Is there any way to make a difference in the patrols for the current event if you're not in the top 10% of DPS-dealers? I fly a relatively well-speced Eternal, and every time I enter a patrol, I can hardly get to a group of enemies in the Borg patrol and fire a few shots before the massive DPS dealing players have cleared the mission in half a minute. It's kind of annoying, because despite getting the rewards, it takes away the fun of actually playing the game and feeling a sense of accomplishment.

Make sure your mobility is set with options like Evasive Maneuvers resets andor Competitive Engines. These are pretty important, especially for the Borg RA which has large distances between groups.

If you just want to fight, though, I'd do the Tholian RA, which has a lot more enemies in a line formation, so you can pick a direction and start shooting without worrying about extensive travel time.
