Lol so many whiners.
I'm in Chromium2 and I could fulfill these requirements.

Sure, they're not all r9 fleets, but its booring to only fight maxed out fleets. I'll happily take on a garbage 3rd fleet with my mediocre 6.

Good change! Increase the nr of fleet squads down the leagues too!

I'm in Chromium 2, I have 3M GP. I have very strong fleets and yet when I was promoted and needed another 2 fleets it was hell to get them together.

Are you one of those 5-6M accounts that are so terrible at playing, that they fall way below where they actually should be? Or are you one of those 5-6M accounts that love to sandbag because it makes them feel like they are so good at the game when they stomp on way smaller opponents?

If you are none of those, I don't see how you could fill 6 fleets with at least semi decent ships and pilots. What is your GP/swgoh.gg ?

And they wonder why people hate fleets, lol!

It seems obvious that fixing the problems with ships is the play, but nah.... Why not just force people to interact with the worst part of the game instead of making it fun...

I agree, fixing ships/fleets would be the way to go.

I have to admit here, that I am one of the minority who actually likes fleets, so I think it's kind of sad that fleets get neglected from CG. If it would get more attention and some nice modes, it could have a lot of potential and be fun.

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.

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 **** 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

This single post points out specifically why the vast majority of the community is against this change. You list Finalizer, Mal, Nego, Rebels, Raddus, Thrawn, and Exec. Thats 7 fleets; meaning if you drop 1 ship battle, you have 1 shot at a cleanup. If the clean-up fails, or you drop a second battle, you have no chance of clearing the ships zone because you will simply run out of ships. Not to mention the Raddus fleet isn't full, and you will basically need to underdog every fleet battle in order to have enough standard ships to even be able to utilize all 7 capital ships. Adding another capital ship tot he game solves nothing. Considering there aren't enough ships in the game currently for the 7 capital ships you mentioned above, adding another capital ship will just stretch fleets even thinner.

Can we maybe get advanced farming on ships as well, like we have with toons? Maybe another full week of all double-drops to give people a chance to get ships and their pilots to a usable level since we are basically going to need every single ship in the game to try and make this work?

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.

I sure hope it does ! Not improving the number of slots is a sure path to boredom imo. If you don't, sooner than later players will have 22 geared up meta teams, and the only variance would be 1 team every 3 months when a new meta team will replace an old one. More slots than I confortable with wil make farm choices more difficult and so, more fun imo. Just like this new fleet slot. I now wonder if I should use resources to gear the sister piloting the interceptor, which was a clear no before that.

Isn't it ovious that this change shall lead people to whale on executor and new ships to be able to stay in kyber? With no new GLs on the horizon they found out that there is still room for some ships.

About time we got more fleets in GAC! With the recent additions we have more than enough capitals and ships to set more defences. This will make the fleet zones more interesting.

9 capital ships + 47 ships = not enough ships. Where are the more than enough that you're referencing?

As everybody else. Kyber 1 hmmmmmmmmmmmm ok maybe (but much better off adding a 12th character team). However, in the lower Kybers............... this is going to be a real strain.

On that topic Chromiums or Bronziums need 2 capital ships right? That also seems a lot.

About 16 ships short there, boss.
