Ship battles far too swingy

The big thing that swung this battle IMO was the loss of vader.
Vader tie will keep reappling target lock and then biggs keeps gaining taunt
Vader tie also reduces all the tenacity of the opponets making it easier to apply target lock.

This is the reason I focus on killing vader tie firs.

This is definitely true, but of course the reason my Vader got killed and his didn't (and vice versa in the second battle) is because RNG target locks caused Biggs taunts and dispellers are too late and there's no way to no mods for speed.

Maybe having my tie fighters up to snuff would help, but between Biggs himself, Vader and reinforcement Bistan I don't really have an issue applying target lock. My problem is with the swinginess.

I disagree that it's so pronounced in squad arenas. I absolutely sometimes have the feeling that I lost to bad RNG, or won due to good luck, but the battle is usually close, and it just happens to be fortuitous targeting or a lucky crit that swings a close battle one way or the other. Haven't seen squad arena go to flawless victory one way or the other due to RNG (unless you count rolling good mods as RNG too ;) )
