If I can make a suggestion CG might (and should) actually do, it's this:

Keep all the current changes regarding ships EXCEPT the 3v3 for arena. I know they put a ton of work into this, rolling it back would be dumb and is unrealistic. BUT most people don't like the new arena. Can't hate the pve table as it's not replacing anything.

So the fix is this: Keep everything as it is now, but make Fleet Arena 5v5 again for now. Then do a Q&A on what people want changed or kept the same about ships. Keep most of the work for good, but scrap 3v3 IN ARENA and figure out with a Q&A what to do next.

actually a complete rollback would be easier and cleaner. the changes to ships were made to work with 3v3. clearly they missed the mark by a mile, but keeping the current mechanics with more ships would just lead to worse problems, and i'd imagine it would be harder technically to do that than a complete rollback.

It would be easier, but then they worked like 1.5 years on it for nothing. And they'd have to roll back pve tables too, all the new mats, New energy, etc.

Easier yes, better no. TF and Reaper needed a nerf anyway (I ran them, I know), now they've got it. Meta is up in the air atm too. Keep everything but add 5v5 to arena again

right, rollback or not, they have worked on it for 1.5 years for nothing because it's a complete disaster. rolling it back and releasing it as a finished product when it actually is a finished product, pve table and all, is a cleaner solution than keeping some pieces of the puzzle and removing others. those pieces were all meant to fit together, so take them all back and re-introduce them when they're actually ready.

this overhaul was completely unnecessary anyway. we needed tweaks, not dynamite.
