Coin Flips?
Maybe someone can explain this to me like I'm a 3 y/o. How am I losing almost every coin flip when my speed and my opponent's speed are equal? I've been tracking every since CG made this change and I...

That's just how random chance works sometimes. Even if you only won the flip something like 6 out of 24 times, there's almost a 1% chance of that happening. So if 1,000 people did 24 battles since the change, 8 of them would be expected to have only gone first 6 of the 24 times.
If your sample size is small, it's not that unreasonable to see only a 25% success rate on the coin flip. As time goes on, you will probably see it stabilize closer to 50%.
You could also take a look at some of the alternative counters people have been experimenting with so you are not completely reliant on a single coin flip.
I understand how probability works but this seems fairly consistent. I'm wondering if there is some other factor that affects the coin flip like relic levels on ships or something.
It's just confirmation bias at work. Your sample size is still too small. That doesn't change anything about how awful it feels to lose the coin flip knowing you're either going to lose the battle or have to ride the struggle bus to a near time-out victory.
