Ok short and sweat, i was in a space battle. it was me vs 3 BoP -1, wife calls me to dinner so i figure screw it i will just leave it and respawn when i come back. so i eat dinner ( was yummy ) come back and guess what there i am with 2 bop flying around me attacking and i have full shield str.

Have to bump up the difficulty a little guys even if it is 1 to 11

I have seen that the earlier levels are easier than they were in closed beta, but i don't recall having anything like that happen. There were a couple battles where I was able to take out the small opposing squadron easily, but nothing where a group of 3 BoP weren't touching me.

Are you sure the mission was of the appropriate level? Perhaps you could have been doing a L4 mission at Lt. 8 or something?

am lvl 9 and the missions was 7 i think and the BoP were -1

so easy infact i just alt-tab'ed down in the middle of a ground fight to type this. i will still be alive when i get back just need to drink somthing first and then go out with the dog......

Guess you've been lucky.. I did SS Azura with 4 battleships instead of frigates :p

i think they eased it up a little bit and definatly sped it up due to people complaining about the length it took to get out of lt which is supposed to be the tutorial. also birds of prey have a tendancy to cloak 2 of them when there in 3s that might have helped you live but it dose sound wird that you lived that long and were still alive.

Yeah I've been getting my butt kicked by Batleships, Warships, and Dreads. If it's too easy, why not go to another sector?
