New Fleet Arena Payout Scale

Now it has been several month since the addition of crystals in fleet arena rewards. It is now run like the regular arena. Those in top 20 all decide the winner pre the payout schedule. But they are all whales. And now the whales have turned the pods to fleet arena. I have a strong fleet for f2p but when I get the off chance to rank in the top 20 (only 3 time mind you since the intro) I am swiftly shot down to under the rank of top 50 for my violation into the money. Adding crystals has ruined the f2p aspect of fleet. When it was no crystals it was a great opportunity for f2p to earn the currency and get gear and shards for much needed characters to be competitive on the lower 100 on squad arena. So in short extend the reward at least to top 100 in fleet honestly I have lost interest in the fleet arena now that it is now a mafia like squad arena.

Same here. As a now f2p, I have hit top 20 only 3 times since crystals have been introduced. And I've had 7* Executrix for several weeks.

Somehow they have managed to take a game mode that was only marginally playable as it was and make it even less enjoyable.

I actually enjoyed ships when it was first released, but they have done basically nothing to improve it in a year. The only additional ships are locked behind a paywall. The Thrawn Capital ship event hasn't been repeated and the "whales only" top-heavy crystal pay out structure have made it a bore. I honestly don't understand why you would release a game mode only to let it die on the vine and then sabotage it with a poor payout structure.

Hey, but ship hardware is coming "soon". :)
