There is something seriously funky going on in arena. Enemy capital ship always seems to be faster, and it has nothing to do with enemy ITF dodging, nor gear level of the capital ship commander. My impression is that the enemy gains bonus TM whenever I beat one of his fleet ... and it happens with no Reaper on the field.
It looks like the gamechangers don't know either.
Mobile and Ahnold: Chimaera is still the best.
Nukin: Executrix is amazing.
Warrior: Home One is amazing.
The only thing we seem to know now is that Endurance isn't even in the conversation.
My hunch is that Thrawn is still the best generally, but Ackbar could be the best if you're running Geonosians. I'm almost positive it isn't Tarkin: I'm still running him myself (no Thrawn, g8 Ackbar), and I get obliterated by Thrawn's ultimate EVERY. DANG. TIME. And my Tarkin is g12. I've only survived to use my ultimate a couple times, only to have it throw a dozen wet noodles on the enemy ships.
Tarkin Ackbar Thrawn Mace
But the 1st three are all close. Mace is in his own little world.
If you're getting Tarkin to work, could you please tell us how?
You should be winning before he gets to it. Biggs TFP and SF to start, vader 1st in off the bench. Max Vader's reinforcement ability and his basic. Tarkin needs his TM gain and 1st AOE buffed to get the expose. SF needs his unique maxed. Anything else is overkill. I run Geo Soldier, Reaper and Command Shuttle so the AI respects vader going 1st on D.
I've got a hunch character mace will get a rework that brings the GP of his ship up as well. It will probably stay in 4th but not by an embarrassing amount.
Yes, I'm with this really...ships are still up in the air for me. Really can't say what's going on. And that's not a moan...I'm finding it rather exciting
Also whoever posted it before, why would you put SF in opening lineup? His reinforce even at base level is one of the best.
Maybe I'm in an easy shard or something but I haven't had to deal with his ultimate yet.
You don't want to
The damage on his ultimate was nerfed but as you upgrade the ability the damage comes back a little. They added the stuns to target locked enemies which helps make up for it. I never even make it to that ability. When Vader comes in as a reinforcement he blows everybody up.
Im guessing they havent upgraded it yet.
My guess is people are still using old ships simply because they are the best geared. I got lucky in that I was using Sun Fac and Cassian before. Once people get some abilities upgraded I think Mace and some Rebels will show up.
Akbar + Biggs, Cassian, Bistan -> Phantom, Ghost looks promising to me. Bistan's speed upgrade is curious to me and I wonder if he will get faster than the Ties. Unlike the ties his TL is 100%. So is Phantom. And the Phantom increases reinforcemnt speed.
Right now I run Biggs, TFP, Vader -> FOTP, SF, Boba, Cassian. If I am faster I run SF or FOTP off the bench first. If I am slower I run Cassian. Ive almost stopped using Boba completely and may swap him out.
It did this in Ships 1.0 already.
lol, didn't notice because it used to be instant kill.

It seems like Thrawn is losing favor
Accidentally...
I like Vaders Dots. Ships are very Health heavy as opposed to protection so they really change the battle. He also comes in with retribution, gets offense up and inflicts offense down. This means you can target him so he will last many turns. Even if you did want to target him both Biggs and SF are likely still taunting. I usually close things out with just vader or by the time I get to my 2nd reinforcement I bring in GS and he totals a whole ship.
I upgraded his basic and use Thrawns basic with him instead of Thrawns heal or AOE. With Thrawns basic he hits really hard and Biggs is usually dead by the first move of my second round.
One thing to note is that I am actually using tarkin lead. My biggs also doesn't taunt right away without vader in the line up. Their options are likely either TFP with foresight or potentially SF is taunting or they can start early on biggs.
Usually on offense SF takes the beating early but I usually finish with Full health Vader Biggs and TFP with SF almost dead.
Very scientific polling you're doing here.
I do appreciate a thread that is attempting to discuss the new ships rather than complaining about them though.
I'm surprised some wise guy hasn't said mace yet
