Tholian Tarantula - Help

[Blind Man]

So, i'm a level 20 science officer. I cannot beat this stupid tarantula. I've been sitting here minimized and it's still fighting the ship. It's at 0% HP and it's shields keep regenerating fast ! I'm using the Enterprise C ship and i can't down this stupid thing. Any advice?

@n3mes1s, "Temporal Ambassador." There's a Tarantula on the map but the Pastak annhilates it in a cutscene. This cutscene is currently not really working, hence the OP has to worry about the Tarantula as well as the other Tholian ships.

Yeah it was a bad bug in the game. I had to exit fully and restart it. Luckily I managed to beat it. This game is badly bugged. I never seen a bug that bad in a game. I don't know why Cryptic won't fix them. They're hurting themselves if they don't do this and they'll eventually have to shut down the game if it gets any worse.

The only thing in the game that actually works as intended without any glitches is the shop. Make of that what you will.

That's pretty shallow of them really. Blizzard Entertainment has bugs and glitches in WoW and they get billions of dollars from customers who play the game and they fix it ! Cryptic won't last much longer if they don't attend to the matter of the game.

Not even Bethesda (God Bless America #BethesdaRocks) hames have as many glitches on their first day of release as STO

so many useless spam comments and offtopic here but nobody helps...
open chat and type in "/killme" without brackets. So you can leave the mission and send a bug report

I can't believe this is still the issue - but here I am, experiencing this in 2021.

With this particular bug, you have to let the cutscene in which the timeship arrives play out. That's all. Most cutscenes in the game can be skipped (to the point where most of us do it automatically now), but not this one. If the cutscene destruction of the Tarantula doesn't happen, then the ship is still there, invincible and preventing resolution of the map.

What am i supposed to do if the cutscene just isnt playing out how it should be? Reset the mission twice and it was exactly the same every time, i dont have the energy to turn the game back on but i have a feeling it wont work even if i turn the game back on rn, thats kinda the games whole thing isnt it, (perfect world ent idk how youre still operational if you can even be called that.)

If you are in any instance mission and think you have a Bug stopping you from completing that mission, try the following tips:

1. Read the mission details and the tasker for directions and important information that you might be missing. Check the STO forum and wiki and google for a walkthrough of that mission to determine if you are not doing the mission correctly. Check the bug forum and google for a workaround or if it is known bug.
2. Beam out of mission, then continue the mission at the place you come back to.
3. Beam out of mission, Drop that mission, pick that mission and try again.
4. Beam out of the mission, log off of STO then log back into STO, then continue that mission.
5. Exit game after beaming/warping out then exit game, change the options to Patch on demand, and then hit Verify game files. Once finished, log back in, and run the mission again.
6. Try rebooting computer and router at this point. Many problems like this with the game stem from poor or faulty Network connection between your computer and the game servers. Check and troubleshoot your network connection to the game servers.
7. Report the problem in a bug report. Beam out of mission, Skip that mission if it is in a chain. Try that mission again in a month or two. Report the problem in a bug report again.
