Is ship arena broke?

Its not cheating it's an rng system now. I have all 7 star meta ships and lose to 5* slower ships because my taunts ans dodges some matches never...NEVER land and **** lower player sometimes lands every single one. It happens both ways I've climbed to 1 same way as I've lost by a mile. Pvp in the game is broken right now. Meta is the new way gaming companies keep you on the money Farris wheel.

If you're using biggs, vader, tie or similar it is rng. If you are using geos like me it is a 90% win rate on offense - so very little rng

Ship GP

That’s a hell of a lot of g12 pilots and ship upgrades

Then it's BROKEN..... plain and simple. I don't care how good you think you are, it shouldn't ever happen if you have a better geared and skilled fleet period.

Exactly my point Crazy, ships broke,cos this is happening

I’m just under 400 ship GP and read up on best ships, strategy etc, being beaten regularly by guy with under 300 ship GP with crap ships and pilots, can’t be right. Only happened in last week or so. Makes me think developers are intervening

Do you mean "100k fewer GP?"

Now that would be a problem, assuming it was an accurate comparison of the ships actually being used.

The power rating is flawed, sure.

Your second statement however is pure garbage: there are too many variables in play for a common game AI to beat a knowledgeable Human opponent and real life history is replete with examples of inferior forces defeating superior ones.

My fleet squad GP is about 30-40K higher than people around my rank as I use Phantom and Ghost along with Biggs. Guess what, I can't beat some of the ones around 120K or sometimes lower. it all depends on how long I can keep Biggs going. Also how often my Slave gets to land more TL once Phantoms insta lock is on cooldown.

That said, I have been back to them sometimes with exactly the same loadout and won. Ships more often than not comes down to who's Biggs lasts longer, at least where my shard's at anyway.

I can see your argument and you do bring up a valid point regarding history. I can see it happening every now and then but not every single day. That's all Im trying to say. I just think the system is somewhat flawed. Like the OP said, what's the point of leveling gear and using resources to "improve" your fleet if the game allows someone who is far behind to just beat you?

Ships arena has been broke since Ships 2.0 was launched. No new changes to the arena since then
