No question that the new fleet arena is horrible. I was really looking forward to a shake-up, but immediately you find that Vader's ship + Biggs + 1 is the winning starting lineup. Every. Single. Team. Is. The. Same.

Actually, this is incorrect.

If you read the announcements they stated that they want to give ships 2.0 a more paper-rock-scissor meta instead of the paper-paper-faster paper meta 1.0 had. If you think Biggs + TIE Advance + 1 other is the be-all, end-all, then you're thinking in checkers when you should be thinking in chess. There's a lot more AoE and assists than before. That's the rock and the scissors added.

AoE > Taunts > Assists > AoE.
