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).

This one was a variation on "Ninth Rule". Same system too. Like the other patrol, this one took about 3 minutes in a DPS ship while learning the mechanics of the patrol. It feels "slower" than the other patrol, probably because there's more hopping around the map (just like Ninth Rule). The waves at the end are super easy compared to even a Normal Ninth Rule.
