I know a lot of work has to go into a raid, and as such there may not be a ship raid for a while. But if that's the case, can we get something similar to assault battles for ships? This could be a fun way to add some PVE into ships which allows for multiple encounters. You could also add in special abilities to the different types of ships, to help break them out from the squad battles. It could be something like this:
Defense of the Death Star
Requirement: Empire ships
Wave 1: You fight against a bunch of enemy fighters that don't have any capital ship support.
Wave 2: Take out the medical frigate. You have to destroy the medical frigate, which is being defended by rebel ships (including the falcon, piloted by Lando and Nien Nunb).
Wave 3: Defend your capital against several waves of fighters and an enemy corvette.
Wave 4 (final): Destroy the enemy Cruiser.
Your ships could be given different abilities based on their types.
Tank: Defensive formation (3). Dispel target lock from all allies and all debuffs from this ship, recover 50% health and protection, and gain taunt and defense up for 2 turns.
Attacker: Overwhelm (3). Gain Critical Chance Up and Critical Damage Up until the end of your next turn. Take a bonus turn, during which you ignore taunt and your attacks apply marked, but cannot attack the enemy capital ship.
Support: Bombing run (2). Deal true damage against the enemy capital ship and remove 30% turn meter. For each active enemy fighter, reduce turn meter removal and damage done by 10%.
Capital: Endless waves (2). Target ally recovers 100% health and protection and activates its reinforcement ability. (This ability replaces reinforcement whenever you can't use it, i.e. none left or 5 active fighters).
Obviously, you could have different events for the different factions, but Empire sounds the most fun right now since it would give you something to do with all those Empire ships that are currently rusting in the hangar.

There's TB
There's TW (sometimes)
There's Contraband Cargo
There's Fleet table
There's Ship Challenges
There's Chimera event
There's the Home One/Executrix/Endurance Mastery events
There's the Han's Millenium Falcon event
Heck if you want Darth Revan and Darth Malak you pretty much have to put some effort into fleet (for Carth).
All things that require ships. Would I like more? Sure. I love ships.
But to say there's nothing but Arena is not quite accurate.
meh 2 years man..in terms of everything you posted there I see maybe 4 minutes a week tops maybe less 6 minutes if it's a TB week.
except for CC (which i ceded) There is Zero non auto content for any of your ships outside of your meta team in the arena NON ZERO zilch except for your quarterly Han event which again once you have......"annnnnd it's gone"
EDIT : Your capital ship challenges are faction based yet old and meaningless once you have them.... Asking for some non meaningless once completed FACTION based ship events is not asking a lot..it's really not
This game is all about grinding and repetitive actions. Aside from the occasional SURPRISE Legendary/Journey events there's been no new content in ages. You don't use at least half the roster in any game mode if you're trying to be competitive.
I get your point - new and engaging content would be welcome indeed. But let's not pretend there's nothing to do just because there's nothing YOU like to do.
not end game state getting 4 ships to gear 10-11 state you could have that done before you hit your arena shard
