I don't know about that. I was running a full republic fleet when this all switched over. I tried running the 6 republic ships in every combination possible and couldn't break top 20. As soon as I took Plo and Sergeant out of my lineup I was able to get back into the top 10.
That's a big part of why I say there's no room in arena for defense or gimmicks anymore. It's not that it isn't good. It's that it isn't worth it sacrifice offense for them, that's just begging to lose, and neither one of these 2 does anywhere near enough damage from my experience to justify their other meager contributions. Healing is pointless. Need to kill the other guy before his ultimate goes off, not drag it out until it does.
I feel like, aside from Asohka, the Republic ships are collectively too defensive (Although it might be a good idea to do this for your final attack, as then you may stall out attackers--but you'd be the expert in that, not me). So if you're using all 6, then, yeah, you're overdoing it. But splashing one or two Republic ships into a mixed fleet seems like a good idea. I really like the ARC as my second tank. I don't have room for Plo Koon, but use the Jedi Consular for his targeted assist. I think the Geonosian Soldier is my long-term solution there, but while it's being worked on, Consular has to fill the role.
