I doubt they'll change the reinforcement priority again. You'd be better off finding another ship that has a higher reinforcement priority.

From memory, Palp's shuttle will come out before mk6. It might need to be placed first in the reinforcements though.

that's not acceptable. do other capital ships have a forced lineup to use or you're affected by a bug? I don't want to use palps shuttle, and we shouldn't be forced to use any specific ships

It's not a bug. Manipulating the reinforcement priority is something that exists in some way for basically every fleet.

It's why you only really use 2 reinforcements on defense.

Like deliberately not putting a tank reinforcement for Nego to try and increase the chances for the AI to call Plo first.

it was a bug. CG acknowledged it was a bug. it was listed in the developer tracker. a fix was created, and hotfix implemented. just not properly

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the TM gain useless against Prof anyways?

You are not wrong, but sith fighter helps against other fleets that don't prevent TM gain. And against profundity, the foresight becomes increasingly annoying because you miss more frequently which slows down your download progress.

I used SF against Prof 3 timed (by forgetting to change team after mirror matches) and that ship is first to die. I never had Dorito dying, but SF is dead before 1st reinforcement...
Is it really slowing something on defence? ?
(I haven't noticed any changes in how far I dropped with different starting teams)

I think it's not really a bug, but how the reinforcement system is designed unfortunately. It'd require a massive overhaul to change it.

I don't love sith fighter's reinforcement bonus, it makes the ship weaker over the battle. I also prefer the extra bonuses it gives via unique ability from the start (foresight and TM gain)

But now that the mk 6 interceptor will reinforce first if sith fighter is in the starting line up, it won't snipe a ship and will die before getting enough stacks to snipe a ship on auto. It almost makes it better, if placing on defense, to not place it in the reinforcements.

Mark VI doesn't die after Sabotage the Hangars when an enemy reinforces with it.

Is there an accurate list of relative reinforcement priorities for all ships out there somewhere over the rainbow that can be shared?

There is.

Using SF vs Prof is really easy without having the ship destroyed if you

- just use basics with SF
- with Fury use 2nd special first
- mark B28 both times when sabotage hangars (first) and engines (second)
- call Darth Mauls ship first and stealth everyone except B28
- call MK6 second and instakill Y with basic

Everyone will survive, you don't need Tie Bomber to prevent assists, but until the reinforcement order is fixed, your fleet struggles more than necessary on defense :/

@Enigmatic_Potato thanks!

Or you know just go back to left to right reinforcement calling....

That would be nice…
