Yep got my ass handed to me too. There are several problems I see with MP right now.
They aren't segregating the ships. I got in the Aurora and was put in a match of only Hornets.. Yeah.. I was slaughtered. Got in the 300i..same thing. In fact, was matched in the same group even.
The lag is SO bad that I saw ships literally jumping around the map. Like teleporting. Id be flying along and all of the sudden receive epic damage from no where and die. No warnings due to the lag.
