Another GA matchmaking post
I know this has already been pointed out, but I wanted to further demonstrate why the matchmaking for GA is skewed against ship builders. Below is a screenshot and some stats from my current match: ...

He could, yes, and if he does, you would have been better off going full turtle yourself and then relying on clearing his fleet and holding your own fleet. That's the challenging aspect of strategizing in GA. Trying to predict your opponent's possible moves, and choosing the strategy with highest chance of success for yourself. No strategy guarantees a victory, however, and overwhelming force is always an advantage.
I feel that this statement just furthers my original point. I had a near flawless strategy and execution while only failing to beat 1 defensive team yet still lost. My opponent took far more attacks than I did to win the same number of fights implies that his strategy wasn’t as good as mine.
Again, I don’t mind a challenge, and I don’t mind losing a fair competition, but this just doesn’t feel like a fair competition.
An example of what I’m proposing is to use a weighted system on GP to matchmake. For instance, if ships are 25% of the maximum total points then 25% of ship GP should be added to 75% of toon GP to create my total GA GP.
Just for reference, I like the concept of GA. I just want an improved matchmaking system that isn’t skewed the way it is (I’m in no way advocating for the roster fluff people by the way).
