Since ships introduction, it has hit me with waves of excitement and then hmm not so much. Back and forthAt the moment I am excited, but wanted to get thoughts if there was a meta or close to one. I get that ships AI does not hold rank in Defense but there are some ships/teams better than others.I run AA - Biggs (standard), boba, Rex, Ashoka, Poe with DM, JC and wedge as back ups.Average around rank 20 with all ships max, Ashoka and Poe only g10.Working on CS to replace ... well boba is my only thought. Also long term Mace to replace AA?

Mace can be pretty good on defense just cause they aren't a whole lot of good dispellers in ships. He can be fun to play with on offense with the target lock synergy too

My Arena team is full geared/starred clones, so made my choice of republic very easy.I run Mace --> Fives, JC, Ahsoka, Clone Sgt and Rex, with Plo Koon, Biggs and Resistance in reserbve. all apart from Rex are 7 star ships (12 more shards for Rex!) and all at level 85 with all abilities maxed out.I take 1-3 every day, 1st depends if I am around to play at payout.Usually only drop down to 5-10 overnight so generally do 2 ship battles a day, quite often on auto!Edit, Maximising Fleet ranking should be a top priority for all, the 1600-1800 Fleet Arena tokens I get each day, (plus the ones for challenges) let me buy 15 stun cuff salvages a day, which along with farming in LSB's allows me to craft on Mk3 Czerka stun cuff every two days...

Figure I might have to start doing more than two battles a day once people play catchup. Should have most of the stun cuffs I currently need in the next month, then I can switch to Zeta and or gearing up other ships I can so can start to switch configurations once people have caught me up.

A Ships meta... hard to say, it's just those three capital ships but it's great to see that people can compete with any one of them, there's no one dominant capital ship/fleet... I was previously the only Executrix in the top 5 (158k power here but there's some 170k fleets on my shard, it's insanity, but I can beat them on offense.) The Mace-led fleets used to seem impossible to beat (another reason why they hold rank, people like me saw Mace and we're like lemme see if I can find an AA team instead -- they're just an easier battle) but I have been able to overcome the end-game Mace teams when I need to.

Biggs is the fleet meta. I don't think there's any team that doesn't use Biggs as tank.And Scimitar as reinforcement. The one-two punch between Biggs tanking and then finally taking him out, and then Maul throwing retribution on either Wedge or Tie Fighter is generally battle winning. The rest is just mop up.

G11 has crew ability ranks too, doesn't it? Now that people have their first omega upgrades.

I'm not that sure about the G10/G11 difference but I think it even made a difference in terms of speed (5ish) contributed by the crew. And speed.. is speed.

Huh? Where do you get omegas?

They aren't omegas. They just use prestige for the final upgrade. I have a couple ships with a level 7 crew abilities and ship basic.

No. G11 crew ability upgrades require ship omegas. Prestige is for the capital ships. Both yellow, but different stuff.

@QuasarIngwer48 wow yeah. Just saw they're in the Gauntlet pack. Suddenly that might be worth € 10...

However, the cutting point is fleet power (especially the power in your first 5 ships). If the power gap between you and your target is bigger than 5k, they're usually near impossible to beat.

Not true, while I was still building up my squad I was able to beat some teams with even 10k more power.

I'm sitting around rank 100 in my fleet leaderboard, and I can usually beat teams with 20-30k higher power. Power is just a garbage stat amongst all levels of gameplay.

Yep composition/synergy > power lvl
But tbh, you almost never see a fleet with less than 150k power in top10.

I finish in the top 3 everyday, #1 if I have time to snipe, and I run a Mace lead with Biggs, Boba, JC, Ahsoka and TFP (DM, Kylo, Wedge as backup).

However, now that I finally have Vader unlocked and ready to go at level 84 he'll get a spot in my lineup from now on. I expect it'll be even harder for my opponents to beat me, but we'll see, only time will tell.

I run Vader, Biggs, SF, FOTP, TFP with 5s, Poe, and GS in reserve. All maxed. There is no team on my shard I can't beat and I take 1st everyday for since ships started. I now have all 3 capital ships maxed and I can beat any team on my shard using any of the capital ships. I usually run AA though.
