- Add DPS (and even Epic level ship parts) as part of the Matchmaking for PVE Ques

Having been matched with players that both flew around the map faster, and severely out DPS'd me, and then going online to read others view of the system, I thought this would be good feedback to provide. As a returning player, I CBT'd and have avidly played World of Warships, where the Matchmaking System is under constant evolution and iteration. In Star Trek Online, there is such diversity to ship builds and the builds between newer and casual players, as opposed to dedicated grinders and players that have maxed out their builds; that there should be some way for a light 'stratum' to be implemented to prevent false positive AFK penalties.

In my own case, I thought I had a good ship, but was simply put to shame during the PVE match, and then penalized because my DPS did not meet the criteria for participation. In other ques I did not have any problem, but because the que matches are not tiered or segregated by difficulty (that is clearly discernible), I ended up a bit out of my league.

Both background matchmaking improvements, and more clearly defined ques to steer players to ques that they are capable of adequately participating in would serve the community better.
