Ships Mantra “From bad to worse”

Ok so yes I’m not winning at ships at all AGAIN so it’s annoying. Call it sour grapes or whatever but when I can’t even dent a 5* Negotiator fleet at around ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND less in power than my squad, that is just stooopid.

So we go from everyone having HMF and EXACTLY THE SAME squad to everyone have The Negotiator and THE SAME SQUAD cause the brainiacs at CG can’t figure out how to make a balanced meta with at least 2 teams that can beat each other evenly with the player’s choice mattering.

Ok so I’ll continue to research how to beat GK NOT with just another GK fleet and all the sheeple can thank me later for bringing a bit of variety to their ship shard.

I just can’t wait til Malevolence comes out and then GK can’t even dent that or maybe it will be time to quit this game that is becoming more and more about making money by forcing people into single team metas rather than creating interesting game play and making. money by having a good game.

    If you can't beat GK fleets with the old Home One/Falcon team then you need to gear your pilots more. With a fast Bistan its really easy to climb as you can take out Anakin fast and then work through the rest of the fleet.

    Having a full rebel front (Bistan/Falcon/Biggs) with Sun Fac/Phantom/Ghost/Cassian you have enough survival and damage to counter their fleets. It may not hold as well on defense compared to the Negotiator but it can still climb, even against reliced fleets


    You are missing the point! The point is to have two or more balanced fleets with each having a 50/50 chance at countering the other, NOT a 70/30 or 80/20 chance like now, because that's hardly a meta variety. CG just have a hard time understanding this.


    maybe you are missing the point


    How am i missing the point when currently there is no variety in the meta?


    Who are we to say there's supposed to be?

    Well it's simple - if CG want more players actively playing ships then they'll make sure the meta is diverse, because the current state of ships simply won't do it.

    Handing people first place fleets without ever side investing in ships while CG hands them god fleets for free is pretty trash tho
  • Yes I have heard the same elsewhere. Neg and Mal seem to be pretty evenly matched and it seems the old h.m.f. line ups can still climb too. I'm still running Chim with a bunch of maxed out ships and can break into the top 10 occassionally. Still hoarding my currency so no Neg or Mal for me yet! Lol!

    ↑ This. If you have a relic Anakin, I'd add his ship to the lineup in place of Ghost. I often use him as my first and only reinforcement since he can he decide the battle with a single AOE. Only if Biggs is in a bad shape I call in Phantom first to get some target locks.
