The issue is the lack of control in mirror battles. And with the prohibitive cost of gearin a toon which can be nerfed, no one has incentives to change.
Oh, come on... They rebalanced the most broken ships to be in line with the old ships that had been improved. What's the massively overpowered ship now? Biggs? Easy, there are lots of ships that deal with Biggs either as a starting lineup or from reinforcements.
Biggs is widely-used because he's basically Shoretrooper in squad arena, but once new ships come out that can taunt in a variety of ways he's going to be obsolete.
But more to the point "It's too expensive to gear a character that can be nerfed" is a silly reaction to all of this. Then why gear any character ever? You're basically saying that you won't gear anything going forward because they did one major shake-up of ships that were massively overpowered, because they might do it again in the future. It took FIFTEEN MONTHS to balance those ships. You think the next round is right around the corner?
By all means, hoard your resources for now. We don't know what's coming down the pipeline along with the PvE board. It could be a whole bunch of new ships that should have been released over the past--again--FIFTEEN MONTHS but were held back because fleet was broken and bad. Or it could be nothing, we won't know for another two weeks or so. (Not that I claim to know when it's coming--just that they said "later in June" and there isn't a whole lot more later left for June after two weeks.)
