Chimaera Power Misleading

1. Look at the stats of my Chimaera (ally code 529-789-915), and at those of Ethan Geilvta 2 (same fleet arena server, Darksaber Legacy guild).
Here is the comparison:
Stat: My Chimaera compared to Ethan's
Reinforcement slots: 3 == 3
Abilities: all maxed == all maxed
Speed: 142 < 145
Critical Damage: 150% == 150%
Potency: 33.81% < 36.08%
Special Damage: 21172 < 22352
Special Critical Chance: 10% == 10%
Resistance Penetration: 0 == 0
Special Accuracy: 0% == 0%
2. Now look at the power of both ships.
Power: 41431 > 39571
My power is 1860 greater than the other's power, despite no single stat, none, zilch better than a lower power ship. This is truly astonishing.
It would be much better to change ship power calculation is such a way, that higher power guarantees at least a single stat being better.

Sure it does GP is raised by raising level, stars, abilities and quality of mods(Level and dots only), which all raise Crew power as well. Crew power raises stats on the ship according to the modifier based on the number of stars on the ship, which translates to the ships GP.
The problem with the OP's post is it doesn't contain all the details needed to figure out the problem as we need info about both thrawns and whether or not both chimeras are at the same star level
Ship stars do not in themselves affect ship performance (other than supposedly boosting the combat stats, which is broken as is shown in the OP).
See above - Thrawn being better or extra stars don't add any value in their own right to ship's performance. They are supposed to trickle into the combat stats, but, as you can see, they do not.
Looks like so, but would it not be more convenient for players if it did?
If you are an EA employee who wants to fix it - you should be able to see all the additional details, as you should have access to the servers with player data, but if not - I can happily provide any additional details.
Thrawn's gear pieces do not in themselves afect ship performance (other than supposedly boosting the combat stats, which is broken as is shown in the OP).
Gear on Thrawn directly affects the stats you are saying are lower, so extra pieces your opponent has is adding to the speed, potency and damage. Compare the numbers in the blue brackets on the stats screen to see how both players Thrawn's are contributing to the stats.
Stars do boost combat performance, as they increase the STR, TAC, AGI and Crew multipliers which add more stats.
If you want more informed help from everyone, put up screen shots of both Thrawn's and both Chimaera's stats, that's what @Darthpedro was after.
Boobies, buttholes and smelly farts. Good day
There are lots of factors that go into gp and stats especially with ships, without the full picture it's impossible to tell if you are missing something.
I've provided further feedback that this may be explainable if all the information is presented and it may not actually be an issue at all.
You've declined to provide further information stating that
If that's the case and you don't want help then fine, stop posting to this thread and it will eventually fall out of everyone's view and you won't get any help that you don't want.
Feedback.
My opinion is that ignorant people should be helped.
That's what made me believe i should help you.
You are welcome.
Well your title stating that something is wrong when more than likely it isn't wrong and there is an explanation that you may not understand. Which is an opinion by the way.
Call me a glutton for punishment but I have a compulsion to try to help people who don't understand things.
Yes I do need help here, but you have not been helpful, as you have been helping me with how it is calculated, and giving me feedback an opinions on topics I am not interested in.
If you want to help - try to look at everything, not just the title, i.e. look at the section where this post is located, i.e. "Feedback" (not "General" as you seem to have assumed), and also at the actual post, "It would be much better to change ship power calculation" for instance. Taking everything together, you will see how you can help, i.e. by expressing an opinion about the calculation.
Changing something because you don't understand it or want to understand it is not the right answer.
BTW it's hard to "look at everything" as you say, when a good chunk of the information isn't there.
Dude. I look at all your posts here, and it sure doesn’t sound like you want help. I’ll bet it has everything to do with you’re Thrawn, yet you’ve attacked everyone that commented about it. You won’t accept other people’s opinions here, you’re just trying to prove that it’s wrong. Why? Just accept it
If he was Thrawn, I doubt he'd waste time on a mobile game like the rest of us.

To be fair this isn't new. Power rating has never been an overly useful stat not before the move from power to GP and not after. A big part of that problem in characters is that the actual effect mods have on stats really isn't weighted at all nor are set bonuses or synergy combos.
