What’s working for you in ships 2.0?

Now that I’ve had some time to try different things, I’m getting the hang of the new system and really like ships 2.0, though there’s some improvements needed.

What’s working for you? My starting line up has more or less settled on 5s, Biggs, and Vader. I want someone that can taunt, but Plo Koon isn’t fast enough. I like 5s to get a fast Target Lock and Vader as an insurance policy. I burn down the enemy Biggs first, which is a lot easier now.

I was using Endurance at first, but its abilities are so bad now. I’m using Home One for now while transitioning over to Executrix, but that’ll be a while and hopefully something new will come along first. Home One has good speed and its AoE now calls two assists all the time, perfect for crackong those Biggses early.

I’m still experimenting with reinforcements, but so far my all-stars have been Clone Sgt ARC and Poe. ARC is my preferred tank, but it only taunts if it’s brought in as a reinforcement... So if I need to be defensive I’ll bring him in first. Otherwise I’ll bring in Poe and have him blast someone without protection (usually TIEs). Clone ARC is also pretty handy with this with his improved missile.

I’m digging Plo Koon for now, but I don’t know if he’s helping me win, or just ensuring that I win by more... I might swap it out for Jedi Consular since his reinforcement does close to the same thing and you can do a big assist right off the bat.

Also been using Millenium Falcon, but the damage is just non-existent and frustrating... Might replace it with Resistance X-Wing once I improve her reinforce ability to 40% assist chance.
  • I've been liking Ahsoka as a reinforcement. Once the other guy drops Slave 1, I can call Ahsoka to dispell all those buffs on him, making his 100 reinforcement mats a waste, and then go about dispelling Biggs so that I can finally kill someone (or do it the other way around, but the slight chance of Slave 1 dodging scares me)
  • Executrix : first 3 line-up are Biggs,FOTP and Vader.As back-up i use Reaper,Sun Fac's ship,Phasma/Kylo's command shuttle and Scimitar (being one of my strongest ships).

    Unpoular opinion: TIE Fighter kind of sucks. Too fragile, good speed, but otherwise it's a liability.

    I wish the AI would have 5s open up with his special...


    TIE goes first (mostly) and has a 70% TL chance. And now Biggs is taunting.

    I tried FOTF for a while instead but TIE works so much better for me on offense.

    Use both. 2-3 chances for TL, or some massive damage if Tie lands TL, and both are fast so you should get it in quickly.
