Downfall mission

[CommanderHorhay]

so im doing this mission with the fed ship i got weapons level 1 a dual beam and torpedo. everything with level 2 equipment are installed on the ship. i can do the stand or fall and attack any ship and kill them no problem but once that lukara shows up the game gets crazy. me and the 2 other ships are fighting it no problem it send a wave of raider i take them out we all pew pew pew the lukara but then they leave to take care of the fleet that show up leaving me alone to fight the wave after wave of raider are attacking me the other 2 fed ship and stuck on the station going up and down stuck on the side of it i back off to get my ship back up to 100 but going after the lukara massive waves of raiders are sent at me i take them out then more comes no way of getting to the cut seen. i seen this mission on you tube but the the lukara is way op now since the 2018 video was made. im level 7 and the video was with a level 4. this is supposed to be a tutorial mission but its bugged like a end game mission with no end anyone else have this bug?

You can zerg it. When you are told to attack the Lukara ship, just do your best with what you have.

[CommanderHorhay]

nothing i do will get to the end cut seen

[Wisecasper]

The difficulty scales with you. If your character is under level 10 then level 1/2 equipment should be fine. If your captain is level 60 then those weapons aren't going to scratch the enemy ship.

[Running-Target]

The Lukara has Plot armor, you just have to get it down slightly to trigger the cutsceen, or it depends on time you take to attack it. You are not allowed to destroy that ship.

You can pass gear from other characters to your captain in Discovery land by the Shuttle Shared account Bank, make some mk 2 Very Rare ship gear, drop it into the shared bank, and improve your firepower.

You can improve your firepower by Increasing your energy levels to the Weapons.

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.

I just tried this with a level 7 federation new character and as soon as it starts spawning waves I died. I can't get past this at all. I'm not even doing to put a dent on the shields The lukara waves just destroy me

[CommanderHorhay]

i had no luck with this and just gave up the lukara is way to op. the shields never go down solo when the other ships leave to assist the station plus they get bug staying on the side of the station also the wave of raiders it send is to much i wrote a ticket but nothing was said or done about it.

[Riptide]

I am also having problems with the mission and i cant find any others to make progress and i am stuck at level 7

[Running-Target]

I tried it with lvl 7 engineer, with the gear you get from leveling in the discovery zone, i had similiar results, i could not make a dent in the Lukara. Yes, they made some changes to the mission, seems like added a Fleet of D'ghor ships that attack the starbase and draw your 2 allies away.

When i gave myself all VR MK 2 ship gear and changed my ship to the T6 Edison Temporal warship, i had no problem, was able to take the Lukara down to zero. Had dual hvy cannons, dual cannons, photon torp, turret, turret, with pre-fire and phaser relay.

I replayed it with my lvl 13 character and it was a little more challenging than some of the others, but did not present a problem. If you are still struggling contact me in game @wisecasper and I can mail you some MK II Very Rare items for free. They only take 5 mins each to R&D at that level. If you still have trouble I don't mind co-opping to get you through it.

The Discovery Starter zone does Not have Mail or Bank, the OP and others new player that recently started a Discovery era character are the ones that are affected here. They cannot leave the Discovery starter zone without beating Downfall. If you are affected by this, Please file a Bug Report in-game, the devs need to know that you cannot continue. The devs have recently change this mission to be more difficult for some stupid reason. Most New players Don't have Shared Account Bank or better ships that are able to be used Inside the Discovery Starter zone.

On my lvl 8 Engineer captain with some Endeavors buffs. With a change of gear to common Phaser Dual Heavy Cannon mk 1 and Phaser Turret mk 1 in the back, using the stock ship and gear from the previous rewards, i was able to barely beat the Lukara just after the allies left my side. With Phaser Dual cannon mk 1 and Phaser Turret mk 1 in the back, from the equipment vendor on earth, using the stock ship and gear from the previous reward, i was able to barely beat the Lukara just after the allies left my side. With a change of weapons to uncommon Phaser Beam Array Mk 2 (DMG) (from the Downfall Replays) in front and back and at lvl 9, i was able to barely beat the Lukara, before i might have died, that was many tense minutes after the 2 allies left.

You have to learn to use what you have been given to you: You have to configure your power to max Weapons, 50 to shields, 25 to Engines, 15 to Aux. Take auto-fire off the torpedo and learn to fire the torp at the right time when the target shield is down. Use Broadsiding with the 2 Beam arrays to maximize DPS on the current target, then turn the front enough to get a torp shot. Or change to using Cannons that you can get from the equipment vendor right when you take the Downfall mission. The default ship is very slow in turning but it is doable, and it does take both heavy and medium dual cannons. If you can get a phaser relay tactical console, that would help.

You have to make good use of the boff skills: Torpedo High Yield 1 , Emergency Power to Shields, Tachyon beam. Have torp set to manual fire. Use the Torpedo High Yield, you have 30 seconds to use it up. Tachyon Beam to drain the shield facing you, while firing weapons at same facing. Fire the torpedo when you hear computer say enemy's shield is down.

You can buy some consumable Weapon or Shield batteries at the Ship gear vendor that unlocks when you accept Downfall.

You can get supplies and gear from trading with other players that have a character inside the Discovery starter zone.

That is true. My offer stands, but I would have to physically meet people at Discovery Starfleet Academy to transfer some stuff to help.

[CommanderHorhay]

from what i hear people can't join in on this since its a tutorial. i did get a response from my ticket they said they will pass the info over to the dev team so i hope this gets fix soon.

[Wisecasper]

I can see other players walking around, but I have not tried to trade with them. I can get the stuff to my character through account bank on my Bridge. I am hanging around at Discovery Starfleet Academy for the next 10 mins. Just jump up and down in front of me, I have purple hair. I'll attempt to give the stuff to you.

[Riptide]

I started a new account since my account was only level 7 and i have a new one at level 34 after 2 days of playing and i have been able to do a lot more mission and haven't tried the mission yet
