The new system sucks. Much more RNG now. It isn't really funny to play.
Just sayin'

Everyone is saying "Much more RNG now" but not actually explaining what that means or giving any examples. It's at risk of becoming a meaningless excuse.

The folks who HAVE given examples cite TFP, which actually had its dodge reduced, which makes it LESS random compared to ships 1.0.

FOTP double tap, dodges, target lock (by FOTP or TFP), crits, etc.

And with fewer ships and thus fewer opportunities for players to mitigate bad RNG means that RNG has more of an effect on the outcome, not less. Your math is backwards.
