Unable to Spawn as Some Hero Ships

Product: Star Wars Battlefront II
Platform:Microsoft XBOX One
What is your issue related to? General
Summarize your bug Despite having enough battle points to become a hero ship, some of them are unavailable as options with the game saying “Max Number In Play” despite the maximum number of hero ships not being met. I had 9425 battle points when I died and two team mates were Yoda and Luke and I was unable to select Tallie Lintra and Poe Dameron but both Rey’s and Han’s Falcons were options. I spawned in and killed myself to see if that would open up the option to become other hero ships and it did not. I waited more than five minutes to spawn as Tallie, and while I was waiting, a team mate became one of the Falcons (I am not sure which) which took away the option to become any hero ships because the maximum number was met. I kept waiting and when my team mate playing as Yoda died, the game gave me the options to become Tallie and Poe, but the game ended as I spawned.

Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have team mates choose one less than the maximum number of hero ships while you are still alive. Die, and attempt to respawn as a hero ship.
What happens when the bug occurs? You do not have the option to select some of the hero ships and will have to wait to see if you ever get the option.
What do you expect to see? The game will say "MAX NUMBER IN PLAY" and remove the option to spawn as certain hero ships. This has happened multiple times since in other locations also.

    @EA_Atic is this a bug or is it intentional that there aren’t three heroes with small ships?

    Hey @GRich1022 "MAX NUMBER IN PLAY" means that someone else is flying that ship for the moment.

    If you just played with that ship and died then you are blocked 1 round to play that ship.

    I hope this helps 🙂

  • It must also mean the max number of ships allowed are in use, whether it's the one you're trying to play or not. No game I've ever played let's us play all available hero ships (some with heros in GA). Only 3-4 can be present, period.... It would seem. You get the same message... At least I have. Repeatedly.

    I will agree, something is glitchy with the hero ships in SA.  I've had matches where I have enough for a hero ship, die, get dropped into the select screen, shows max # in play for hero ships, I pick fighter/interceptor/bomber, get dumped in to the waiting to spawn screen and a 1/2 sec later someone drops into the spawn screen with a hero ship.  Like, it wasn't there a second ago!  I know it's possible the timing could have been just right for a hero to die right after I selected and the person right behind me having the option to select a hero ship but for all that to go down in a second or less is weird.

    What really needs to happen is the dark side hero ships need to be evened out with the light side so it's possible to have 3/3 in each round at once.  I believe dark side hero ships are limited to two at the moment?  I know light side hero ships are far more prevalent for me to be able to use than dark side.
