Shards - unfair advantage through ships?
One obvious addition from the recent update is that we can now see the fleets of allies, shards members, etc. From memory, on the launch of ships people were supposedly divided equally into shards based on when players started the game - so all seems fair at this point...
Needless to say I am on the ship shard of doom where I oscillate between about 50 and 20 with maxed out ships (top spots are dominated with guys with 7* Tie Advanced / Reapers etc.). This wouldn't be an issue if everyone on my shard was placed on either the same shard or a shard of equivalent difficulty. However, looking over my character shard reveals a dramatic imbalance between those who seem to be on tough shards and those ranking top five with level 70, 5* ships.
As the game progresses, the differences in ship currency will start to make a material difference given their ability to harvest zetas more quickly (5-7 guaranteed additional mats per month). Appreciate it's not the end of the world but it's quite depressing seeing guildmates who have been playing eight months longer than me posting screenshots of their top ten which feature fleets materially weaker than anything in my top 50...
Not sure why they didn't just lump shards together to provide a fairer playing field.
Apologies for the moan - otherwise I thought the recent update was great.
