I feel Starbound is too hard

Honestly, I don't feel like the game is too easy or too difficult. I think that it's too unbalanced.

It's difficult when you first enter a tier because the gap in difficulty is outrageous. But once you get the material to craft on-tier armor and weapons, it becomes insanely easy.

Here's what I mean.

In a balanced game, at each level of difficulty there's a gear you can make that is the top of that level's class, and is incredibly strong to help prepare you for the next level of difficulty. When you proceed to the next level, this gear should put you just enough on-par with the enemies there to survive long enough to make that level's gear.

In StarBound, you enter each level of difficulty wildly unprepared, and your goal is to sneak around and hope not to die until you craft that sector's armor, at which point you become able to survive quite easily. In fact, you could say this gear is overpowered for the tier you craft it in. However, once you move on to the next level of difficulty (the next tier), your armor becomes laughably UNDERpowered, and you go back to playing ninja while you try to make the next armor set.

So because of this odd choice of balance, StarBound has moments where it feels incredibly easy, and moments where it feels punishingly difficult, rather than simply being a smooth ride the way any game should be (at least in my opinion).

Once you get a gun in this game, things become so much easier.

Well now my alerts are spammed up and I don't even care about the thread anymore so is there a way to end this thread or like hand over leadership of it or whatever you could call it

One of these days someone who creates a monster they can't control is going to take care of the problem himself. Or, if they're going to rely on third party intervention, at least provide the torches and pitchforks. Maybe a nice box lunch, too?
