Ship battle in Grand arena isn't "working"

I don't agree.

The reason this is called Ship & Characters fight, its because we (supposed) in grand arena to have also Spaceship fights, something we dont see.

The ship fight should and must be Mandatory. For all. Otherwise, its just a character fight in Grand arena with no difference.

And please tell me, how many people do have the negotiator? In my server which i m first, i have seen not even one. Its a very rare capital ship but even though, its not unbeatable. The majority of the players have Home one, Chimeara, or Executrix.

Developers: Please fix this. Make mandatory ship fights and put them in first line, otherwise the so called ship fight in Grand arena is a complete failure.

again, its a minority. I have seen only 2 players have the negotiator. Apart from that, its not unbeatable.
I prefer to give a fight vs a negotiator which the average player dont have it, rather than to not give a ship battle at all.

Well I've seen about 100, so on average we've seen 51?

There are no character teams that are unbeatable either, so I don't see how that helps your point.

Liath ,

You are either a local troller, or a selfish and you don't want to admit what is more than obvious. And you speak lies. I have in my server very powerful opponents, not even one has the negotiator.
In all cases, i wont follow you from now on cause your"game"will not work on me.

I dont pick up fights with trollers, hiding behind their keyboard. I m not here for this.
I m one of the most famous players in Europe in WOT, named Greek_Jedi_Knight, field commander, with 96.000 battles (each battle =15 minutes) . I had a long career in forums, so i know how to avoid people like you.

The reason the Arena has the mark with starships is because we should and must make a battle with starships.

When the road to this is blocked, the Arena including spaceships fails in this purpose. Not all people have Revan, or Darth Revan, or anything else. Yes they are not unbeatable, but here this is not the point.

We suppose to enjoy the PVP Arena in ships as well and we don't see that; instead we see AGAIN battle only with characters, and the ships are on the back, instead of being in first line and give us the pleasure with starfights battles as they should.

Please developers, fix this and put the ships in the first line to give the importance they deserve.

Cheers.

Too bad, that you don't know how to avoid being wrong:

I will say that the Negotiator is more prolific in many cases than apparent than @Greek_Jedi_Knight is seeing. My GAC round this time has 7 of the 8 players with Negotiator, 6 of them at 6 star. My personal shard has Negotiators well below rank 50, and currently we usually have 40-42 in the top 50, with the remainder being Home One fleets (and several players who alternate between Negotiator and Home one), and a cursory inspection of the fleet Meta report on swgoh.gg (link here)

https://swgoh.gg/stats/fleet-meta-report/

Shows that 58% of #1 fleets are now Negotiator, so the evidence is more than anecdotal.

In regards to the GAC map layout, remember that this is but one of several map layouts that we have seen before in early GA’s, this one is (perhaps by design) weighted slightly more towards characters than ships by having the fleet node in the back. There is also a map that has only 2 territories. One with a fleet, and one with all the character slots $ that is much more of a play orientated map, as there is no concealment strategy at all, simply who can be the most efficient attacker. There is no reason to assume that we won’t be seeing this map in a future GAC, as we know that they plan to continue to alternate playing styles (they have also declared the intent to re-introduce the 3v3 format, so it is reasonable to assume the map formats will alternate as well.

Ships will have their moment to shine as well, we must but be patient.

I will say that this is a better approach, although i dont agree.

1.
in my server, i m saying again, with players up to 2,5M galactic power, none has the negotiator.
I wish i could upload photos or a video, but i dont think this option is available here.
The reason i m first on my server and what gave me the title of field commander in WOT and here, in ships, with 2400 fleet victories, is because i use a totally different deck, which i havent seen none again like mine: Poe, Landos Flacon, And Resistance X wing.
The vast majority of players use this as a ship deck:
Solo's falcon, Hounds Tooth, and Biggs.
No innovation. No imagination. No tactics.
Copy paste recipe from others.

2.
The GA with ships on the back is not "slightly" towards characters but "heavily" towards characters, i explained above why;
Cause the ship is in the back, thus blocked, and cause there could be option for 2nd fleet slot and there isn't.

Ending, i was one of the best players in game: Star wars Force collection, and all players from this game after they stopped services, came here.

It was a big disappointment for me that this game although popular, the ships are in shade.
In Force Collection, there was even guild fights with characters and ships. We could use A,B,Y,X, wing, TIE bomber, interceptor, almost 60 vehicles and ships in total which we could widely use em. Even in guild wars.
I m very sad that this game is not evolving with the way i hoped, and for things that should be done without saying such as the ship slots in GA and AGAIN characters is the strongest point. If this continues, i ll leave this game as well for good.
We still dont have Resistance flagship; first order Flagship.

Lol. You do realize that 2.5m GP isn’t even really end game.... right?

And it hasn't to be end game. The backbone of the players are not super powered or full end up. They are average, like me.
Saying again and last time cause i dont like repeat myself:
Since we have a mixed battle (ships & characters) both kinds should be mandatory, and in first line.
And may the best win.

It does when you’re claiming to be on a strong shard and accusing me of lying when I point out my different experience which is apparently due to you not actually being an end game player. ::eyeroll::
