Can someone please summarize the ship video?

People need to relax. Seems that those who sit at the top are complaining because they like there easy crystals. I've gotten first in my fleet since it opened and think the change could be good. If fleet becomes more interesting to the player base they will do more with fleet. Like a raid or more ships. People need to realize everything CG does isn't specifically for them. They have a large varied player base that they need to cover. Yes they screw up but they still have a game a ton of people play. Yes they have to cater a little more to those who spend or do things that get people to spend. But that's how everyone has a game in the first place and you don't have to pay anything if you don't want. Money in this game just saves time. Everyone is eventually able to get everything out there. Nobody is forced to be here. Unhappy with everything they do go find a game that is perfect and let the rest of us know.

But give them some credit as they are actually trying to have better communication. Like a previous post said this isn't the official release they are giving us a heads up. You know better communication and maybe some advanced warning that people were complaining about.

This is a resource management game (both $$ and efforts in-game). If you ignore a part you will miss something eventually.

CG, why are you making the same mistakes youve done with the sith raid reward changes? Why do you keep trying to change something that isnt broken? Why not do what we want instead, like mod management, sith raid nihilus protection regen change etc. Stop destroying the part of the game that works well!

I get that you like ships but it is not something most players like and do the bare minimum of. They are trying to do something to get more player involvement. So they are doing something that most people want. Fix a part of the game most don't like. This is coming from someone who likes Fleet and takes 1st daily. I think it will be a good thing for the game and make a part of it more interesting. And yes now I have to spend a little more time on it but I'm okay with that.

Yes mod management could use some help. The reason why they haven't is they don't want people to use the same 5 mod sets for everything they do. Which I can understand. This is a resource management game. Everyone needs mods and that's a part of it. Using the same mods for everything takes away from the game. Sith Raid doesn't need any changing either. Guilds of 114 million are beating heroic. It's not suppose to be easy and there are plenty of teams out there that can handle DN protection regen.

They are working on the game but they shouldn't make it easy.

Those videos are annoying!!!
I read the text. In summary, if you spilled resources into ships and pilots, a fool you are now. Just like me.

I do.

It doesn't work well. I finish first every day and it would benefit me personally to keep it the same, but if you don't think ships are stale, with the same meta fleet in any shard that isn't brand new, then you either aren't paying attention or you're in one of those new shards.

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.

The problem is that different situations call for different reinforcements, which will be even more pronounced with the new abilities, so pre-set order can only get you so far. Hope that the AI gets a significant upgrade as well.

They did mention in the video that the AI would get an upgrade to make better asessments of the situation when chosing reinforcements.

1. I'm not watching a youtube video that can be summed up in a few bullet points.

2. The squatters in ship arena ranks 1-20 must be nervous

I worked harder on my ships then everyone in my shard below 20. And I've spent like $20. How does that make me a squatter?

Cubs fan Han is annoying. I won't watch that guy.

The other two are just as annoying. 5 seconds of ahnolds voice and demeanor is all i can handle before i want to rip my eyes and ears apart
