Is ship arena broke?

We care, do developers?

It’s totally broken TFP dodge does not grant TM to offense capital ship but does so reliably on AI defense. There are tons of threads on this. Silchas is absolutely correct he isn’t saying this guy’s entire fleet of ships is 100k lower he’s saying that the squad he is fighting with is under 300k. Gear six Tarkin with no ships that are gear 12 gold. Ship speed should still matter on the starting three. A player like this would have been 100-200 rank in the old starting 5 ship 1.0 on a shard that old.

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?

One problem here is the power rating which completely fails to account for synergy between characters / ships. Not really surprising: with all the variables in play that is impractical if not impossible to do programmatically.

Those same variables make it difficult for a simple game AI to outmatch a Human and PVP in this game is really just PVE against a team picked by a Human.

I see similar things in Squad Arena where my mixed team needs a 20% power advantage vs high synergy teams like Phoenix and in fleet arena where my high synergy team and beat higher-powered teams.

But that synergy - certain character / ship combos working very well together is an intentional part of the game's design.

Sadly even with the rework ship synergy is a joke. Running a FO squad would be awesome but the AI is set up wrong for both Kylo ships. I’d love to see Clone synergy but Rex’s ship just isn’t there yet. Rath I get what you are saying but there are still glaring bugs in fleet that are much worse than arena. Fleet RNG has always been broken and the new 2.0 has only exposed that flaw even further.

We should have thought of that...what were we thinking.

That image is misleading because he has a biggs that the image is cutting off at g11. Unless you can use arena rank and show a screenshot of his lineup compared to yours its hard to tell or how developed your shard is.

That biggs is only g10. Double purple on the top left, but only one purple solid line in the top right.

Same player arena and fleet side by side. So that arena team wouldn’t even be in most of our top 200. Nothing against this player it’s just an example he/she is new, growing. That’s great. But that is a starter arena team. So this person should be able to beat Traya with that team? No of course not. Why should Fleet be any different?

Why are you using Eeth Koth and Luminara on your arena team? They’re terrible. You could climb a lot higher if you replaced them with characters like Aayla, Ezra, or Barriss.

That’s not my team LOL it’s someone on my shard that illustrates the OP point.
