Patrol: "Out of Control"

It's a pretty standard "defeat 5 groups of enemies" patrol, with the added wrinkle of the timed AoE attacks from the Borg. I actually enjoy this mechanic, especially when I'm in a slow-as-shit cruiser like I was when I ran the patrol today.

The story is nothing to write home about, as is usually the case with patrols. Alt-universe Iconians need our protection, blah blah blah.

For a brief moment, I thought maybe the other shoe was going to drop re: the Aetherians, but it was not to be (it also would have been very strange for that to happen in a patrol).

Hmmm... Good for speed-running like "Wanted"?

I'm no DPS chaser, and the character I used is weirdly weak against Borg for reasons I've never bothered trying to uncover, but I think you could probably complete it more quickly than "Wanted." I'm sure the XP rewards are far smaller, though.

I'll give it a shot and see how it goes.

I wouldn't consider myself a DPS chaser either, since I haven't even parsed my ship builds in at least a year or two. However, I definitely follow the meta and know I have (or at least) had some high DPS when I did parse.

TLDR: Maybe not a DPSer, more like a fast-damage hobbyist.
