No wonder people don't play klingons

I just spent the last 3 hours trying to defeat one mission, 1 STUPID mission. To complete Way of the Warrior you have to complete several objectives with options. Defeating the transports and the option is an impossible task and cannot complete it because there is no way to beam aboard the cargo while under attack and by the time you defeat the Fed ships attacking you the freighters are warping out, absolutely impossible now I know why there are so many complaints about the Klingon Faction.

    For the record: Those objectives youre having a hard time with are optional.

    The key to accomplishing them: Team up. Also having more abilities at your disposal at higher rank helps alot.

    Way of the Warrior is specificly about completing those "optional" objectives. :p

    As a tac officer I have done this solo. You can cloak, zoom ahead, then knock down the first 3 freighters. Don't try to beam the cargo in yet. Defeat the FED reinfrocements. Then quickly stop the freighters again and then beam the cargo off. If you are fast enough you can get the optional.

    At LG I can do this everytime including the optional. It took practice though to be able do that.

    Yes a true Klingon does not give up. They keep trying until they succeed or until they die.

    a) the freighter mechanics is slightly broken making it very very hard on the bubble mission.
    b) it is just about do-able even though its broken but you need the right ship set up.
    c) the optional objectives are geared towards tactical players/ships - goz said when he makes more they will be geared towards science and then engineer players
    d) it is optional, the main point of the mission is to do the alpha and bravo sorties. path of the warrior is something you dont have to do, just gives you extra xp. its meant to be more challenging though. its designed that way.
    e) if you team up, which was the original point of the path of the warrior its easier to do as you can split up and take care of just one area.
    f) slightly subjective opinion here, but i quite like the fact its hard. you can still complete the normal mission but the challenge of pulling off the attack just right is the most fun part of the mission.

    if your really struggling try different tactics. think about the abilities that might help you here like jam sensors or speed boosts to catch the freighters.

    Correct. Even more crazy is that this and the patrols that this is an optional part of were added to fix the Klingon lack of things to do. What's even more ridiculous is the skill points you actually get for doing them, or should I say lack thereof. So even if you get the optional successfully every time, there are far better things to be doing to level than these quirky patrols.

    However, there are a lot of fans of these. Go figure.

    let me introduce to a friend of mine called tactics, on the one with 5 frieghters in a row run to the lead freighter nuke it to stop launch scorpid fighters, shoot next frieghter till it stops, repeat this with all frieghters, now start killing the guards, when a frieghter comes alive again stop it once more, repeat till guards are dead, loot the frieghters. hardest one done OR do it as a team and have one person doing the frieghters and one person doing the guards.

    so now you have met my friend tactics become his best friend.

    Those missions are one of the best things about the KDF.

    I got a way that's waaay easier. Scramble & jam sensors are your friends. stop a freighter, use jam or scramble sensors on the fed warship ( make sure you stop shooting at it) beam in teh lootz. Rinse & repeat.
    I don't even bother killing the warships, i get the loot & then i scoot.

    ow ye just remebered, be careful with scorpid fighters on these q's, cos if they kill a frieghter as you have no real control over them, you fail even if you havnt failed.

    So since he fails one mission it is apparently representative of the entire faction? Wow.

    The KDF Sorties and Way of The Warrior are some of the best patrol missions in the game and a plus to the KDF Faction. Gozer did a great job with these and they are especially nice if one wishes to craft on their klingon.

    The OP's problem stems from a couple issues which are "tribal knowledge" and problematic if you're not in the know:
    1. The optional objectives were designed to be completed by tactical ships. Use of a BoP or Raptor is easiest.
    2. Cloak & Get ahead of the freighters. Head toward a beacon then decloak 10-15m from closest freighter. Let the freighters come to you!
    3. The optional objectives are harder to obtain solo on low level characters. They get easier as you gain speed & firepower.

    I had trouble with these myself on a low level tac. It took the above hints from another player and some practice before I could solo them successfully.
