It's not that the mothership blows up so quickly, I THINK that I can handle by trying to keep it out of the fighting. It's that my -fighters- blow up in -seconds.- I'll launch myself and ternie, and as I'm setting them as a squad, an enemy shoots and ternie's on fire. I go to try and dock myself because it's clear I'm way out of my league, and -I'm- on fire- then game over.

Add to that the fact that half the time I'll order fighters to attack a target and they'll just sit there, or bonk into the mothership as if they've no idea what this big chunk of metal is or how to get around it... it's leading to very short fights.

Also, since I noted it. How the -HELL- do you earn cash? If I go outside the 'story' missions, I get shredded by 'story protecting' superweapons. If I follow the story, I don't earn much money...
