Dear CG,
All this would do is turn Leviathan mirror matches to coinflips. Sure, it makes sure that P1+Exe cant climb at arena, but I would rather be put down the ladder by P1-Exes than try to climb that hellish mirror match.
Sith assasin Levi starting is perfect mirror match due to ai not using skill against the opponent and thats perfectly fine. At GAC, if you place the assasin starting lineup, it opens for counters agains Profundity and other fleets, while the Dagger starter opens for Levi counter and if you use Leviathan against Leviathan at GAC I think thats a very fair trade for both players. Besides Marauder and Negotiator counter STILL WORKS even with this change, and I belive that is cheaper than P1+Exe
What Im saying is that this will make Fleet Arena a living hell for us Leviathan users while fixining absolutly nothing.

Exactly how I feel. I always manage to get 1st place in FA (ok, almost, since there are days when I don't feel well or have to attend a party or whatever, and my payout hour is 6-7 PM), yet these days, I wake up and find myself in 15th. Which means that I have to spend most of, if not the entire, hour on FA. Just move crystals to somewhere else. I don't mind TB, Conquest and Raids all running at once. Don't get me wrong it's too many events all at the same time, but at least with them I can spread my battles throughout the day. With FA, players have to spend a specific hour, during which they, depending on their shard, have to fight the same fleets over and over again every day. That's not including whether or not there are other players with the same hour as you, in which case you likely also have to deal with them pushing you and each other back so they themselves can get the top rewards before time runs out. That is not a test of skill, that is just nonsense.
Rius or another user suggested a while ago that CG remove crystals from FA and make it so that you gradually win crystals doing other battles during the day. You fight/win a few battles in TB or Conquest, you manually win LS/DS/Cantina/SA/FA/etc. battles, you make progress, and at the end of the day you get up to 400 crystals. That would be the perfect solution. Those who actually enjoy FA can still do it, and at the same time nobody would have to dedicate a specific hour of their day to a single game mode fighting nothing but mirror matches while also having to deal with all the other stuff going on, in-game or real-life.
