I came at Candle in a Hurricane as a beginner. I had been playing for only a few days when I reached this point in the story line.
First time going at it I slogged through the first wave and about half of the second. At which point I ran out of time and had to shut it down. Died 2-3 time that first go. I came back to it the following day. Was disappointed to see that I had to do all 3 waves again.
To this point I had been skating along. This mission was a wake up call. Made me look closely at my skills, boffs, and hot key layout. In the end it made me a better player.
I fail to see the difficulty issue with this level, my experience leveling a couple of rom toons this year is of getting ahead of the planned XP curve quickly and finding the space battles a cakewalk on normal, probably did it in the standard Arkif running dual beams and torp up front, turrets rear.
My most recent toon had the advantages of a leech and valdore console from previous cstore purchases, didn't die once and ate through the elachi including the end dreadnaught.
If the level seems very tough try equipping the best green gear your capt can use, then use your abilities and cloak/de-cloak for 25% extra spike damage.
Bear in mind that when this thread was first active ... during the first month or two of LoR, the mission was considerably more difficult than it is now.

Yes, hence my not-so-subtle reference to "when this thread was first active ... during the first month or two of LoR ..."
