I found another way to make this game the proper difficulty

Unequip your shields. I am now running with no shields and each battle is once again something that I have to think about. If you're not having a good time beacause it's too easy just take your shields off and presto, the game is still very playable, I've only died once with no shields.

EDIT: sorry to be specific and help devs out. I'm doing the Kasse sector patrols in my preorder connie with the standard preorder gear. When I had shields they never fell down so that I was taking unshielded hits and I never once had to use emercancy power to shields or rotate shield frequencies. If the game difficulty is working as intended we should have to use our abilities, it makes it fun. Also I'd like to point out that I was running with minimum power to shields and this still happened, using Covarient shield array mark II.

Now I'm continuing the Kasse sector patrols with no shields. I havn't died once there, only on the Kuva'magh mission against the three birds of prey. Even a battlecruiser can't deal damage to my unshielded hull with torpedoes and the hull regen returns it very quickly.


There, hope that helped.

    really, don't post difficulty complaints till you're level 30 at least. They're making it easy early on so people who are bad at games aren't alienated. Go try fighting a Hirogen for no shields, you'll get vaporized.

    Don't think so. Am at the cardassians now and hardly ever get any dent on my hull or one shield facing down.

    +2 battleships take ~12seconds and don't deal a single point in damage.

    all depends on skills/abilities of the BOs.

    Unequiping shields sounds like a nice idea. If you do a mistake they maybe are actually able to hurt you then. but I would've to switch so many BOs for it (no shield healing abilities anymore)

    lv38 and bored to hell

    I hate these 'suggestions'.
    When I was level 5 and complained game was too easy, people like you were saying "Wait till level 11, the game is supposed to be easy 1-10" (5 levels too much I thought, but whatever, I'll try to stay awake while fighting until level 11).
    When I was level 11 and complained game was still too easy, people like you were saying "Wait till level 15, the romulans will quickly make you change your mind"...
    When I was level 16 and complained game was still too easy, people like you were saying "Wait till level 20, the Henous (or whatever) will kick your aft!"
    Now I'm level 26 and still complain the game is too easy. Now you're saying "wait till you're level 30"... what's next, "wait till you're level 100, the Q will beat you silly!"?

    hrmm your in the t1 area in essentially a t2 ship complaining about difficulty... yup... makes sense...

    get a few levels and try that lol but we don't want to hear you come back on the forums crying about how hard it is to do so an so mission.. cause you seem like the kind of person that would whine its raining out.... then when it stops, that would ***** about its not raining now .

    Really...it doesnt get better!!! Nowhere!!


    EVEN AT ADMIRAL-RANK, COMBAT IS A JOKE...


    For another Possibilty to buff up the Combat for yourself, i will quote my suggestion out of this other thread:

    Lets just group for two or three people on the same map, but EVERYONE is fllying DIFFERENT missions!!!
    So all of the group gets higher numbers and stronger foes like we nearly all want it... and we get more loot and more skill points ;)

    I tried this way out on Admiral Level with my last missions, and Combat was as exciting as at the end of CB:

    You didnt get only higher numbers against you... the ships are also much STRONGER and delivers MUCH MORE DAMAGE :)

    I had a 5 Minute Fight doing so against the last remaining Apex BB of a 7 Ship Enemy Formation...and it was exciting:
    I really had to use everything i have, preventing me from dying :D

    This way, you didnt have to broke the way, MMOs are used to play and you could still stuff up your ship and use the best u could get...


    If its too hard for you doing so, just group with ONE other guy...its too easy, group with three or even Four others^^...but to be honest: in group with 2 other guys, you could get a really hard time and you could easily die...thats fun!!! :D

    Rear Admiral 2.
    It's just as easy now as it was at Ensign. The only brief glimpse of challenge came from Romulan Warbird Viral Matrixes...so expect that to be nerfed in to oblivion. :rolleyes:

    On top of the fact, even if you die, you can just charge back in and finish them off.
