it's actually really helpful to have that extra 5s especially on cha raaba assault where you can pop it at the minelayer and it stays up until you reach the frigate.

Fact is that some of us LOVE Them. You folks complaining that they are too hard or a "Massacre", or "Impossible" just a few I've heard, are obviously just bad. Did you think HEROIC space mission that gives BH Coms would be faceroll easy ? They in fact are not Impossible, they are Hard, challenging, and take skill. so QQ all you want, but at the end of the day, you just lack the skill necessary to complete it. you shouldn't be able to Queue for it the first time and fly through and 1 shot it ...... to me that would be a waste of time. It's because of QQ such as this, that challenging content such as the new space missions gets NERFd to the ground...

(Bioware Developers - Please Ignore all this QQ, you've done a fantastic job giving us something to spend some time and real EFFORT on with this new round of space missions.)
LOL, are you serious? Reporting anything on the test server dosn't do a dam thing. Look at troopers/BHs elite WH gear. You need combat medic gear to swap for combat tech gear and vise versa. This was reported time and time again and it still went live. Get a clue bro, they ain't listening.

FInally some hard content, and you COMPLAIN? Try again and try harder.

The new space missions are not hard content. They are very easy, but I think people have just become accustomed to the lazy regular space missions. Just use your ship mods the right way and you should have zero trouble with these.

With a max modded ship, the old space missions were way to easy.
With a max modded ship the new space missions are to hard by about 25% for me.
80% of my playtime is space missions. In other words I sometimes spend 1.25-1.5 hours a day playing, with about an hour of that in space. These missions are, or were, a fun little thing to do after work and I pay just as much as the hardcore players. Bioware really should knock the difficulty down about 25%.
There are enough Heroic this, hardcore that in the game for the nerds that have nothing better to do than figure out damage to the 1000th degree and play for 10 hours a day. I hope they adjust this-soon.

Maybe make a hard difficulty and an easy difficulty, cause while I usually play 1-4 hours (depending on an Ops with the Guild), I love the challenge this brings without having to get a bunch of people together and do a HM Ops or get ripped apart when puging in pvp.

I love the difficulty cause I feel a sense of accomplishment when I complete these missions with minimal gear and I am only using my own time to beat it. Me and a few other guildies keep trying these missions as a diversion from the monotony of level level get better gear get better gear and brag to each other if one of us beats one.

This reminds me of Lost Island HM, it was a challenge but not too bad. You felt good beating it before, but the gear wasnt worth the effort. It was a FUN GAME to play.

Now while I understand more people can play it, theres no real challenge with it, just another way to get BH comms.

Keep them hard, people that want to have progression and get through these easily can buy the new gear for it. They will probably release even better ship gear which will make these a ton easier. I wont buy that gear, I'd rather push my skills on these missions.

^ This.

Also, the main reason people can`t complete this even with grade 7 is only cause they grow accustomed to playing the grade 5 missions in grade 5 or even 6 equip. Go back playing those grade 5 missions with grade 3 equip, when you no longer having difficulties with them (and all bonuses) then try again the new missions, even with simply grade 6 equip. You`ll find them much easier.

The new space missions are way way too hard.

Compared to the original space missions which are way way too easy.

Hire someone from the X-Wing or TIE Fighter team Bioware!! Someone who knows how to program fun challenging content, not insanely stupidly difficult/impossible to complete content.

I had a look at the new space missions and saw that they all had grade 7 ship gear as recommended. ***!!!

I don't have the grade 7 so which mission is the easiest? Is there any mission I can do without being BiS for ship?

Depends how good you are. Some could do all missions in grade 6 gear, but obviously gear makes it easier. In most missions if you're not reaching end of it alive(with missing objectives or not) in grade6, grade7 won't help you much.

I consider escort mission esieast, closely followed by station assault, where main difficulty is avoiding obstacles. Icefield is also quite easy, altough you need either firepower upgrades or some practice at putting as much damage as possible into main objective in given time.
