The Fun way to Rework Ships

They probably already have this solution fully cooked up, so feedback is probably not wanted. That being said, removing the pilot-ship pairing is the key mechanic.

Have all (non-GL) characters available as pilots. They apply stats based on Zetas, Mods, Relics as they do now. However, you choose who pilots what ship. Give pilots affinity bonuses based on mastery (Tactics healers provide X). Give affinity bonuses for matching force alignments (You can have IG-88 pilot your Marauder, but it will be missing Y stats).

Make the current ship abilities tied to characters part of the base kits of the ships. And most importantly, add pilot slots to unpiloted vessels. Now our Hyena Bombers and Y Wings can survive.

This makes ships fun and customizable while also easing the pipeline to add more ships. You don't need a pilot anymore, just a ship kit.

  • Hard no. I'm pretty sure Sith Eternal Emperor never flew Plo Koon's starfighter. Besides which, this:

    Would make GL piloted ships monstrously unbalanced. No on all fronts here.

    GLs aren't in ships. So you would keep them out.

    *sarcasm warning*

    My apologies for pointing out a flaw in your wording and implicitly questioning what it is you meant

    Wording cleared up, problem solved. I still don’t like this idea, however.

    And instead of being an adult and articulating any critiques, you just internet tough guy showing you need to touch grass.

    Either provide substantive feedback or move on without a word.

    Alright, time to rip your silly little comment to pieces.

    ahem

    I did articulate my critiques, son. I pointed out that GLs in ships would grossly imbalance the matches, and that having any pilot to any ship didn’t make sense. Those are, in fact, the main two problems of your post, and I mentioned both of them.

    And after pointing out the discrepancies in what was either a cover up or a genuine mistake, you resorted to insulting me by calling me a “sticking naysayer that hates fun.”

    The absolute irony in you claiming that I wasn’t mature, yet you threw the insults first and added salt to that with your senseless comments of touching grass and not providing substantive feedback (which I did) is laughable. If there’s somebody not articulating their reasoning, it sure isn’t me.

    And before you reply, I’m stating here and now that there’s no insults in this post, only a sharp rebuttal. So are YOU going to respond maturely or are you going to say some baseless nonsense again and objectively be a hypocrite?

    Nope. I don't like this idea at all. 

    First, I play the game because of the Star Wars theme. And part of that has always been that some characters have iconic ships. Han and Chewie fly the Millennium Falcon. Wampa doesn't fly Slave I. End of story.

    Second, your idea will mean that—as already happens too much, in my opinion—only the top slice of our roster will get used. Everyone else will be useless. I like that characters that aren't meta themselves still get to contribute as pilots. 

    I agree that CG should revisit pilotless ships' stats to make sure that they're staying relevant as additional relic levels make piloted ships more powerful. 

    There are already plenty of characters in the game that are still waiting on their ships. I'm sure more will come as well. 

  • This change would absolutely ruin fleet arena. We have a enough issues with CG constantly buffing Levi for no reason. The time spent on this could be used making older fleets still usable or new characters lifters like Commando Droid for GG Seps.
