plenty of 'outside the box' ways to deal with their webs in a Cannon setup.
