    What mission?

    Quite literally the "Diplomatic <Something>" one at the begin.

    I fly into P'Jem, kill one of the groups and the 2nd one is literally an Escort and 3 BoP. I walk in, get 1 volley off and all 4 ships send 1-2 photon torpedos EACH at me murdering one side of my sheilding, so I turn to compensate, and they send another volley taking out another side.

    My only luck was zerging and blowing all cooldowns on 1 BoP and hoping I Jihad killed it. Then respawn and try and take out another one. Rinse and repeat. 4 on 1 is complete BS.

    Then once I got 2 down the game AUTO WARPED ME OUT OF THE ZONE TO JOIN ME TO A TEAM, even though I had change the team settings to specifically NOT do that. And with a group 4 turned to 6-7 and they were to much for both of us to handle.

    I zoned out to do something else but I was promptly DC'd and now I'm being told the game is "Full" again.

    Sigh. I did this patrol 3 days ago no problem.

    For the tiny patch or the 10GB game file? It took me like 4.5-5 hours to get the main game... which is why I am amazed that this 172MB patch is dragging its ass on the floor.

    I am giving up for the evening. My guy is stuck in a patrol set for 5 people by himself, facing several groups of 2-3 battleships.

    Hope they fix shit by tomorrow.

    I seem to have found myself in a strange space filled with giants. The ship is stuck and cannot move. I fear we may be lost here forever, as the giants seem not to react to us.

    It would be hilarious if you could fire your phasers and photon torpedoes at the random passerby

    Also I'm at 62% on the main game.

    Yeah, I had it happen earlier with me in space as a guy, but it fixed before I thought the screencap it. This one happened right before I was dropped from the server, so I thought I'd make a silly post about it.

    I did. Trust me I've done all I can. Honestly with all the weirdo grouping BS going around, I mightve been in a team game but not able to see people, because like you said, you did it earlier no problem. And so did I on Sunday in closed beta without a problem.

    Oh well, it'll get better.

    So, anyone have any idea how to fix my graphics card problem? The games pegging my card at 100% activity starting at the menus... Its getting pretty hot a result, kinda seems like it shouldnt be doing that, no other game does. I tried changing the vsync to be on (recommended on the official forums) but that didnt work. Its an ATI 4670.

    Then once they do that, they can fix the explorer missions so that:

    1. Enough mob groups spawn in a map, so we dont waste our time killing 4/5 and realizing we just wasted 15 minutes
    2. Allow us to BRING RATIONS BACK to planets after we learn what they want.
    3. Make the "scan 5 <whatnots>" mission actually have 5 <whatnots>. This is the same problem as #1

    Honestly, either allow us to use our tricorders to find out where all the things needing to be scanned are or make the "Shiney effect" permanant.

    Wow. So the servers just went down for maintenance. I played for about an hour and a half and here is my conclusion:

    Oh my god this game is awesome. I spent half an hour customizing my character, and I spent an hour running around in the game rescuing people and ships and beating the Borg into a bloody pulp.

    I can't wait to jump back in.

    ++

    Servers should be back online at 10:00 pm central or so.

    once you've joined you've actually joined forever which is pretty awesome, it carries over to all cryptics games as well so if you were to log into Champions Online you'd already be in the PA channel as well

    The biggest "ugh" I have is, the performance while on the ground. It feels "clunky." I need to roll back my nVidia drivers first before being too upset about it though.
