I like the addition of difficulty settings but I am finding the curve a bit much to overcome. When playing solo, I am able to barely beat enemies on Advanced which is exactly how I want it. However, I usually partner with a casual player from my fleet and setting the difficulty to Advanced means we don't stand a chance.
the problem is the curve for learning Advanced strategy is so high that it's next to impossible for us to learn to play together. As a result we are stuck at playing the normal difficulty even though we breeze through these missions every time (which is not fun).
Is it possible to include 5 (or more) difficulty settings instead of 3? It would be nice to play something a little less advanced than the "Advanced" difficulty but harder than "normal". Creating more steps to climb also allows us to gradually climb the ladder towards Elite gameplay which I am looking forward to.
