what does even mean? you are upset that a new ship replaces HT in that lineup so it can be used eleswhere, and that somehow devalues past effort, or something? so confused

rtt: sweet, another pilotless ship!

Yours is a false interpretation about what I said.

I didn't say I was upset that a new ship replaces HT. If you disagree, re-read what I wrote. I'm not sure how you came to that conclusion, since I didn't mention HT in my post, nor did I even allude to it. Unless you think that my point about relic'd pilots was a specific allusion to HT. For the record, my point about pilot relics was not at all in reference to HT.

So let me set that record straight. I'm happy this ship adds more ability for people to a) use their rebels again and b) replace HT. Hope that's black and white enough for you.

What is devalued (as I already pointed out, and as people familiar with economics and returns on investment will easily recognize) is the effort we already spent on high-geared pilots. CG seems to be going down a path of releasing ONLY pilotless ships moving forward. Which does, in point of fact, reduce the amount of time and resources players must spend to make their fleets useful - on average.

For those of us who have already done this with existing fleets and pilots, CG releasing pilotless ships reduces the average value (i.e., time and resources invested) to make fleets valuable and usable in arenas and elsewhere.

Thanks for giving me a chance to clarify that I was not, in fact, talking at all about HT.

I brought up HT bc this ship replaces HT. You are happy about that. got it. What I don't get is how releasing ships without pilots devalues past investment in pilots and their ships. new ships don't affect your investment and it doesn't matter that they are pilotless. for ex., if you and player x both get this new ship and max it, you will have it plus your previously invested ships, so you will both still be where you started in terms of you being ahead. it's a non-issue imo. they have a tank for rebs, but you have a tank for rebs plus can use your better-than-their HT elsewhere.

My irritation with it is that we already have ships with pilots that suck. Why add a new ship when they can rework Biggs to make him a better tank? Why not rework Wedge? He is a pilot with a ship that no one uses anymore. Given their ships some synergy like the toons do in the game. Yes, a pilotless ship is better than having a new ship and a new pilot, but there are so many outdated toons that can use a revamp.
