Horrible. 5 ships to 3 is HORRIBLE. Why are they always ruining the wheel. everything else good this bad. Devs gonna Dev and ruin ships now i guess it was inevitably going to happen.... sick

Why is it bad? It sounds like reinforcement abilities are going to be made more important, so why keep a setup where over half your ships don't get to use them?

The only bad thing I see about it is that the AI will probably totally screw up most of the times. It is exceptionally bad at handling reinforcements and now they will have much greater strategic significance.

Potentially yes, potentially no. The AI is so terrible on using ship abilities (i.e. scimitar), this very well may be the workaround needed to bypass the absolute **** we have right now.

Reinforcements are called in the order you add them... which means you can actually plan what the AI will do now.

If that stays the same priority, that will do nothing but kill mace as a capital ship, since you will not get his buff up to speed him up.

Eh, as someone who steadfastly and stubbornly uses Endurance, I don't think it'll be that bad. If they really are readjusting all the ships currently in the game, and include capital ships, then I think they'll rescale Endurance's speed to compensate for the reduced fleet size.

My honest to God real hope for Endurance is that they look at its Tactics and ask themselves, "Wait, why is it so high?" Tactics increase Endurance's Resistance (can't be attacked, so who cares) and Special Damage (all attacks are physical). Take a look at the stat distributions for Tarkin and Thrawn and the effect that has on their Physical and Special Damages, respectively, then look at Mace's stats. Why the hell is he getting split stat growth when he doesn't have split damage, but more importantly--WHY IS HIS UNUSED STAT SO MUCH HIGHER THAN HIS USED STAT?!?!

My point was not about his speed due to less ships, which is true, but that the ability prioritization may fall to reinforce vs use of his special that grants the buff. If they keep it the same, so less ships doesn't matter if they dont get the buffs right away.
