Is it me?

Little background im a huge pvp fan. Its the reason i play mmo's behind that its scifi orcs and elves are not 4 me neither are trolls hobbite munchkins and joo joo bees.


So when i heard about sto i got excited i was between games playing nothing. Started playing sto and noticed it um .... well lets just say it has a long way to go. But it didnt bother me too much remeber im here for space pvp and i played a game for 2 years that really had no content outside of kill mobs (silk road online ) FTP and its now botcountry but back then the pvp was great!!! Google passion is a monster on youtube thats me dressed as a thief its a random encounter frapsed by the guy on the horse i had no clue it was being made.

Now 12 days later im admiral so i finally look at chat to see if there is a fleet recruiting there is i join and figure lets see whay they called it an mmo...... um yeah wont go there either. So i ask about how pvp works they school me i jump in a que and wait............. and wait....... and um dance on a table in sol and wait...... ok boom here we go 3 vs 3 .... not really each klingon ship has 5-6 lil ships with lasers helping shoot me needless to say i dont stand a chance in hell we loose something like 12-2 or similar numbers. It takes me 4 hours to have the same thing happen 3 times.

My question is is it me? Am i that terrible ? I never have been before at any type of pvp but if i just suck i can deal with and fix that but i have a sneaking suspicion sto pvp is way out of balance.

lvl 42 tac officer adv escort 7 rare (blue letter) mrk x weapons and i could barely get thru there shields.

    I have hope that those big sections on the paper map with the game turn out ot go like Eve and have a PvP area like Eve where we can set up our own little (or flaming enourmouse) star empires...

    Well... see it this way. Level 45 Klingon players... got their level through PVP. There is NO PVE contents for them; no monsters to kill or whatever; kill players; all day long; every day. From level 5 to 45.

    So you might thing you're good at another pvp game; or that this game is unbalanced. But it all comes down to player experience. You can't expect players to act like NPC's; and player DPS is far from NPC dps. So everything is much faster.

    As for the "lil ships"... you fought carriers or science officers. Either way; those are only pets; and are not really much more than a nuisance; just like the federation mine spam. It can interfere a bit with targetting; but the damage is just low and can safely be ignored while you focus on the players.
