Freelancer missions too hard?

[me777]

I got the fighter ship from the storry and took the lowest level freelancer mission, there were like 10 ships but i was not able to even get the shields of one down. the enemys in the storry were so easy compared. It feels like the missions level is not balanced...

There’s the level number and turn the number of stars. The skull is the equivalent of 4 stars (the hardest)

You want the lowest level number AND the least stars.

If you have money buy better components and weapons for your ship.

I recommend replacing all
Weapons with rails guns in one group if you can

Have you got soldiers yet, if yes you can assign as your wingmen in factions tab. F1 key to assign helps a great deal in combat. Plus as Newynator said as well.

• What Pilot Level are you when you attempted this LFP?
  
• What Level is the LFP?
  
• How many Stars and what color was the LFP?

• What Level is your Ship?
  
• What Level(s) are your Components & Weapons?
  
• What grade are your Weapons/Components (White/Green/Blue/Purple/Gold)?

When you head into the "Instance" to fight the other Ships, do you hit up arrow twice to max your Weapons? Also, what Perks does your Ship have?

Having those answers will help us help you with your LFP Contracts.

Wow! did not know you could do that.. can you have your soldiers with you on ground missions too?

Unfortunately, no. But I wish.

I think I read somewhere that the plan is to add a feature where the other characters (Drane, Molyax etc) can accompany you on ground missions.

Thanks, I will try a lower level if one pops up...
to be honest I don't know for sure what level it was, but it was 1 star.
only looked at stars, that must have been the error.

On planet hack missions , before you enter planet assign your wing to attack mode ,they will shoot enemy soldiers that are attacking you.

I'm currently lev19 and I got the 'Test mission' for Rank 3 from the freelancer station to kill a squad lev21 and 3 red stars. My ship has several T2 equipment and I usually kill enemies within seconds if they are my same level or below, but not this one, this test mission is unplayable for me, I made it several times and had to reload, I lost all my shields and hull within seconds, although the difficulty is just 2 levels higher than my rank (but 3 red stars!). I keep the mission until I can do it.
The game is very unbalanced as for AI difficulty atm, expect an easy run if you stay within your pilot level, and expect 'impossible' missions if you run higher level missions which are not marked as easy (1 grey star). Especially true for ground missions btw.

There is actually an easy way to do a high level freelancer and bounty mission, find a ship with both clocking device and missile cluster skill.
Enter the battle, hit the clocking, move backward, keep firing missile cluster, that thing is extremely overpowered and can 1 shot a ship 5~8 level above you. just keep moving backward or side to ensure missile wont hit you(it's hurt), bring addition battery to replenish power.
If you aim right, you can take out most of enemy in cloak and finish what remain with missiles.
