I feel this way too, but a lot of it has to do with the insanely unbalanced matchmaking within hangar showdown.
Like most of the time, the enemy team has average of 1.4x total power compared to me and a random player on my team (right now my inventory power is almost 30k), and a few times, an enemy player had literally 100k, which really set off balance because their team had more than twice power than mine.
So I get your pain, and it is indeed quite frustrating as the only reason I'm doing hangar showdown in the first place, is because I'm gathering up the elite mod parts so I can upgrade my legendary mods on tailsting to max lvl.
(current Tailsting mods are: lvl 5 legendary blockade ml, lvl 4 legendary canopy, lvl 6 legendary hardened hull, lvl 4 legendary galvanic hull)
