Added fleet to kyber GAC...

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

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.

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

For the moment, I doubt that full clears will be very common with this change. So a person with 5 fleets won't be guaranteed to drop out of kyber. But it will certainly hurt them to continue to neglect fleets.

The problem isn't captial ships though the problem is we literally can't even come close to filling the fleets we do have. I say this as someone with an account with all ships except the 3 new ones at 7 star I feel incredibly squished for fleets even thinking about it.

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

Those two tanks still don't fill out the FO and Resistance fleet. There is a tremendous lack of available ships.

If we were actually getting that capital ship and another dozen ships to support that and what we have right away, then I can see them increasing it in a few seasons. But starting with next season with what we currently have seems absurd.

But but but CG listens to its players, they said.

Just another unfriendly player move in a long series.

At least tell us the plans for ships. We getting any more?

A new capital ship would only replace an older capital ship. It won't give us a new fleet.

I don’t like this change BUT I think we can?
Defence
1) Rebels - full fleet (I don’t feel stupid relic’ing SRP now ?)
2) Empire - full fleet
3) Negotiator - full fleet
Attack
1) Executor - 5 BH ships….this is enough to win/mirror
2) Malevolence
3) Finalizer

Clean up - Raddus (no way near enough ships)

Finalizer is it’s own offensive fleet

Male, Nego, Rebels are also full fleets

You have raddus too and an thrawn led fleet too

It also raises importance on getting the SS ship that everyone was saying is passable

We have 3 for offense and defense but little to no room for error depending on how you set defenses

Dislike!
