I played the open beta and the one thing that gets me the most about that time til now is how easy the game has become. WHen OB fisrt started there were some encounters that were tough ex being fighting a battle ship in ur light crusier and such personaly i think that made the game fun and challaging at the same time now im not sure why but for some reason half way though OB difficulty of the game was reduced im not sure why but it was. Also on this topic im now lvl 36 and still im fight only 3 light ships (ex fighters and light crusiers) or 1 heavy ship (ex Battleships or crusiers) i would think that at this point in the game u might have to fight 5+ light ships and 2 or more of the heavy ships cause to be honest i actually go into deep space encounters and fight groups of ships just to see what i can do and if u think about ur ship and ur BO's abilities fight more the a couple of easy AI ships should be no problem what so ever. in closing i guess what it comes down to is the difficulty is just to easy and i think that it should be restored back to the way it was in OB for the begining areas and deffently an increase in the difficulty for the higher lvls
The difficulty was seriously nerfed badly in the OB. Before they ruined it the space combat was nearly perfect, fighting in space was fun, but the past week has just been severely boring, I go in and just do all sorts of stupid things and I manage to survive.
I heard a rumor they are working on a difficulty slider, which I hope is true, because if the game continues to be as easy as it has been I for one won't be playing much longer.
The only thing wrong with the difficulty on OB was the alpha strikes. At the time every ship you faced would open with 4-5 full strength torpedoes and there was just no way to survive. They went over the top with making it easier and hopefully will bring it back in line. My Fed just got 16 and it takes 3 battleships, 4 bops, 2 cruisers and a bunch of fighters to offer a challenge, anything less just gets plowed over.
This game consists of nothing but combat, which is bad enough for a Trek MMO. Then they made the combat so easy that you can't possibly lose. This game is now boring me to death.

Agree the alpha strikes were a pain and yes needed to be fixed but im in the same boat as u i actuallly had my first death the other day i was doing a deep space encounter with the dominion and they had 2 battle ships and a buch of Jem'hedar fighters with a couple of galors to boot with it and i still managed to eliminate the group upon returning
