Re: Phobos: running a scrub-tier Excalibur and was still able to deal with it easily. Got a BP on the fifth, though. Keep in mind that the drops are randomized; it sounds like you had very bad luck, there.

I agree that the Grineer have an easier time killing your excavators, but from what I saw, they also spawned more power core carriers; on Europa, I was constantly getting swarmed by MOA and antiMOA; only one in every ten of my targets were power carriers, which meant that I was constantly running out of power. On a few occasions, I ended up losing Excavators because an anti showed up while I was trying to find a core.

That said: I really don't like Excavation missions in general, in their present form. They're cool in theory, and they could certainly be improved without much difficulty if an additional method of supplying excavators with power was introduced, but relying on enemy spawns to get an item you need to proceed is pretty frustrating.
