Difficulty (too easy or do i have a bug ?)

[oborchard]

Hi, seeing all those threads about looking for help in missions too hard etc. I have a question pointing in the opposite direction. Do i have a problem when i say that i find this game too easy since my vessel seems to be undestroyable ? At this moment i am still in the first system (just finished the storyline there so could jump to the next system) using a MASTADON and whatever mission i choose my vessel does not get destroyed. I can fly side by side against any Enemy Command ship, and yes my shields are always down cause of all the rockets hammering into my ship and even flying all the time against obstacles etc. nothing happens and all i have to do is using my fire button to just destroy every enemy vessel. And to be honest this seems a little bit annoying to me, is this a bug i am experiencing or does the game get any harder ? (Especially about crashing into other ships / rocks etc.) ? :-) Thanks in Advance

Same here! Still in first sector and got hammered by 4 fighters and 2 capitals. Shields completely depleted and several messages regarding hull breaches. I killed them all without any hurry and headed back to station. Repair...Done. What´s the point? Is the first sector some kind of training ground with fail safe option?

especially since this was not the case from the beginning, i remember in the first missions that i got destroyed sometimes, but suddenly this changed. I even can fly through a minefield and get hit by all the mines exploding, but nothing else happens ? There must be someone here able to answer if this behaviour is normal please ? :-)

ok got the answer myself - jumped into the next system - got killed directly ...but nevertheless anoying "feature"

The first system is quite easy snd remains that way...
if you have upgraded your ship I assume you also upgraded your defenses? If so you outclass the enemy's there... jump to the next system and see how it is...

On your sector map what's it list your systems threat at?
And is the next system still listed as high?

If you think the game is too easy try doing a "death drop" mission in a slow ship :p

@killerproblem - right as you said - jumping to the next system "fixed" the problem :-)
thanks for your help

I have never thought the game was too hard or unfair. In fact it may be a bit too easy. I can't recall dying since I left the second sector...many hours of gameplay ago...

The difficulty starts up when you get to MK 3 and beyond. There are missions I didn't expect to die in until I got to them in heavily armored ships I wouldn't expect to break.
