Has fleets got crazy hard for anyone else all of a sudden

It is all RNG. That is why Ships 2.0 now ranks as the biggest disaster in Star Wars gaming history. Sony Online Entertainment is now off the hook :)

Of course, the root cause is the obscenely bad drop rates on ship omegas that prevent people from grinding up new fleets and lack of new ships. That said, the RNG makes Ships 2.0 extremely painful to play.
