So, I'm just on the first planet playing Hardcore. I'm finding the new cover system sucky, as well as not being able to pause. I can't look around a rock or something to shoot, then regain cover, like the old games. I have to stand up or move around the cover to shoot. What am I missing? Also, is there any medigel? I've been at a sliver of health and can't get it replenished.
I'm at the defend the base fight with Cora, dying multiple times. I just finished an insanity playthrough of the trilogy, and find this combat much more difficult and not as tight.
Some tips, please! All I have so far is throw.

I don't play hardcore mode, so I can't really help you there. Do you dash a lot to escape from cover to cover?

yeah i am doing that, i'm just barely doing damage against the "heavies" and also Liam keeps dying and I can't revive him. How do I use medigel? Also do I have any? lol.
This tutorial so far w/ combat mechanics hasn't been good.

There is no medigel in SP. You have to go to an ammo crate with a red dot on it to heal.

This tutorial so far w/ combat mechanics hasn't been good. You have to get close to a team-mate to revive him/her. Can't use medi-Gel Edit: The feature was scrapped. You can't control what powers they use anymore, just upgrade their powers. And I have to check about reviving squadmates when near ammo crates, but I don't believe so.

I don't believe it revives dead team mates. You have to go them yourself and revive them. You don't tell them which ability to use. That is all up to the AI.

i can't get close i'll die, how lame!! Even on Normal, there are a few pain in the ass moments. Keep trying! I still haven't gotten used to the combat either.(I also died on this part) But remember to keep dodging and try targeting those "dogs" first, since they have the ability to flank you. -- You could order teammates to attack the Kett while you focus on them. Their attack commands are the arrow keys (if you're on Console)

I'm on hardcore, currently using mainly techs and rifle only as main weapon, just finished Eos main quest (maybe?). Are you still on habitat 7 or Eos? First planet is habitat 7 for some people, and Eos for some others.
The new cover system is okay when you get used to it. While in the previous ME you can hunker down on one point, this ME:A encourage you to move around the map to find more defensible position when you are starting to get overrun by enemies. Try to utilize your dash boost (mid mouse if you are on PC), also swap shoulder while covering (left alt in PC).

I moved dash to b since I always found clicking the middle mouse button to be troublesome.

I'm also planning to move Z and C (squad command), back to Q and E, but can't find a good replacement for E (use) button.

I wouldn't recommend playing on Hardcore if you're having trouble. Andromeda can be quite a bit harder than the Original Trilogy. Only ME2 even comes close to MEA Insanity.

I'm on insanity. Just as with any ME game it's just right for me. Master the controls. Be tactical. Be quick. There is not much to it really.

made it through all that and on EOS, getting 2 squadmates helpd a bunch, plus singularity now and push - good cc. ty. I can't figure out what this game is about. Very different from the trilogy. I can't put my finger on this one yet...

Honestly combat is something to get used to from the trilogy. the mobility, the jumppack, favorites system, etc. It's tough at first but I'm slowly getting the hang of it and actually enjoying it now.

Playing hardcore too, and it's a very welcome challenge in the early levels. I even expect to up the difficulty later when I can reliably execute combos and such. I never gelled (is there even medigel?) or used a shield booster, if I failed it was mostly because I got stuck with controls and pressing the wrong buttons at the wrong time - still learning, I think it's important to get your control scheme right, and make it very smooth. There's a lot more controls separated now that you have to worry about, and that created a problem for me, too.
Regarding cover system and everything I have the same problem as you. I think what this game is missing is "roll to another cover", which really made your repositioning a lot safer, if the terrain allowed it. I do feel much more fragile with this system just as you, and sadly I can't give any tips yet.
All I could tip for now is if you have a long range weapon, there are quite a few encounters on the first planet where you can jump up on a vantage point and snipe them from above - try to avoid fighting uphill, terrain advantage is something that wasn't utilised much in ME2 and ME3, it's something I sometimes did in ME1 but here it can work even better, actually.

Hovering in midair whilst being a biotic God gun platform is never going to get old. being an adept, vanguard, or whatever related to biotic is really cool and I liked it a lot, but it has becoming one of the mainstream character build. I finish ME1 as Adept, ME2/3 as Vanguard. In ME:A, I'd like to change my ways of play by becoming a Techies on hardcore difficulty

Hovering in midair whilst being a biotic God gun platform is never going to get old. Hovering in mid air is a great way of getting yourself gunned down, especially on hardcore, sad to say combat is harder, not because enemies are smarter or have more interesting abilities, but due to finicky cover systems and bullet sponge enemies. that said, if a pinch, if you spam the evade button, as long as you don't run into any obstacles, you are effectively invulnerable.

I agree that hovering in mid air is a mistake in most cases, but disagree with the rest. I think the combat is harder because the AI have better tactics this time around. You get used to the cover after awhile, spamming evade is not an invulnerability exploit IMO, and even on hardcore I'm not really finding the enemies to be bullet sponges.

First planet is habitat 7 for some people, and Eos for some others. Really? Huh... Didn't know So, do you know what is the pre-requisite to starting in Eos or Habitat-7? Or it's just Random?
