Capital ship challenge

Cap ship challenge has truly gotten fucked up. Same as fleet arena.
Now, all the starting ships and reinforcements are the same.
Thank you for destroying ships EA!
P.S. i rank 20s in 1st account and take top 3 in my 2nd.

I still say this is pathetic. Atleast there was some diversity and a bit of a chance to back out of RNG. Now its gone. If u dont have RNG in ur favor for the whole battle. Ur dead.
Oh and special note to all those idiots who nerfed chimaera indirectly! Now i dont even feel like attempting to unlock chimaera let alone get it to 7*.
I am also pretty damn sure that EA is losing revenue in this game now..as old players and even newer ones who were frustrated with sith raid (post nerf of damage and rewards) and fleets now and have abandoned this game

I am having the same issue here. Level 82, DS characters are G8/9, always place top 10 in arena and I still CANT beat this challenge. It is very frustrating...

It irritates me that this wasn't addressed in the latest statement by the devs.

It seems like all of the capital ship challenges have just become impossible now after 2.0, not just Tarkin. I'm not even getting a sniff with either Ackbar or Mace. I'm just glad I finished the Tarkin challenge before the ship rework.

You may want to put vaders tie in the starting lineup. I would keep botht ties. That gives yiu three ships that can tl. Try and get as many ships tl as possible but at least a two or three. Call fett in for your first reinforcement and use his aoe. This is equivalent to four or five attacks depending on how many tl ships. Fett also tanks for you. If you can get fetts other special off it should also weaken the enemy a lot too. Either either way it should help you chip away at them. If you can take out the weak ones after that and gain an advantage. If not, it should weaken them enough to have Tarkin's ultimate finish them off. This strategy still works in arena so it should work here too.

As stated by others, a lot goes into ships, not just the ship itself.

Stars on the ships are less important than your pilots. GS 8 and above is a must. Pilots must be 85 or at least minimum level required for event. All ships abilities should be at the highest you can get them. Capital Ship as well.

Pilots need 5* mods in every slot, highest gear score you can manage, and at least all level 7 abilities or whatever is just below the omega. Pilot level must also be at 85 or as close as you can get. Same for your fleet commander.

Sun Fac, Geo Warrior, Kylo, bring in FOTF then Vader or ITF. You have no balance in your fleet with what you have. DS is very difficult without Vader or Boba

You're absolutely right, but let's not forget we're talking about tier 4 here. With 4* ships lvl 75 required.
This is still kind of beginners lvl.
Maxed out pilots shouldn't be required for this.

Thank you I will keep that in mind. I don't have the credits to lvl up slave one atm.
My starting lineup is Vader, tfp and fo tfp. Reinforcements are geo soldier and maul.
I have silencer on the bench and sometimes I try that ship instead of one of the other reinforcements.

The skills of the executrix are maxed out but that swarm does too little damage because the opponents ships are too good.
I never destroyed more than one ship in the whole battle, that means with the damage from ships and the ultimate combined.
Although all of my pilots are at least gear 8, have mods on them and most of them are well skilled.
This challenge is simply imbalanced.

Is the issue with the challenge that it's 3 v 5 now? It used to be 5 v 5 but I beat it long ago. But fetts aoe should help regardless. Fives has the same type of attack but can't use him here.

Ackbar's 6 star challenge got a lot easier with ships 2.0.
