What's up with the fleet battle AI?
Okay, I've only been playing for like 6 hours. I played the storyline on Veteran and have had a great time so far. Started playing multiplayer fleet battle practice with my bud against the AI on NOR...

The Fleet AI pilots are strong. But if you stay close to your squadmates and raider/frigates, you can certainly manage.
The times I get insta-destroyed by the AI pilots are the times when I either get way out in front of the raider when combat changes from defense to offense, or when my squadmates get killed and I'm the last pilot left out in front attacking a cruiser or star destroyer. The kill-cams on those deaths usually show 3-4 AI pilots taking shots at me. The lesson is to try to play a bit more conservatively than you might otherwise, to regularly check to see where your squadmates are at, and to wait a bit before starting an attack after momentum shifts - the first and only pilot into range is going to soak up all the enemy lasers.
