Virtually all of the top 50 in ranked are now the same carbon copy revan teams.

Same with ships, you either have the falcon or you don’t, there’s no in between.

And within the "have the Falcon" tier, there is another layer, which is "you either sunk a massive amount of resources into Bistan and SRP to make Bistan's ship really fast, or you didn't."

Getting your own Falcon destroyed before you get your first turn is pretty cool, let me tell you.

I have to say, I've been a pretty staunch defender of the ship portion of the game, but the Falcon really has made it very dull and frustrating. Before I could win almost all the time against an even or slightly-superior opponent if I played my cards right. Now it basically comes down to whose team calls a more ludicrous number of assists.

Bistan isnt the be all and end all, but it does put the odds in your favour. You do have to analyze the speeds though:

Falc faster than bistan- use HT falc biggs
Falc slower than bistan- use SF falc biggs

Tried and tested for both, generally a 2 in 3 chance of winning as far as i've experienced.

But yea, diversity is gone. SA is ridiculous with revans all the way down into the 100s
