How does Ship GP affect GAC Matchmaking?

I sincerely doubt Ships GP comes into the matchmaking equation at all. As someone who spent a lot of time in small guilds before making the jump into a larger one, I ran into 7* Negotiators and Malevolences (both from single opponent) when I only had a 5* Negotiator.

I could be wrong so take my opinion with a grain of salt but facing the huge disparity in ships has cost me a lot of GAC wins due to staying with friends in a smaller guild for as long as I did.

If it does play, I doubt it does play seperately but rather as a sum of top x+ship top x.

Very well could be, but my top 80 normally matches and ships do not. I am still working on finishing Malevolence and see the discrepancies (maxed Raddus & Finalizers in addition from opponents) in fleet quite often. If it were the case to take top x characters + top x ships I should have a huge character advantage over my opponents (especially due to the ship vs character GP difference), but I do not. Relics typically match, but I am normally behind my opponent in G12.

The character side is fair matches for me and I am catching up in fleet. This has been the case for me since Div 2 and the addition of the 2nd defensive fleet while I was still in that division. Again, this is purely anecdotal evidence from my experience. I admit I could be wrong, but I do not think I am.
