It shouldn't be THAT difficult...
What level is your character and what ship do you use? Are you on normal difficulty? Did you do any queues recently and forgot to repair?
You should let us know what ship and gear you're using, because it's not supposed to be a hard fight.
I don't think they even scratched my shields. If you let us know what level you are and what ship you're using, we can probably help you. You obviously have some issues with your ship build.
The mission can be played by a level 10 character. There might be a level - balance issue. Since you picked the mission, you can play it whenever you want. It will be placed at level 60 at some point, but even then you can play it and replay it.
I have always said. STO and most other mmo's are far more challenging at lower levels. How do you want to go into a battle, with little information, with a battle ship or a simple frigate.
I was doing the mission at highest level, but after posting this i lowered to mid and easy on all characters and had no problem... it was engaging, but i could finish. i rearranged a few things and stocked up on anti tholian weapons. Thanks. My Tac officer had the hardest problem.... rally cry and suport items while my engineer and science had better offense on ground and mopped the floor with them and the space battles were close but beatable. thanks. I uswed Krenim, Malon battle cruiser and scince t-6 in first losing efforts, had grav well, rift and fleet call ins on first attempts, but it seems when i reduced tfrom elite to difficult game was manageble. thanks for answering, sorry i did not respond sooner..... In an unrelated topic was using my lowest character a science level 42 in a PvE and though i seemed to do ok, i was slapped with an AFK penalty....? never had one before, and was last to leave the mission. i had a slow turning ship and spotty connection but did my best to be a part... had a few hits and did some damage.... sigh, sh=rug live and learn i guess
i was using level 60 character with t-6 cruiser first time, but was at top elite level... so i was being destroyed very quickly.... after i recalibrated and reset to norm/mid level difficulty i was able to be challenged, but complete. thanks. i had not encountered elite wipe where after several resdpawns i was making NO progress.... but as i said after reducing level and adjusting seemed ok
nope, all advanced gear, experienced over 6 months in battle to reach level 60 character and as i said advanced weapons and ship, just a tough first run on the episode.... i also adjust my power levels and have not had preious problems....
thanks... like i said i adjusted level down and experimented with 3 characters at different levels and with different shios and gear. my tactical had the hardest time, while my lpwer level at mid difficulty had an easy ground and so-so space experience. Thanks. Just needded to know what weapons vs tholians and advice on difficulty.... as well as experience at elite level and getting used to various capabilites ....
make sure your doing it on normal and using level appropriate ship/weapons. they just shoot and move in a circle around mobs... faw. also 100 power to weapons.
Approach slow trigger torpedo spread. As you get in range faw + TS if you timed it right TS is hot in about 5 seconds. By then the meshys should be dead.
I had one really difficult in Sunrise when I took my Fed pilot ship in and forgot to set all weps to auto-fire. It was a long fight using one wep at a time (never got into macros), but got it done and never died (Normal-level). Did it again with auto-fire an the fight was over in little time.

Unless you are doing the mission at low level, in that case you need to tell us more.
Why do I suspect the OP is flying a ship with all it's original gear and all power levels at 75, but also on Advanced?
Most unexpectedly, this turned into a flame-fest! Closed it goes!. /sigh What flamefestery is this? pwlaughingtrendy
If you're not doing it on normal difficulty, it sounds like you probably should be.
