Ship speed not working as intended?

So in a typical Ackbar falcon fight for some reason capital ships are gaining some random TM.

I have one of the fastest capital ships in my shard, however when I go first I’ll take my first round of turns, then the opponent will go and take theirs.

Next turn however the opponents capital ship will go first and call reinforcement, anyone tell me how this is happening when there is no TM being fed to ackbar capital ship.

TFP isn’t present (obviously)

    "most" people... you complain about a problem
    people are asking you specific questions and you answer with some random bullshit
    either you want a correct answer or you just wanna complain about nothing

    so either you post the lineups and capital ship speed so people can exclude bistan for example or you dont ask at all
    its so simple
    just dont be that lazy :smiley: )

    I’m not daft I’m aware no ships that are coming in can affect the TM... no bistan and no TFP, I’m sure you’ve come across these fleets before, not sure you need telling the reinforcements in a ackbar rebel fleet.

    Both you and your opponent are running this lineup? What reinforcements are being brought in?



    The usual phantom, ghost, blah blah...

    Fight will usually be over by the third anyhow.

    Fleet arena is 99% RNG based when everyone's ships are the same speeds. If you have an Ackbar / Falcon fleet vs Ackbar / Falcon fleet especially so. If the AI doesn't want you to win, you ain't winning and it'll just be referred to as "oh that's just RNG" because that's the easy response. CG relies on "RNG" wayyyyyy too much in this game.

    It is ridiculously stupid and painful, but fleet arena is lower on the priority than organizing sock drawers and been so for the last 12ish months (since ships 2.0 came out) so don't expect it to change any time soon.

  • Is it possible that even being 1 speed faster than the enemy cap ship, during the course of battle both you and enemy cap ship reached 100% turn meter? It doesn't matter who got there first, but if they are both already there at the start of a turn it's a coin flip. Same as character battles...
    Maybe that's what is happening to you :)
  • Without TM manipulation somewhere in the mix, 1 speed faster should remain in the lead throughout the battle.

    no it is not possible. not without some TM manipulation.
