Fleet Battles Vs AI is Too Hard

Yeah I've been playing on easy and im getting pretty sick of getting my butt kicked. Who in their right mind thought this was a good difficult for something called easy. The stupid cruiser sometimes takes out my capital ship on the first round. This is just stupid. Im pretty good at this game too. The first couple times I played it it was fine. I beat it no problem. But its like the game increased difficulty. I just beat it again but man it was CLOSE. I didn't I was gonna be able to do it. Sometimes as soon as I spawn I get insta locked on my missiles. Im starting to spend too much time waiting to respawn while cruise wipes the map of my capitals. 15 seconds is way too long to respawn. 10 seconds max. They do way too much damage while youre sitting their waiting. 

Also the ping button is a pain to use. I was hoping that it would make it easier if I start pinging the cruiser and having my team take out the cruiser.. but I fight with the ping trying to get it to lock onto it. I will be right next to it and either it won't pinch it for attack or it will ping some random tie fighter off in the distance. Then once I DO finally get it to ring it doesn't seem to make any difference on getting my team to help destroy the cruiser. 

This game started out being a BLAST to play. But its this kind of crap that's gonna make me bored with it real quick.
