Ships 2.0 is it an improvement?

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.
