3) Why has a really hard farmable ship to be nerfed? That is somehow a slap in our face. It take me half a year to get the TIE-Reaper to 7*, and the pilots are eating that much carbantis. Every other ship (except KRCS and TIE-S) are in the shops avaiable and get enhanced. Were there no possible other solution to get a balanced (maxed out) ship battle?
Being practical here, but I really don’t think there was another option. In 1.0 you had two ships that were enormous outliers in the range of power. You had TIE with its enormous dodge at high gear, and you had TIE Reaper with its control. You also had a lot of ships that just didn’t do anything. How do you solve that problem?
A lot of folks are quick to say “Add a bunch of new ships!” Okay, so people who pay through the nose can get in on the new meta and then a couple months down the line folks like us can start farming and eventually compete again? That’s an awful solution.
Raise all the old ships to the level of those two? There’s 30 ships—some need a little work, some need a lot—that’s not possible. Moreover, having two broken ships become the new baseline simply means everything becomes chaos. You think randomness is bad now? Imagine if every ship had to be as good as the old TIE.
Drop those two ships to the level of the existing ships? That’s horrificially unfair. It’s more realistic an option than the others so far, but still bad.
The solution they went for was to create a new baseline and bring everything up to it, then take the two outliers and bring them down to meet it. It’s the only realistic option with the least downside.
However, I do not want to gear up that dam ned geonosians.
I hate this line of reasoning. With territory battles, territory wars, raids, and faction-specific events
every character is useful in multiple areas. More importantly, if you’re saying “they’re useless elsewhere” then you’re saying Fleet rewards are useless. If that’s how you feel, then why are you so mad fleet changed at all?
