This is a LEAP backwards. Was the intent to make ships even easier? Who came up with falcon not being able to be targeted? Do you ever stop and think at any point, “guys, we have movies and canon to reference, let’s make sure this makes sense!” Cause I remember it being attacked exclusively non stop. Can you stop with these bizarre out of nowhere abilities like stupid C3PO? This is the C3PO of fleet now. Great step backwards!

I thought you all wanted to get away from forcing cookie cutter crap? This ship alone puts that statement in the waste basket.

If it was OP enough to make Home One and the Rebels competitive in ship arena i would've been OK with this, but the Falcon is OP to the point of overkill... like everything (and this is from someone who has the Falcon unlocked)!

Yeah, fleet had seen a great turnaround after the changes to gameplay a while back. All the top teams weren’t running chimaera, I was encountering every capital ship in the top 15. A variety of teams too(geonosians, houndstooth and Kyloand fotfp based teams, houndstooth and Phoenix based teams...)I was even taking number 1 a few days a week with my gauntlet, houndstooth, tie based team. Now only days after event the top 5 are all the exact same team, soon that will be top 20 and so on. It’s no good to make it where only 1 team is truely viable. Man when it comes to involving chewie and Han, y’all really go over the top.

This ruins ships for many . Waaaaay to OP. After 3 years of playing and being in top 5 or 10 max finish. There's not even any point battling without 1 ship !!!?? Also my silencer doesn't stun... full turn meters/no foresight... the opponents HT doesn't get debuffed. .kylo dv ect . If these are glitches they need fixing fast.Makes any team with ht and HMF next to invincible. I really enjoyED ships til this.I like the challenges of having to switch up teams to beat other different ones..except now..without the single new ship people won't even be able to get into ranks. May be time to hang this game up !!I think many feeling this ^^^

It just means they will be introducing more OP ships soon to balance it out

Yep. None of those other things broke ships.
But the Millennium Falcon has.
If you don't have it, you're in big trouble if you want to be competitive towards the top of the ships ranks.
It's ridiculous that a single ship means you can't be beaten by people that don't have it.
There's no paper, rock, scissors strategy anymore.

If you've been at the top of your fleet shard and didn't prep for the Falcon.... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ meta changes are fast and disruptive. This is no different than others (and agree, Ships 2.0 changed everything, and quickly). IMHO, this is noting relative to the disruption that was ships 2.0.

Maybe I'm confused because I have three accounts and three Falcons and didn't really break a sweat getting them to five star.

How to prep for something that didn't exist until now and only now is confirmed to exist and also what is required to farm for a ship that never existed is only known now? :p That's like saying "Oh just have everything farmed maxed out so you are always "prepped". lol.

If they did the event right then it'd be empire ships to take the falcon, but because they wanted money, its bh ships, and you can't just use your already farmed up Slave one, no, it has to be "any 4" which was also a "surprise" right up until the release.

I've taken first place with no BH ships for months and months. I never wanted to farm them to prove a point, but now I have to and will just wait for Falcon to return so I can be competitive again, because sif pay 100's of dollars just to keep a spot I had worked hard for, for free.

As we've seen from Bast and then Revan, as we saw from Traya, they seem to like simmering the powerful toons for awhile. Then making you chase the bigger fish later on. So for some months I can see Falcon being a ship that will dominate, but upon its return, that is when other OP ships will come out :D

There is no balancing it out! Ships just entered the power creep mode, just like arena and it will be getting worse with every new ship from this point onward... all because of $$$ and EA/CG's greed!

I played a lot against Falcon+Ackbar fleets past days. In my shard actually i see ca 20 teams with it. Some with 7 star falcon, wow! I tried different aproaches, but it mostly ended up in a fast defeat. Very frustrating. With all the bonus attacks it is a fast massacre. No chance at all. Also against 5 star falcon i need much luck, seldom happening.
3 dumbs down for this poor development.

When HT hit ships it was at least beatable and there was still some variety in top 15 of my shard. Now it's all Home One with Han's Falcon and they destroy everything non Rebel! Ships is officially broken!

So yes, practicaly ships are “broken“.

Oh man, I will forever miss ships pre-Falcon era. This is worse then when 2.0 came out.
Just like with Revan ruining normal Arena, Falcon has come in and just made the top 20 exclusive to Falcon owners.

You have AA and Falcon up, then gg you win, you have the others? prepare for hard battles that you mostly lose with you not being able to do anything about it. Prepare to Fear the AA ship, see that capital, move a long.

I am quite glad for my ship shard chat now, I'm not in it but because of it It allows me to jump between the OP shouldn't be this strong Falcon way to powerful it only exists because yay greedy devs ship.

./sigh, and ships was one of the last areas that I still found fun in this game.

You did prove a point. You proved that you're bad at planning ahead.

That said, I also agree that MilF is unnecessarily powerful. I would have included one of outmabiuevre or the 50% assist chance, not both. My shard top 10 is now the 8 of us who unlocked falcon just shuffling around amongst each other, plus one or two other players who occasionally get lucky enough to break through.
