This amuses me because I disagree with all 3 of your points of strategy

Being married, I am only right about 3-5% of the time. The odds are in your favor.

Oh for god sake, stop being old grannies and complaining about the new interwebs and that you can't pay your bills over the phone any more.

Everyone whinges that ships sucks and its boring, CG decides to do something about it and you're still moaning, they just can't win

I finish ships at no1 every day. Boring bring on change I say tally ho! ( yep I have a geared fleet as well but so what) we need change. meta here has been same for last 6 months no matter what new ships came in so there is something totally wrong with this format might as well sim the ship arena as everyone can beat everyone save unlucky rng. We all use the same tactics as it works.

Agreed - much better to whine about people whining!

Can I just vote for ships 3.0 now?

Maybe play 2.0 a few times first?

Ships 3.0 will be the Rollback of Ships 2.0 back to ships 1.0 along with Chewy shards given out and a gaggle of youtube videos.

IIRC a 3* Reaper, presumably also with low gear pilots, will die if you accidentally look at it wrong.

Even if your Biggs gets his taunt up right away it just takes a single AOE to take it down.

What's the health + prot on yours?

I have not bothered to level it to full potential yet. I will PM you stats at end of the week once I do. Thanks

I started using Reaper in my lineup when it was 5*, though my Shore/DT were already g11 and I think DT might have been 6* (now Reaper is close to 7* and I've got both 7* g11 pilots on the verge of g12). It's definitely a must-have in elder servers, and it's generally the reason that battles can be won in a minute or less. If the enemy cap ship can't takes a turn until it's too late and yours can, you can get offense up and pick the fleet off without much trouble. I've lost battles in less than 30s when the AI guy lucky when the opposing fleet had a reaper, and done the same when I've gotten lucky shots in. It's about as important as Biggs in the current meta right now. I suspect by the time I get the last two dozen shards to take it to 7*, Ships 2.0 will be out :)

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

I'd put my bets in for this!

All we asked for was more content, not a complete redesign :D Why not give us the more ships, more capital ships and the pve table, and leave everything else as is <3
