You two are forgetting that facility is the level with possibly the most amount of luck factors in the whole game (or close to it)
Just because I can get the speed for frigate 23 "at least once in a while" means it's terrible? No, obviously not. And to be honest everything going right on facility + good doak + good trev is almost as crazy as 23 hostages. In fact, it could be crazier.
If facility 55s are terrible then I guess so are Frigate A/00A, all Statues, Cradle A, Surface 2 A/SA/00A, etc. The speed isn't hard there's just "some luck factors"
Think about what you say sometimes guys. You'll look back in a few months and be embarassed if you don't.
