I can't remember an update that where the majority of players hated something so bad as much as this update with the ship.

You've already forgotten the new raid?

I just recently got to the top of my fleet got top 20payout twice and then boom, ships 2.0
Now I wake up and I am at 120
I invested crystals gear and even Zetas into the originally good ships, like reaper, tfp and fotp who are now awful
I don’t think that you should be able to nerf ships which I have invested so much into as it has basically all been a waste because i solely developed them for ships, making other ships better is fine but nerfing the once good ships not only with stats but even abilities such as reaper unique is outrageous and in my opinion unjustifiable
Please read this and consider deeply what you have done to the game. And trust me I am not alone in hating the new ships

Respectfully, I'm guessing the CG staff don't sit round the boardroom saying, "Hmmm, we can't do that...y'see Alliance Member has invested a lot into those ships!"

Don't take it personally - the game is dynamic and changes...sometimes those changes help you, other times they hinder you. And when they're hindering you, they'll be helping others...and when helping you, they'll be hindering others...

It's a game - play, develop, change, think, calculate, devise your way round problems. That's the point.

Did you notice how many forum members liked your post ? :D

Seriously though, “sometimes the changes help you, sometimes they hinder you”

That’s not an answer to what’s been done it ships, thanks for explaining things for us simpletons though.

The changes to ships helped nobody but the biggest of whales in the game, the players that were growing their teams to try and catch up to the top of the leaderboards, by gearing up Reaper and TF etc now have to put those ships in the bin and start on another set of ships before they are done.

The ones with a meta team already completed now have to build another, who benefits from the change exactly ? ...I wonder ..

“It's a game - play, develop, change, think, calculate, devise your way round problems. That's the point.”

It’s a business, that was made very clear to everyone for a long time now I think.

I would not mind to see borg cubes entering battlefield...it cant be any worse anyway....

Fully agree on the title! Winning in ships 2.0 depends on RNG only (e.g. the nerf of the TIE is awful).
I also don't understand, why CG just did not bring few more ships. NS, JtR, and EP & Vader update really worked changing the meta.

I hate the new ships update. Previously I was able to maintain global score of 130-120 rank. Now? I can barely scrape a win, and that is ONLY if my capital ship timing is just right, otherwise? Lose, lose, lose, lose, lose, lose. I have no choice in challenges anymore, I cannot win any of the combats I haven't 3-starred previously. Ship battles is literally dead for me, and I played this game for TWO MONTHS just to get TO SPACESHIP BATTLES! God! I don't think it's possible to screw over casual players *more* than they did with this update (but don't quote me on that, I'm sure they'll come up with *something* after driving us away)

Thanks for the support everyone, just like to add I made it up to 50 yesterday and in the morning I woke up at 240, I mean, wtf

The biggest thing they needed to do in ships 2.0 was make another tank viable other than Biggs in ANY combo, but they didn't. The republic tanks still only work in republic settings whereas Biggs can go in any fleet because TL is key to most fleets.

That along with the nerfed DPS it just makes his protection recovery that much better. I'm all for making more ships viable and more fleet combinations viable, but that's really hard to do when theres really only one tank that can fit into any fleet.

I think they really missed the mark on the updates to the ships, the reinforcement bonus updates are actually pretty interesting, and I think they did well with those, but overall they just made ship battles more RNG based, longer and more frustrating.
