Don't even try me! (Difficulty level)

Just tried ground combat on Elite at Vice Admiral with my Engineer and quickly, in about 2.5 seconds, found it was impossible for me. I must admit, my Engineer is more suited for Space Combat, but wow, not soloable for myself on ground. Just curious, any of you Engineers able to defeat the hardest difficulty on ground? If so, how do you go about it?

    Ground combat is broken right now at any difficulty over standard, and has been for months sadly. Unless I missed the change consider ground combat exploration missions functionally impossible.

    Ah hah. Guess it was a futile attempt to start with then. Thanks for that.

    Yes I agree it really sucks, but even the best people I know have stated themselves up, got amazing gear and died horribly. It's almost certainly not your play style that's causing it, let's hope the ground combat changes that are incoming fix this little problem.

    Has nothing to do with you being an Engie.

    Normal difficulty is as is ... though I have found some missions to be more difficult on my alts this past week then I ever remember them being the first time through.

    Advanced difficulty is some sort of sick joke, and has no difference from elite.

    Elite difficulty is horribly broken. Mobs can one shot wipe out your whole away team, or instantly stomp you into the ground one at a time, depending on which mobs you pulled from the hat for that mission. Lets not forget that many Lt and Commander mobs can heal themselves faster than your whole away team can do damage.


    Space combat on the other hand seems set up well as far as the difficulty tiers, with a few exceptions.

    I would say one shoot kill happen (ok, very close to one shoot kill) on advanced with my Vice Admiral. I tried to do the new weekly mission «everything old is new again» and i had my TRIBBLE handed to me by some ensign npc and yet the Devidians on that mission where very easy to kill. I did the same mission with my Klingon commander on the same difficulty level and it was easy.

    I hope they correct that bug also because on advanced space mission like you say are easy and on Elite (even some on advanced) the ground mission are a pain in the TRIBBLE... I think with each new mission the bug get worse.
