Fleet colosseum

For me, fleet battles are one of the best bits of the game, and the space battles in the films are some of my favourite sections.

Ships currently feel like the poor relation with far fewer ships and the new era system feels very focused on squads. With conquest being the only other current option for new ships a fleets era is needed but feels very far away.

To make this slightly different to regular fleet battles I would suggest that we take in 5 ships, with RIs active (like for FO under Finalizer) with no capital ship. This would possibly open up more synergies outside factions as you wouldn’t need to tie to a capital ship. Enemies would be capital ships from outside the game currently, like the Sun-crusher, perhaps a world devastator or the Eclipse-class star destroyer, or any other (dreadnaught from TLJ, Nihilus ship from KOTOR). 

The JG ship would then be similar powered to Hans Millennium Falcon, and crewed by a JG character (maybe Luke’s X-wing piloted by CLS, or Rey’s X-wing piloted by JTR).

Obviously this won’t be everyone’s favourite idea, but I’d be interested to know what the real problems would be to implement.
