Ships 2.0 is it an improvement?

I really like how they balanced ships tbh.
My best ships got nerfed whereas the difficult to obtain ones got buffed. But the nerfed ones are still useful imo. So yeah, i still absolutely love the way they balanced ships, and also the new reinfo ability on every ship.

I absolutely HATE the 3v3. It leaves too much to whose ships go first, what they target, who target locks etc etc. I believe this would be a fantastic update, if not for the 3vs3.

@CG_Carrie you might wanna keep an eye on the figures in here just in case you guys review your update and need to see what the folks think without the banter ;-)

Now I will say I hate ships 2.0 but I don’t think the RNG is that bad. I just care that it’s more stagnant than ever and kicked a bunch of ships in the balls.

I can't vote either way definitively positively or negatively.

Maybe it's just me but I don't really seem much difference. I'm using pretty much the same ships and getting pretty much the same results. Battles seems to be taking pretty much the same sort of times. Maybe a tiny bit longer?

My Slave is a little better...maybe a couple of my ships not quite so good.


But apart from that? I don't see much difference.

Once people get the Geos and Republic and FO and Restistance ships geared you will start seeing a bigger variety I think. Now, people are still using their best ships.

Rare for me - but serendipitously my Geo ships are already pretty good because I always had a soft spot for them.

Absolute hate it.
Too much RNG dependent and everyone now runs the same ships only.
And mostly fight end after 30-60 seconds. More than 50% of fight it is not required to use the ultimate.
Booring as hell now.

Also funny that CG told they will not nerf any ships, but a lot has nerfed.

You must be on a newer shard. For ships 1.0, everyone on mature shards was running the exact same lineup, the fights went fast, and the ultimate was never used, let alone 50% of the time.

Funny thing is that most people are complaining about the fights taking longer now. And I've had more fights with both cap ships getting the ultimate out.

Yeah exactly. Ultimate is used every battle. Pre-change it was possible for battles to last 30 seconds between 2 Thrawns with maxed ships and the ultimate would get used 1 battle out of 10.

I have been running 7* g8 Sun Fac for the last 2 months anyway to allow me to hold one more turn to get to the Thrawns upgraded ultimate. Glad I spent time on him. He is pretty good now.

I hate it but I believe it is intended. More trouble = More spending (especially for new ability materials & capital ship mats which you need several thousands)
