So typically, the night after I make a blog post hoping for more Classic Trek fan-pleasing stuff turning up in Star Trek Online, look what I bump into.  Awesome :-D

Sadly it went down a little easy, as long as you avoided the front of it whenever it fired.  You get special torpedoes which when fired straight down its opening, will damage it.  If you miss, you have to refill them, but with your fellow starfleet ships distracting the machine itself, it doesn’t give you too much trouble.   Its a great fun mission, but it would be nice to see the Doomsday Machine as more of a payoff to a questline than a single quest.
