Ships 2.0 is it an improvement?
Do you feel Ships 2.0 is dynamic or pretty much RNG based.

It is worse than before. Pure RNG.

My best ships got nerfed whereas the difficult to obtain ones got buffed. But the nerfed ones are still useful imo. So yeah, i still absolutely love the way they balanced ships, and also the new reinfo ability on every ship.
I absolutely HATE the 3v3. It leaves too much to whose ships go first, what they target, who target locks etc etc. I believe this would be a fantastic update, if not for the 3vs3.
Maybe it's just me but I don't really seem much difference. I'm using pretty much the same ships and getting pretty much the same results. Battles seems to be taking pretty much the same sort of times. Maybe a tiny bit longer?
My Slave is a little better...maybe a couple of my ships not quite so good.
But apart from that? I don't see much difference.
Rare for me - but serendipitously my Geo ships are already pretty good because I always had a soft spot for them.
Too much RNG dependent and everyone now runs the same ships only.
And mostly fight end after 30-60 seconds. More than 50% of fight it is not required to use the ultimate.
Booring as hell now.
Also funny that CG told they will not nerf any ships, but a lot has nerfed.
You must be on a newer shard. For ships 1.0, everyone on mature shards was running the exact same lineup, the fights went fast, and the ultimate was never used, let alone 50% of the time.
Funny thing is that most people are complaining about the fights taking longer now. And I've had more fights with both cap ships getting the ultimate out.
I have been running 7* g8 Sun Fac for the last 2 months anyway to allow me to hold one more turn to get to the Thrawns upgraded ultimate. Glad I spent time on him. He is pretty good now.
The fact that battles are taking longer would seem to indicate that CG didn't fully understand how their own game mode works, considering they shortened the timer and indicated that one of the goals if the rework was to shorten ship battle times.
So what do you think? Were they being disingenuous or do they not understand the game?

As do I - which is why I don't like ships 2.0.

I'd agree with some points and refute some points.
1. Too much RNG. Yes agreed. More often than not battles are decided by how many ships are left after I get struck by enemy chimaera ult. Also imperial tie dodges less often, but when it does, it feed more turnmeter than before. It still drives me crazy enough. Mine never dodges, enemy's always dodges. Again, as annoying as it always has been.
2. Everyone runs same lineup. Agreed, but this might change over time. Geonosian triple garbage has become Geonosian triumvirate, Millennium Falcon's unique buff (The thing that you gain through 2nd special ability, spinning is a good trick) is unremovable now, so it has gotten some more usefulness, etc.
3. Mostly fights end in 30~60 seconds. Agreed. Only in my dream. COMPLETELY the other way in my experience. My fleet is 335k power now, with 7 star G11 executrix, G12 Vader, Maxed FOTP, Maxed TFP, G11 Biggs, G12-G9 Reaper (7* 7* 7*), G9 Boba, G8-9zeta Falcon. The matches always end after both me and opponent have used ultimate fleet commander abilities. It takes forever. And it really drives me crazy if I almost got them and get ohko'ed by enemy chimaera's ult. That ability is a pure carcinogen.
4. More than 50% of the fights ... ultimate. Say no more please. I wish what you said is the case for me too.
5. Booring as hell now. Agreed. Completely based on RNG's willingness to screw up everything with enemy Chimaera's ult or leave some ships for me afterwards.
Yep, playing two and half years with a GP of 3 million+...just a noob. C'mon man, you're better than this.

I'm reasonably sure you don't think it's pure RNG though, otherwise, yes, just a noob.
Sure that’s one way of looking at things. When you’ve been in this game since the beginning and have never dropped out of top 10 in arena and run in a top guild, noob seems to be a befitting title I guess.
Seriously man! I thought you generally had an intelligent point of view, what happened?
I've got the same list i can give you about my "ingame carreer", still doesn't mean i'm not a noob though.
I can relate. It's hard to stay both positive and logical in the face of overwhelming day-after-day negativity about every single thing in the game.
It's a race towards who goes first and who can knock out biggs and get their reinforcement in first so it becomes 4v2. Warrior put up a good video, along with Smithie D about ships, but at the end of the day, this is what I've seen on my fleet shard. There were a couple with Ackbar and even one Mace cap ship in the top 50, but no more.
So there "might" be more rock paper scissors, but only with reinforcements currently.
This maybe because the battle is much more rng, therefore theres less strategic value of capital ships now, = variety in capital ships, since people are fed up with the current state and want to find something thats more of a stable choice. Tarkin was always a stable choice, its a painfully simple ship.
So variety does not necessary mean the game mode is better.
Just because your decision-making leads to more rng doesn't mean there's more rng in ships now.
My decision making? Please tell me your decision making system that clearly makes you a winner against the current biggs tfp vader trio with slave1 reinf. I have the same fleet, even better stats and yet I often lose dependong on both tfps evade rate.
Well there's one problem right there, stop targeting the TF without using Vader or Poe's special. Just because they cut the dodge rate down doesn't mean you should just attack it willy-nilly now.
