    Good lord you are flying one of the jellys.

    What inspired you to take that path ?

    It must have been exciting to let 4 complete rows of skills just sit there unsused.

    actually I did use the shield heals quite often. I don't know if there is a build issue or normal play

    When I read this I imagined cheerleaders with pom-poms using this as their cheer.

    As I do all event TFOs solo, I've seen none what so ever. Seriously, the TFOs are so easy to do and not possible to lose if you do mess up, just private queue them if its an issue.

    As for OP, the damage is scaled to weapon power which you have at 50%? Also most of the recent event ships have consoles that boost that mode such as five magics and the other electric boosting ones.

    How the h3ck can you do that?? you make a team and then leave or something?

    PvE Task Force Operations (icon on mini-map) -> Private (tab at top) -> Select TFO you want to run solo -> Start Private Task Force Operation (button at bottom) -> wait a second or two... -> you'll pop into the TFO

    Not all TFOs can be done privately solo, but many can. Event ones have always been able to be done solo as far as I can remember.

    Imagine adding the cardassian consoles to that or some of the pet consoles.
    It is like flying a carrier with an electric dome.

    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.

    That is exactly what a lot of people do, though for some reason a lot of people assume they are sitting afk even when they're launching such obvious things as the Voth Power Core.

    So far the most jellies I have seen at the same time in TFOs has been two, in Defense of Starbase One and Swarm (though one Swarm started with three until one of players changed ships during the briefing).
  • rattler2rattler2 Member, Star Trek Online Moderator Posts: 58,582 Community Moderator
    Yea. They're not as common as they were when they were introduced.

    And you really only see them a lot more when a defense type thing comes up, which is pretty much what the Jellyfish excels at. So naturally... bring out the ship that does a very good job at it. And I agree that Jellyfish players are more active than they appear. Popping buffs and other abilities. And now there are ways to bop around the map in Jellyfish Mode.

    I have not done wolf 359 yet. I imagine sitting on one side keeping all the weapons and tractors offline might be useful

    For Wolf 359 the bubble console is turned off. When the TFO was first released it would work, but a later patch removed the ability to turn it on.

    Pity. I'd love to see someone sitting on top of the cube starting with phase 2, because so often people start just shooting the (invulnerable) cube while Assimilation Probes eat the NPC ships alive, then the Spheres (eventually) start running rampant. I suspect that some of the players actually set themselves to autofire and then walk away from the keyboard.

    I sit there shooting the cube because its the most effective spot to be to for hangar pets and summons to hit the probes and spheres across the entire map.
  • rattler2rattler2 Member, Star Trek Online Moderator Posts: 58,582 Community Moderator
    I think most people actually appreciated a deployed Jellyfish on top of the cube because those probes are fast little suckers. And the Spheres go down pretty fast.

    That's nice. Except either the pets and summons aren't leaving your side (which they generally don't), or they're doing a lot less damage than some folks seem to think. It's just a bit disheartening to find three probes attacking, say, the Chekov, opening fire on them, and realizing I'm the only one doing this as all the other ships are off to another side of the cube shooting pointlessly at its walls while every single NPC ship is assimilated and joins the enemy. Makes the whole thing take forever. I'd much rather see someone parking a jellyfish on top of the cube and unfolding its pink field to help.

    As long as you’re not in intercept mode which usually people do not use. Pets will leave your side and from the top position cover the entire map and hit every single NPC which is why we park there. As for summons they always leave your side no matter what. From that position pets even cover the Chekov and do far more damage than people think more the enough to make that the sensible place to be on top of the Borg cube. I am sure some bad players are parking there but its a valid place to park your ship and helpful when done right.

    Against pet builds like mine I find a jellyfish does less damage and covers a smaller area it would be far less effective. I don't like the jellyfish because bar a few rare exceptions they often make TFO's take longer and its common for them to just sit in a spot doing nothing useful. Not all Jellyfish but a lot are like that.

    Generally an event ship is more common around the time it is introduced. As for two in every TFO... I had zero in my event run today when I did the new TFO. We'll probably see an uptic of Jellyfish whenever we have something that involves defense because its just that good at holding an area.

    I haven't seen more than one jellyfish in any of the event TFOs this year. PUG RNG seems to hate you :)

    Im sorry but i find that very hard to believe. I was tired of seeing three of them in upiter iatus in the past event and previous ones, and i wasnt the ony one... and this time ive seen at least two of em in starbase one almost every one of four or five runs. Oh in wolf 359 i ALWAYS find one as a common rule.. come on.

    In random tfos the same.. i usually see one or two at least one of three or four runs. Yes RNG hates me but i dont think im the only one. But again, tfos are not the only problem..

    The comment about always finding one in wolf 359 cannot be true. Well, there might be a Cnidarian Defender ship. But the Cnidarian Defense console is still disabled for this TFO. Just tried it on private and the console can't be used.
