Emperor's Shuttle - a missed chance!
One would expect the Emperor's shuttle to be a little stronger than what it is and make the Empire and Sith at least more competitive against Falcon fleets, which in turn could bring more variety. Ins...

The Falcon is so OP that it destroyed the rock-paper-scissors element of ships!
Ships has never had a rock paper scissors layout.
At best you could use a different capital ship but still ~80% same ships.
They seem to be fleshing out ships a bit and we cant expect every ship to be "the ship" every time, we need the support and backup to come about.
When HT was meta, it was beatable by a variety of ships and fleets. The Falcon is so OP that the only viable way to beat it is by using another Falcon fleet!
A variety is a stretch, but yes there was more than mirror matches, but still many of the same ships in both teams.
Well at least it was something, unlike now!
I agree, but the point is that as they develop more ships not every ship is going to the key ship to change things. That doesnt mean they wont be useful later.
That's exactly the problem with the shuttle - why wait for future ships in order for it to become viable, instead of just making it's abilities more powerful? Is that so hard? We already have enough Empire/Sith ships to pair it with!
Because that would then limit future releases as they would have to dialed back to keep the balance.
But there is no balance!
So you would rather it just swing wildly back and forth every time a new ship is released?
Maybe they were trying to listen to complaints that people didnt like the HT/mace stall meta, and broke that up with HMF. Players then complain that there is nothing but, so rather than release another OP ship they release the building blocks to the next meta to allow a more balanced shift.
That meta was already laughably easy to break with the Sith fleet under Tarkin. I know because the super kracken on my shard had that maxed out fleet and I was smashing it with my maxed out Tarkin Sith. So I don’t think that was why as the fleet already existed. It didn’t need HT either btw.
Exactly. Even with all the people complaining about the whole Mace/HT thing good ship players could still easily beat them. The thing is good ship players are forced into all using Rebels now or they will lose.
The only way to win Ships atm is Rebels.
Before ships could be won with Geo's, Mace, Tarkin, Thrawn, Vader, biggs, BH's, everything.
Now Ships can't be won unless you have the latest toy?
They completely ruined ship diversity and completely ruined the arena with how powerful they made the Falcon.
The Shuttle should have come in and brought back what we used to have, it should have been a hard counter to Falcon, but still lost to Falcon when defending. Like we USED to have before Falcon.
There are already so many Empire and Sith ships. Why should we have to keep waiting for new ships that what, we will have to spend 300 dollars on to get them viable so we can have a fun ship arena again?
Because how dare they let us use the ships from the fleet store, or any store, right? I don't really understand why they have come in and ruined an entire aspect of their game. What we need now is actual ship content like a ship raid or a ship assault battle. Just.. something.
