I found this mission to easy, played it on hard. All that was needed was nuke everything and the ship ended up at 90% HP when I was done, on first try. I agree that it could have been hard if you jumped into combat without experience but you get plenty of it main game at the flying fortresses. As for Ygerna part of it also to easy because of enchants.
In fact I think the entire game was to easy thanks to the enchants. I like the idea of enchants but with them you can become invincible and 1-2 shoot everything. I had to remove any kinda +damage modifier on weapons to even get a challenge, but even after that I couldn't die anyway as my HP regen was 2,7% per second and I had 1500 HP and life leeched 400 HP every time it procced.
