I really enjoy ships as they are now, except of course I wish there were more ships, allowing for more diversity in arena. The reinforcement abilities is interesting, but I wonder how the IA will handle it... I fear it will only give an easier time to the human player, and with 3vs3 at start, it would hinder far more the capacity of winning defensive fights.
My fear is that these changes will allow people who didn't invest much in ships to compete with top ship squads... It took a lot of investment (gears, materials, choice of farming) to get to the top, and if the new meta only consists of 3 + 5 reinforcement ships with everyone dropping like crazy because no matter your ship squad, anyone can very easily beat you on offense, it will be disappointed... So i hope the ships 2.0 will avoid these issues!
I also fear that 3vs3 will make capital ships irrelevant as mostly one will just reinforced when it's the turn of a capital ship instead of using other abilities...
On the other hand, really looking for the ship table and PvE addition as I love playing with my ships! I wish it could stay 5vs5 at start, with maybe an added spot to bring a 6th ship immediately in battle (in character battles, we can get 6 characters, our squad of 5 + an borrowed char from an ally).
About length of ship fight, I really have no issue with them currently... Can finish most fight in less than 2 minutes if I want and I'm in a very old shard (november or december 2015, not sure when it started exactly). So I don't see the argument of saying "3vs3 will reduce the time-consumption"
Answer when the update drops! But I wish a lot if was more ships/capital ship released (making us chose which ships we want to farm and try among the new released ones) and these new hardware abilities (or reinforcement abilities) instead of going 3vs3
