Can anyone explain ships to me? I’ve played this game for 2 yrs and ships has never made sense since they launched them. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to why things happen. Why does this ship go first? Why is their spd higher? Why is their armor this number? How do you make anything better? It’s the most frustrating and least thought out part of this game. I’ve asked before and no one has given me a straight answer. Power rating? Doesn’t matter. Stars? Doesn’t matter. Which ships they use? Doesn’t matter. All I’ve ever heard is some vague, pseudo nonsense about mods on the pilots making a difference, but no one knows how. My pilots are some of my best characters. My ships are terrible. Anyone have actual strategy for this and not just a shrug?

Increase stats by promoting and enhancing your ship, and increasing the power of the pilot
moved to strategy section. but it doesn't sound like you don't understand. more like you dont believe, because mods are simple, 5 dot fully upgraded add the most.
stars matter
lvls matter
they all add power to your ships. (offense, defense, attack and defense.)
abilities add speed
check out the link.
You’re correct. I don’t believe the numbers. I’ve been to that link, seen the spreadsheets, and tried to figure this out. But, none of that translates to a difference in gameplay. That’s why I’m frustrated and stuck between 550-750 in pvp ships and I want to throw my phone every time I do the 1, single required daily. Because nothing changes. I’ve gotten several ships up to 6*, the characters were ALREADY 7* g10-11, 5 dot mods. And nothing changes
There are better ships and set ups with synergy, you can’t just dump 5 of your ships with highest GP into your Fleet Arena and pray for the best.
I ship battles it will happen a lot as they don't have the variety of modded toons, just think back at the Poe meta
Now to answer your question, each ship has some base stats (speed, armor, hp, protection). As you gear and upgrade your ship and pilot, those stats increase at a set amount. You cannot increase one stat alone, because the ships have fixed stats (minimum and maximum).
As everyone has said, pilot rarity, 5* lvl 15 mods (no matter what they are), ship rarity, gear, etc all work to increase your ships stats.
