Ships is too important now

It did from the start. Zetas, shards for many elite characters and good gear.

Ships are fine. Love everything about that feature.

Who told you it was a secondary game feature?

It is the source of zetas, it is a top tier feature. Just like HAAT used to be when it was the source of the highest gear. Now it has been supplanted by TB.

The 3 most important things in this game are characters (shards), abilities, and gear. The place to get the best version of those things currently available is always a primary game feature.

HAAT is a secondary game feature now, but ships never has been one.

False on both counts.

It's great that finishing at #6 now gets you more than just 200 more fleet tokens that finishing #199 (and ship currency change). Ship rewards have always been way too flat IMO.

I just don't understand why crystals cut off at rank 21. (Well I understand why but it's lame)

Ships are the most important:), more than money:)....

I think it's due to the fact there's only 1,000 participants in each shard and there isn't too much competition until rank 200-ish? In my shard, top 50 have at least 2.3mil GP so I have a tough time getting past rank 300 with majority of 7* ships and G10-12 toons.

Ships have always been important. If for nothing else, Zeta mats.

For all those people who have neglected Ships this whole year, its going to become even more clear now that crystals are rewarded in arena, which they probably should have been from the very beginning to be honest.

We told you so.

No. I don't remember things that never happened.
But hey, well done for coming across as incredibly self-satisfied.

One of these guys did not work on building ships and is now regretting the decision.
