Why is the ship combat so poorly balanced in Starfield?

It feels like they didn't play their own game at all, and I'm not exaggerating. What the actual fuck?

    because it's a hackjob they spent very little time on just to tick the box of "space ship combat"

    What's the problem with the balancing? Are enemy ships too strong or the opposite? Is it a problem with a certain weapon class?

      Ground combat is braindead and easy.
      Starship combat is braindead but you get melted at the same difficulty settings.

        So there's a problem with that balancing too in your opinion? If it's too hard then try a starsystem with a higher level.

        Fighting against multiple ships at a time is supposed to be challenging but it's doable. FYI, you should not stay in one place and just shoot the enemy ships. You have to maneuver around them and use asteroids as cover.

                Stat points isnt an rpg mechanic. 5% to damage isnt role-playing. Getting real sick of nuGanker these days. The youth are so retarded that this board has become a bunch of confident dipshits eagerly ruining vidya. Thank god their idea of an rpg isnt the mainstream yet.

                t. didn't play the game

                In fact the perks are a little too impactful, you can't pickpocket, properly stealth, craft, use jetpacks, use or fly practically any advanced ships, and have almost no dialogue alternatives for quests unless you invest in specific perk points.

            How do you get around being killed? You just lock in on a ship and fire all your weapons to whittle down their health bar. It's the turkey puncher minigame with missiles and a laser.

              use your boost to get behind them, if fighting multiple enemies disable one ships engines then run away to make it 1v1 instead of 1v2, get better guns for your ship, lasers for shields ballistics for hull. Literally just use your brain.

        If you need to quick save every five seconds then you're not outsmarting the game.

            Those are supposed to be for the RP autists or people who have no main missions or sidequests left lol. That's always been the case.

        This. You don't have to enter the shipbuilder a single time. Just garden gnome up a large amount of credits and buy a good ship.

    Because the entire game is poorly designed. It isn't even a proper RPG.

    Its been so long since I've played a vanilla Bethesda game I can't even gauge how much worse this is than their usual shit. Ship combat is easy as fuck though, the only truly essential skill if all you're doing is story stuff is the Targetting skill as it acts like VATS for your ship and slows things down/targets subsystems. Just strip all your weapons and load your ship only with particle weps, as many as you can without going overdrawn on power. EZ.
