Space Siege multiplayer a complete waste of time?

[Pottsey]

From what I can see you start off at max level with all skillpoints, all weapons, all implants but no robot and no way to get one.

Just what is the point of a multiplayer game when you start off with pretty much everything and you start at max level?

I haven't played the game, and don't know much about it; but I assume that the multiplayer modes are all about the gameplay and tactics rather than character development. If that's the way the game was designed, and it's balanced, I don't see the problem.
