Capital Games TeamI believe this update is overall excellent.
However, the section regarding fleets at the end shows a critical lack of consideration.
You listed investments in fleets, team compositions, battles, and counter-strategies, but even if those aspects are improved, it does not change the fact that Fleet Arena remains an extremely unfair mode where only a small group of colluding players can receive the top rewards.
The most serious issue with fleets is the dominance of collusion.
Just like Squad Arena, unless Fleet Arena is removed, a truly “fair” game cannot be achieved.
The Fleet Arena Meta is stale and can be taken advantage of. I have an original Fleet Arena Shard with lots of Leviathan and Executor Fleets. With Rebel B-Wing I can break into the Top 50 easily with the Home One Fleet. Additional Ships and Fleets would open Fleet Arena to all players even more than it already is. Fleet Arena Shard Updates would help correct the feeling of a stale Fleet Arena. You can get Fleet Ideas and Counters from many of the SWGOH content creators on YouTube.
