Ships PvP

I have run into the exact same issue. What really frustrates me is going up against the an opponent with the exact same squad as I have and where I clearly have the superior numbers and I struggle to down even ONE ship. I would dearly love for EA to explain how going into a battle against someone with Akbar as capital ship and no ship in their squad capable of taunting can have one ship taunt for multiple turns while getting Purple protection that makes it impossible to kill even with Ahsoka. I have run into this way too many times and it is getting very tiresome. EA - you really need to rework the mechanics of the ship battle s and rework the benefits that pilots bring to the battle. A level 50 character with less than tier 7 gear in a 2 star level 60 ship should not be able to wipe out a mid 70's character with full mods, tier 9 gear and a level 60, 3 star ship!!!
