State of Ships Arena
Disclosure: I've finished 1st in Fleet every day for a while (Top 3 for a long time), so this isn't a "it's too hard so change it" kind of post. Also, I have exactly 3 good Rebels ships, so if CG list...

A lot of this would be solved by doing what many have been asking for a long time before the Falcon came along: Put out some more ships (especially capitals).
Instead of there being one "Have this or you won't be competitive" setup, there could be more of a rock-paper-scissors scenario: Ackbar with Falcon now trumps the Thrawn/HT routine, but wait! A Grievous cap-ship leading seppies turns out to play to the Rebels' weakness. Meanwhile, Hux's cap-ship leading FO has an advantage over Grievous, Holdo's cap-ship and Resistance beats Hux, Thrawn is the antidote to Holdo, etc.
This. Unlike squad arena, ship arena is rock v. rock v. rock. Fleet has always been that way - but when it was 5v5 strategy trumped RNG. Since ships 2.0, RNG has become the determining factor (along with who has whatever CG has decided is the biggest rock).
I think a lot of people here are ignoring that there are lineups that allow for complete elimination of RNG by killing the falcon before it moves (or if its being used, HT taunts). Granted those lineups would fall like rocks if left in on defense.
