One would expect the Emperor's shuttle to be a little stronger than what it is and make the Empire and Sith at least more competitive against Falcon fleets, which in turn could bring more variety. Instead the devs decided it would only be a mediocre filler ship that counters HT, that was the previous meta. Well done CG, you blew it again!

There is a high probability of a sith capital ship coming at some point, but it would be an unjustified business move from CG to throw away their brand new meta, in which people invested, barely after a month.
High probability? Maybe next year sometime, not anytime soon. We’ve only asked for it for a long time so of course they will wait longer.
Really hoped that this ship would bring back rock paper scissors. The good thing about ships before was all metas could be BEATEN. Falcon is so frickin' hard to beat that it has ruined ships.
The falcon should be beatable already. It should never have been unbeatable.
We had that in ships. It was good. it was fun. They didn't need to ruin ships like they have arena.
lol dude....EVERY ship does not have to be better than the last...why should a ftp release be better than a legendary... soooooooooooooooooo LOL
The biggest whine in game for me right now is there is ZERO ship content....devs want us to spend money but give us NOTHING to play or do with these moneymakers...
maybe with more ships they will give us that content....so YES COMEON CG.....keep those ships coming garbage or not...keep em coming....
GIVE US SOME SHIP CONTENT
Its kit is fine....someday an empire tank will have 10x the tanking power of houndstooth and on that day you will have an immortal empire tank
Tbh when I saw the shuttle I had hoped it would bring back the rock paper scissors ships had prior to Falcons release ruining ship arena. It should have been stronger then it is, and it should have served as a nice counter to Falcon. But still be beatable on offence.. like we had before.
Man ships was awesome before Falcon.
Well, in the interest of only being a little more competitive, I think there's more time for playing around and theory crafting. I only skimmed that video, so I can't critique it in its entirety. I know he tries several different line ups and capitals, but it also seems there are things he didn't try, and mixing shuttle in with fleets that aren't 100% Sith/Empire. I think there are strategies that could be had that might work against weaker Falcon fleets.
Ships has never had a rock paper scissors layout.
At best you could use a different capital ship but still ~80% same ships.
They seem to be fleshing out ships a bit and we cant expect every ship to be "the ship" every time, we need the support and backup to come about.
Exactly, every fleet on my shard looks the same now contrary to their whole “we want to provide more options”. Where do they come from where that means “force one specific lineup model”? Shuttle didn’t have to break the falcon while still being a chance to make other fleets players heavily invested time and $ in to not feel like theybjust got kicked in the Jimmy. It was also released in a way specifically to trigger a panic farm. Why on earth should players spend one extra ¢ on it if it does absolutely nothing to change anything? The most powerful force user in the galaxy at his time but no, he can’t affect a battle in any meaningful way. Just seems rather bonkers on a marketing standpoint to specifically release a panic farm acquired ship/toon and remove any reason to panic farm it. Also, another missed opportunity to release a DS legendary that could be DS unlocked but I guess they love keeping that same force alignment unlock for ONLY LS.
A variety is a stretch, but yes there was more than mirror matches, but still many of the same ships in both teams.
I agree, but the point is that as they develop more ships not every ship is going to the key ship to change things. That doesnt mean they wont be useful later.
Apparently that is too hard. Just like a DS unlocking a legendary DS for once in the years of this game instead of just giving LS all the faction only unlocks. Truthfully it’s not, but for them it is for some reason.
Because that would then limit future releases as they would have to dialed back to keep the balance.
So you would rather it just swing wildly back and forth every time a new ship is released?
Maybe they were trying to listen to complaints that people didnt like the HT/mace stall meta, and broke that up with HMF. Players then complain that there is nothing but, so rather than release another OP ship they release the building blocks to the next meta to allow a more balanced shift.
