Added fleet to kyber GAC...

To the people who are including the Executor when talking about the number of fleets, I'd just like to remind you that not everyone in kyber has it

Personally, I don't have a problem with another fleet being required. But this does set a precedent for ever expanding requirements for GAC defence placements overall, which is a bit concerning.

That increases the likelihood of stagnation for players in lower leagues/divisions, with lower rewards.

Right now there is a path to kyber for a new player. It's a very long and hard path to be sure, or a massively expensive one, but there is a path. Focus farm about 18 squads, trying your best to first get the squads with longevity (which is pure guess work really). While doing that also get the 4ish new squads which are (power creep, so better) going to be released while you do this farming. After about 3 years (or faster for a big spender) you'll have 22 squads for the kyber league.

But, if they just keep adding more and more squads to the defence for each league, then the long farm will get you no where. Also playing GAC will be a major time suck.

Maybe this doesn't signal more and more teams for every aspect of GAC. I sure hope it doesn't.

Maybe they should not be the ones in kyber then?

I'm in kyber 3 and in my brackets I see one, sometimes two executors, and I'm guessing that they are even rarer in kyber 4 and 5

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.

I agree that is what should happen but by making the changes now it guarentees more people whaling on future ships. They don't care about the community and was is right for the game. It is just what can we do to Milk the most $$ out of the users.

I like ships. Which is why this change actually angers me. We need more ships. It's literally the easiest thing in the world to put into the game. George Lucas and LucasArts have TONS of ship designs that we still don't have in the game. Making this change BEFORE adding key ships, like Red 5 for example, is completely backwards. 16 ships shy of full fleets. You're 1) encouraging posting less than full fleets on defense and 2) limiting us to 1 mistake in fleets with a crappy cleanup crew of ships that don't go together......that's ridiculous.

Regarding "full fleets", just cuz you CAN have 4 reinforcements doesn't mean you HAVE TO have 4 reinforcements.

Wait, to be at the top of the heap you need to have the newest toons and a deep roster of ships too? What is gaming coming to??!?

CG,

Tell us you hate us without telling us you hate us

I’d be more comfortable with one more Cap Ship (probably Sith/Ravager).

We would need a lot more normal Ships to fill them out though. We need what, 2 Resistance, 2 FO, 2-3 Sith, maybe 2 Seps? Maaaaaybe 1 more BH?

But at this point a Sith fleet would be great. There’s enough Sith+Empire units out there that a filled out Sith fleet can mix with Empire to form Executrix + Chimaera fleets even if you don’t get the Ravager.

Adding another capital ship is not the answer because they would just robe ships from another fleet. Take Sith you would take Vader, Palps and TIE Interceptor from Empire. Now your empire is useless with only 4 ships.
