What do you think of seperate difficulty settings for ground and space?

While I belive both forms of gamplay are essential to keep this game interesting I myself enjoy space segments far more than ground. Due to my preferences the majority of my resources go into space gear and my ground gear while passable isnt even close to as good.

As a result I need to turn the difficulty up to elite to get a satisfying fight out of space combat but that in turn makes ground combat frustratingly difficult. Because of that I have to play in normal to handle missions that have both space and ground segments making the space segments rather dull as I can shred through almost any ship the game throws at me in seconds.

I could use some of my resources to update my ground gear but I really dont care for ground combat and that kills my motivation to upgrade wheras I enjoy space combat so much I end up wanting to use all my resources on getting a larger variety of space gear so I can try out different builds and energy types. I cant be the only player having these problems

I can support this, would be even better if ground got a new "ultra easy" option. Not that it's hard, i just hate ground combat so the quicker I get back to space the happier I am, and if everything dies when I look at it I'll get back to space faster:)

Ground combat difficult ? 0_0
Are you sure we are playing the same game ? Even at Elite settings it is substantially easier than space.

My ground gearr isnt even close to my space gear in terms of quality and to be honest Icompletly suck at ground combat. The last time I attempted a ground mission on elite I got spawn trapped by the AI. They would kill me before the recovery animation even finished and it took me almost an hour to brake out of the spawn zone

Could have sworn we used to have seperate ground and space difficulties, dunno why they removed it.

Well, until recently I had un-upgraded MK XII VR gear (no Rep sets) for all of the away team and the character itself. The best of the gear was the Imperial set from a featured episode and TR rifle.
Still hadn't any trouble with ground combat - some boss fights get a bit tedious maybe, occasional death here and there.
