    As the title says the match making method is way too bad ...
    For instinct playing against a much bigger opponent is not fun Or having one of your team mates being Very weak (e.g..MK1) is not fun also ...
    So one more time, please fix the match making method.
    Suggestion:
    Make the match making priority as infamy wise or if it already is make the gap smaller like 1000 to 1200 so people in that range of infamy could be picked to take part in a match ... this simple tweak might fix the whole issue, just my opinion tho.
    Best regards.

    The matchmaking is already trying to keep the gap as narrow as possible. But if there are not enough people online it needs to widen to gap. Otherwise nobody could play and you would be just waiting in the queue. It's surely still more fun to play with wider gap than not to play at all?

    Cheers for the answer Miika, I respect it, but with some it cuts a fine line between balance & unfairness.

    For instance, I just hit mk4, this past week while still mk3 I had a number of games with mk1 players on my squad and mk5 or mk6 players on the other squad. Needless to say those guys were all using t3 epic weapons and more, we had almost no chance so I lost 600+ infamy in two days, I feel sorry to think what the new mk1 players thought about that...

    Given how that occurrence is not so rare, many would prefer to wait an extra minute or three for a similar matched squad so they had a better opportunity, rather than see themselves placed against a tougher squad than they can compete against, just because MM stuck them together to expedite a game.

    I was just in a battle with @Dmg don on my team. They were scoring 1100-1200 per hit while I was scoring 275 lol he carried my weight while I mostly ran away but that's a huge disparity. Now the servers are under maintenance and I'm wondering if it's a coincidence @Miika

    Coincidence with what? You think the servers are down because you played in a same match with Dmg Don?

    Not exactly, I thought maybe the matchmaker went screwy.

    Nope. We experienced a major unexpected outage at Amazon Web Services where our servers are hosted, something that haven't ever happened before. The game is now up again and we are continuing investigations with AWS support to find out what happened and how to mitigate it from happening in the future.

    True, but it's not like it's a 1vs1 game where mk2 has to fight against mk5 alone. There are 5 ships on both sides and usually there are matching low level players on both sides. When you find yourself as the smallest duck in the pond just try to support the big boys from behind them, and you can still contribute a lot to the battles. And as an end result you get more rewards from the battle than what you would have gotten by just battling with people on the same level as you.

    Thanks for the fast reply I can still earn lots of stars with stun or frost, but if I am separated from my team I am screwed if a yellow ship hits me frost or stun. Also most Big Bertha or RG shots can one shot me.

    I do not see things that easy. I played as defender with 6000 life points. With just 2 shots (two) a shooter striked me down. Is that fair? My weapons at my level doesnt make all that damage. Sorry

    Low level defender is a tough support role indeed. Maybe try to use yourself as a bait and when the opponent yolos to bully you hopefully your team can easily take out a stray enemy.

    What did you get hit with btw? No weapon should make 6k dmg with 2 shots reliably currently. Maybe two crit hits from maxed out t5 blast cannon with fire bonus could just reach that.

    I'm still MK1 and now being matched up against Mk3's and 4's. Grantee most or my teammates are higher levels but it comes down to relying heavily on them and hope I don't get one shotted. If I'm ever the last boat standing, I have no chance unless the enemy is really low.

    I feel the same way when I fight a speeder that has 2k more health than my defender and does 6x as much damage per shot. Great fun. :rolleyes:
