Does it seem like your ship is more squishy than it normally is? I started noticing that I am taking more damage than is usual.

Check traits, power levels, ship loadout.
Support 90 degree arc limitation on BFaW! Save our ships from looking like flying disco balls of dumb!
Could be a Romulan ship?, they are squishy by nature... (I have to be extra careful when i fly them
As you level up so do the NPCs. What was a cake walk at level 49 came be very much harder at level 50.
Huh? Why not?
More challenging.

What is your current level?
Once you pass level 50 NPCs starts to become more difficult; they do more damage and have better hull and shield capacity. To me it is not really noticeable until I get to level 56.
It could also be the enemies you are currently fighting as well. For example, the Vaadwaur and Iconian ships are pretty challenging, but Na'kuhl ships are easier to fight than those ships.
UI?, yea thisl never get fixed.
and are you sure it was not exotic damage abilities that explicitelly ignores the shields?
No bleed from energy weapons is an issue period, you may not think so, thats fine, it is.
Torps are even worse, and shouldn't be.
Lol stupid forum mechanics
Im not talking about tacmax builds here like my rommy who has one hull heal period, im talking about heavy shield sci builds, with hardness/capacity, and regen specced.
Torps especially are unbalanced, i dont care if terrans for instance take my shields down with sci/strip skills and then i get slammed by a torp spread, im talking about that sci at close to 100% shields and losing 15% hull on a torp spread.
Thats ridiculous, energy weapons are also bleeding through too much as far as im concerned, they are however only nasty in certain situations, like the badlands.
I feel your pain, I pvp and you can imagine how much shield bypassing stuff there is in a match. I've never been a fan of having lots of shield-bypassing mechanics. I'm honestly not sure how npcs are doing this much damage right to your hull. I haven't been having any of those problems myself, but then again I haven't gone against npcs lately. Maybe something happened in a recent patch?
Just did CF ADV 100% shields, hull, 1 shot by a beam from the tac cube, damage history, 22k hit kill me & YES its like damage resistance just stops working, iv had to go from running at 24% to 30%+
Well ignore that post, after work and i cant seem to fix it.
I am talking about the badlands to be more specific, and yes i am tanking her with threat stance up and she has beams galore slamming into her, that is understandable when bleed is considered.
The quantum spread bypass and hull dmg however is not and is oped.
Mission content?, no that isnt an issue at all.
My ship was a T5U Galaxy Refit and not my normal T6 Krenim Sci or even my beloved T5U Excelsior Retrofit (because I was grinding out the Galaxy mastery to see if I would like it again--I still don't). I still had the BLUE PHASERS from the T1 Connie on her (six of them!) because they leveled with me and turn to blue Mark XII when you "upgrade" them later in the game.
I must say the challenge from that is quite refreshing on the Temporal missions I've done 10,000 times already.
If there are posts here that do not appeal to you, or opinions you disagree with, the best way to deal with that is to resist the urge to add comments. Instead, engage with the content you like! Don't feed the trolls!
I see this mostly as a direct effect from lag, it is pretty much the only time this happens to me.
For some reason borg RA's seem to be especially touchy for this lately.
Lol yes, my eyebrows went up when i was getting owned on the first temporal toon i took through those arcs, i was scratching my head.
Then of course it dawns on me that i am not flying my tac main with her full spec trees etc.
I take her in there to do them and she vaporizes everything in sight lol, just a matter of toon development.
And the challenge, to me, is making that arc MORE FUN. Thankfully, I still had the awesome Breen set to run the arc.

Lol i agree, having to slug it out is refreshing.
Manageable once I identified the source but the first ka-boom or two was startling.

Ships aren't the only place this is noticable, this temporal toon i have in the delta arc is wearing the temporal personal shield, every time i engage an enemy group i instantly get the personal shields failing message, she may as well not be wearing any.
All it takes is a lttle lag and you can have an oh **** moment soon enough.
This is par for the cousre STO stuff, after they launch any new content they start "tweaking" things to make it more attractive to spend zen on new ships etc.
Basically every time they patch a lot of new content, you just start over.
