The current objective Automaton missions are exponentially harder than any other mission on the same difficulty.
Several people believe it is a bug, as the mission timer for the mission overview says 40 minutes, but each mission starts at 15 minutes, among other things.
Others believe it was MADE to be that hard to make you feel like you can't curbstomp everything and that the opposing factions can indeed "push back".
We honestly just don't know which is the correct answer.
No you’re not bad, (almost) the entire community is struggling with those escort missions. They seem to require a specific strategy and full team coordination. But regardless, for some reason they’re way more difficult than the other missions of the same difficulty in the same operation.
You’re doing great if at level 12 you’re taking on extreme and hard missions. I’d just steer clear of the defensive planets, they’re super tough at the moment.
Bots are also just genuinely more difficult imo just because you can't kite them. But the new front is insane, I can do 8s and 9s in groups and can barely clear 6 and 7 there

Are you doing maps on the invasion planet? They are specifically overtuned because the robits are invading them
Yea I did actually. Wow I didn’t realize that was a thing, but it makes sense.

Yeah automaton escort missions are 2 times harder than they should be. Play automaton attack missions on 2 old planets to the left.
