So, everything about the Fallen S.A.B.E.R. Strike is pretty fun and well designed, EXCEPT for the starting Warsat portion of the Strike. This isn't so much a problem on normal, but the heroic version needs an adjustment.
Why, oh why, are there so many enemies coming at you for such a long time JUST to start the Strike? What's even worse is that this is on a timer where you're supposed to sit there for a long period of time, taking bullets in the face constantly while harder and harder enemies come at you, and you've only got 3 minutes at maximum before the thing explodes and starts you at the beginning again.
The Warsat portion on heroic NEEDS a balance adjustment so that it's not only easier for players to even START the Strike, but to also enjoy that portion of the Strike. I would suggest either less enemies coming per wave so that it's not a tsunami of pain, or perhaps have the transmat itself take only half the normal time.
Everything else about Fallen S.A.B.E.R. is fun and interesting, if you can just get through the teeth-grinding difficulty of opening the door.
Edit: Was specifically talking of Heroic, I edited the post and added tag to note this.

Just tried this on heroic to complete the Sleeper Stirs quest. Pretty much impossible. 1 billion mobs all do triple damage, and take 1/2 damage from anythign you can throw at them. I shot a Captain dead in the face at pt blank range with an Arc 291 shotgun, and those 6 shots barely took his shields down! He then proceeded to 2-shot me. 298 Light here, so I'm not undergeared. Tried again. THIS time I decided to give that Captain a taste of my super. EVEN WITH THE SHADOWSHOT ACTIVE, I BARELY BURNED DOWN HIS SHIELDS!! He -blam!-ing 2-shot me AGAIN!. Rockets? Ha! A 296 launcher barely scratched the paint off the mob's armor! Grenades?? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL Don't even THINK about melee. Seriously - To get -blam!-ed no matter what your strat, no matter what your light level, is nothing but an exercise in frustration. Now, the 1-2% of players who somehow got lucky, got 310 weapons and gear, and are facerolling this will come in here and say how easy it is, etc. Hey, glad you can faceroll it: Want a -blam!-ing cookie?? Because the rest of us can't.
