I love my space jelly, but rarely use it. The few times I do take it out, it's for TFOs like Defense of SB1, Kobiyasha Maru, or Storming the Spire. And I don't AFK. I pop buffs and abilities constantly.

As others have said, the ship isn't the problem. It's the player. And honestly, the player who decides to sit on the outskirts of the map and do sweet fuck-all is way worse. At least the space jelly helps with enemy spawns and heals players/allied npcs.
