Ships 2.0 5/22/18 [Mega]

Let me start off by saying kudos on the QoL improvements. The raid participation enhancements, shop updates, etc. are all very welcome changes.

That said - and I'm sure a lot of effort went into this and I'm sorry for what I'm about to say, but what were you people thinking with that ship update?

You took the three worst parts of ship combat (TL RNG, TFP Dodge and Capital Ship Speed Advantage) and tripled down on them. Didn't get that opening TL? Before you might have been able to overcome it as damage was spread out - now, no chance. Your opponents TFP dodged once more than yours did - well that means his Thrawn's ultimate goes before yours - and that's the match.

The end product almost perfectly contradicts that articulate justification for making these changes.

Couple the gameplay failure that with the way it was deployed (during my PO hour, thanks very much) -without any ability to understand fleet mechanics in action and I'm looking around for the fire extinguisher to put out the dumpster fire that was fleet arena.

Thanks for ruining a part of the game I had finally gotten comfortable with after 18 months of playing. Between having to run 20 attempts to get a decent Heroic Sith run and this epic failure and the ensuing monotony of a Triumvirate dominated arena and Zzzzzz. Feels like a job again.
