Added fleet to kyber GAC...

I hope this means we're getting over 15 more ships this year so we have enough for each capital ship.

Maybe we can do a collective effort and refuse to place the 3rd fleet everyone ?

Just adding in that I think this is a poor idea as well. No way are we ready for more fleets in gac.

Just more proof as to how disconnected from the community the devs actually are. But, as has been their current m.o. for quite a while....create a problem so they can sell the solution. Doja is SO glad he left so he doesn't have to put the spin on this steamy pile!

did they add fleet squads yet? i cant bear to maually set a 3rd fleet on defense when we should be able to save them

No fleet squads, but you can set your fleets in the defense tool and not have to worry about it after that.

About time for some fleet templates!

There will effectively be a fleet template for GAC. The set defence feature will keep what you set. Not quite a squad feature, but close. Not for attacking of course.

How many functioning Fleets are even in the game? Executor, Negotiator, Malevolence, Finalizer, Rebels, Empire? That leaves the Raddus and whatever garbage is left over…

Max. 7 with some undersizing and cross-faction borrowing.

• Executor, either bare bones with just the 5 BH ships or with EH / borrowed Empire ships (Empire has a full fleet now and any holes can be plugged with the 3 non-Empire Sith ships).

• Malevolence, undersized with just the Sep ships. Can no longer reliably counter anything since it was "fixed".

• Negotiator has ships to spare, but you can no longer afford to use mixed-fleet counters / defense fleets with Sun Fac or TIE Bomber and ruin other fleets in the process.

• Home One can spare a ship as well. But you better have Bistan's crew reliced and Cassian's at least at g11 if you want to counter anything serious or put up a defense that isn't a complete pushover.

• Chimaera / Executrix. Could be pretty decent now if you have the Gauntlet crew geared and the new Interceptor unlocked. But of course if Negotiator borrows TIE bomber or Malev steals ITF the fleet falls apart.

• Finalizer works well enough on offense with the 5 FO ships assuming you have Echelon unlocked.

• Raddus still has to make do with 4 Resistance ships plus 2 rebel/GR leftovers. You could throw in 2 Sith ships but there's zero synergy.

Even with 7 fleets you can only afford to lose 1 battle. There's no cleanup fleet after a second loss.

Ummm what???

So that means Kyber needs 6 fleets…..

We currently have enough ships for
- Executor
- Ackbar rebels
- Negotiator
- Malevolence
- Empire
- Resistance
- FO

7 fleets. However those are not full fleets at all. Some with low reinforcements if any at all really. This is not a good idea by any means unless they plan to release some more ships. I don’t like this at all. Terrible move by CG

Think about it....
They did the cheesy galactic chase for 2 ships. They''ll release a few more by marquee or Grindquest. If it costs roughly $300 per ship to instantly get it to 7-star, just do the math...
Just 4 more ships x 300 = $1200 per player. If just the top 300, who's ego's are so big they can't bear the thought of dropping at all, each spend that $1200. That's an instant $360K. You KNOW more than 300 people buy all the latest, shiny trinkets, so....the rest up us suffer while they milk the krackens over and over again.

I face plenty of people in kyber 3 that only have five capital ships, good luck to them I guess.

This increase makes sense to me, we had a leak that came true that ended with another capital ship around the corner (Nihilus supposedly, but I can see that being changed)

If we are getting a new meta capital ship, I can see the need to increase to 3 defenses, and why they introduced two tanks for FO and Raddus to round those two fleets up
