I currently steamroll thru a ship battle in 30 to 90 seconds on average, as do most in my shard. The new beta footage claims it’ll shorten our time spent on ships. However, that doesn’t seem to be the case in the footage, where each battle took 2-3 min to complete. It clearly appears it’ll lengthen the time for us top players. Am I missing something, or are us top players being punished?!https://s7.postimg.cc/q3mh2gw9n/AC1_C26_D9-105_A-450_A-_A789-_A44_A1_AEFAF75.pnghttps://s7.postimg.cc/pe3oq4ivf/C333_E691-8_BAF-47_EA-_A46_E-1_D4_CC952_CD28.png

I honestly think it’s too early to tell. I think the time commitment will be longer at the start with the new pve table, for sure. Beyond that, we just have to wait and see.

Also, what's with the click-baity title and wording?

lmao, another hilarious snakes post about top players.

I’m pretty interested in the new ship situation. Of course I’m worried that it’s upset my top ranking in Fleet, but this new method sounds like an actually different game mode. Right now, it’s like Arena with almost no options.

I am down for this. It includes the ship modifications which sound pretty good, the new table, which does not require cantina energy!, and the new PVE rules. It translates into TW as well which means you can have all 4 commanders in play now as well. I am down for putting a little more time into fleets PVE if the rewards get restructuring as well. Right now I am content to hang in the 40s while I finish off a few pilots.

3v3 to me sounds like RNG will play an even bigger role...

Battles will not be 3 v 3.

They will start at 3 v 3.

There's a difference.

Yes. If you read my post I explained that exactly. Namely that every capital would bring a reinforcement in first. Thanks for your contribution...

@Depablo very good point on why they might be reducing the timer. I hadn't thought of that!

A year ago the top 10 people in my ship shard had 5 maxed out ships.
6 months ago the top 50 people in my ship shard had 5 maxed out ships.
Today, the top 200 people in my ship shard have the exact same 5 maxed out ships.

There is no skill left in ships. Who wins comes down 100% to who gets the better RNG. All of the reward of having worked hard to get good ships has been stripped away.

I don't know what the solution is, but I know it isn't to reduce the number of ships needed to 3, so the top 2000 people have the same exact maxed out 3 ships.

almost all battles i've been involved in take 1 minute, 1:30 tops... one of the devs on Warrior's interview just stated most battles will now be around 3 minutes... so in essence, you're ADDING 2 minutes to a battle vs. removing 2.5.... geeeeeeeeee thanks. if timing is your intent, shorten to lag between battles to 5 minutes and save us all 1/2 hour at payout.

I would love to see the fleet you’ve assembled that is able to in 30 seconds take out the opposing fleet. Or are you one of the top 3 mafia that just rotated turns so you are only facing a single fighter and Capital Ship at payout time?

:D

I love when newer players who have been playing less than a year try to make sarcastic posts about veteran players who have played for 2+ years....and they clearly have no idea what they are talking about.

I just started hitting top 10 this week with a team of power 120k, which can beat teams of power 170k, and I gotta say, I don't take that long at all in my fights even at my level.

Essentially to me it sucks that ship battles will now take longer to complete, I was already beating them fast enough beforehand, no idea why they decided to "improve" ship battle time by making it take longer.

If you are winning your battles in 60 seconds, the battle isn’t interesting. I’d be happy to suck up 2-3 minute battles if the strategy is interesting

What strategy are you talking about? The mechanics of the game are such that at the end of the day, RNG prevails.

You can have the best strategy, if your opponent has twice the damage output that you have, because of "bad RNG", there is little strategy can do.

I won't pay attention to ships until Han Solo is associated with the MF.
