Capital Games Team
I'm sorry, but I have to say this is ridiculous. Now mirror matches are just a coin flip. Now Sith Fighter kind of does nothing. I don't suppose you are going to refund all gear on Assassin for all those poor fools who took her to R9?
A better solution would have been to:
1)Nerf Punishing One and deal with the backlash;
2)Remove Punishing One from the game;
3)Leave everything the way it was;
4)Test Punishing One before releasing it;
5)Come out with a new Capital ship and fleet since we've been doing this Leviathan meta for over a year
6)Move the crystals from fleet arena to another mode
7)Fundamentally change the way fleet arena works so that as long as you score a certain number of points in a day, you can get top rewards instead of playing Musical Chairs with a flawed direct swap ranking system
8)Implement ship mods so we have more direct control over ship speeds
This is the worst possible choice that could've been made. The huge problem with Leviathan when it came out was the mirror matches. Then people copped onto some solutions, but now you're taking the strategy away again.
The problem here was Punishing One, not Leviathan mirror matches not being rng.
9) Delete conquest 😂
Just figured I'd squeeze one in for good measure
