What's the deal with the conflict zones in Orna?

I thought I'd start a new Cmdr and try the features for new starters. Popped to Orna as directed and have my ass handed to me repeatedly by Master, Elite and Deadly NPCs. I think this would be putting most newcomers off? Is there a fix coming?
 
I am also having the same problem. Lost an eagle kitted out as high end as I could in PFA territory, and got instant nuked. At first, I thought it was one ramming me (this has happened twice in the low intensity zone, and I got zero kills there, because of super low dps of the only guns that gimble), but I realized fairly quickly when a dumb fire missile nuked my shields to 0, and halved my hull integrity. Can a dev or admin look into this?
 
Ya, even my fully modded Anaconda has a hard time when targeted in conflict zones. I can usually kill a ship or two before all the missles get my hull dammaged, so I cant imagine a smaller ship as they probably wouldnt last long.
