Fleet Arena - Back to the Poe Coin flip?

With nearly everyone in the top 20 of fleet running Thrawn commander and an opening five of tfp, fotfp, vader, biggs, and reaper, does it feel like we're back to the Poe coin flip days of arena?

Really, it feels completely dependent on rng.

"Will I be able to target lock (first)?"

Fleet needs some major love to work out the bugs, and give some much needed, non-op, variety in it.

I understand it's relatively new to the game, but there was more variety in the arena in the same amount of time. Please, step it up, CG, or else it's just another Galaxy Chore.
  • Yes. Most teams are extremely similar. They definitely need more ships. Releasing one ship at a time doesn’t work. We need multiple ships released at once. We might see some variety of that happens.

    Relatively new... Was added in 11/2016. Yet all we have had was new ships added.

    Soooooo... relative is relative. I didn't want to sound too whiny when I say it's been out forever and is incredibly stale.

  • That's what your top 20 looks like? My top 20 has lots of variety, with tons of whales too! I just checked, and 8 of my top 20 runs that list that you speak of. The whales on my shard are generally not running it -- the TFP/FOTP/Vader/Reaper/Biggs list tends to be more weighted towards the f2p players.

    If you want to win in fleet, you have to invest in it like in arena. Push all your pilots to G12 and then G12 pieces. Or, you can get creative and just beat them with other ships. I don't even run Biggs and only fall to about rank 20.

    Please share what you run in fleet.
  • I run:

    Chimera (of course, unfortunately this is really the only choice these days)
    Silencer
    FOTP
    Kylo's Shuttle
    Reaper
    TFP

    Some other top whales on my shard run:
    Chimera, Vader, Falcon, Bistan, FOTP, Biggs
    Chimera, Falcon, Slave-1, Biggs, Reaper, FOTP
    Chimera, TFP, Shuttle, Falcon, Biggs, Vader
    Chimera, TFP, FOTP, Bistan, Reaper, Biggs
    Chimera, Bistan, Phantom, Ghost, Biggs, Reaper

    There really is some variety that works well. People just tend to not think creatively and stick to what's easy, not necessarily what's best.

    Then I blame my shard for the staleness and stand corrected. Those lousy, uncreative whales...

    Thanks for the info!
  • People just need more imagination. My shard has a pretty wide variety at the top. Granted, it's not super old ( i started last spring), but I'm still running g11 mace, and finish first dependent on sniping. We have 2 chimaeras running right now in top 10, and two that switched back to tarkin. There's still a couple ackbars that creep up for an earlier payout time, as well. Anyone can beat anyone if you try hard enough. Don't blame the devs for the overall lack of strategic imagination of the player base.
