I genuinely love the game and setting and so far I've only played the demo, but you need to increase the respawn timer if you die a lot in a short time frame. I'm stuck in the first 2 v 2 battle for control of the sector and although we have every single resource node, and have surrounded the enemy battlecarrier with turrets, the sheer actual damage that the enemy ships can dish out in their 10 second lifespan plus the lengthy amount of time it takes for you to fly from one corner of the map to the other, means that it's genuinely very hard to actually deal enough damage to defeat the enemy carrier. Me and my AI partner can chip off about 20% of the Shell HP before getting killed by the built in Missile carriers + full health enemy ships spawning in and it's very hard to maintain the pressure because your own battle carrier only spawns two drones, no matter how many nodes you control.
I'm sure it's not impossible but it feels very bad when you realize you've spent 10 minutes in a statemate because there's no real consequences for gaining or losing total map control. Once again, wonderful game, I don't mean to be negative, it's just the game makes it hard to just finish the enemy, in the story mode at least.
