Disappointment in GAC ship execution

RyogaHibiki

Still waiting for content designed to elevate fleet investors. Single fleet defense in rear is a very poor choice to reward those whom put their faith that ship investments would be fruitful.
Is there a chance to consider 1x fleet defense in both front lines?
I know everything can't be logical, but I don't see how enemies in space could reach each other without using ships and going through an enemy fleet to reach the ground.

There are not enough ships to require two fleets in defense and two in offense.

I like idea of ships in GAC but this way it is so predictable. I would prefer if fleet is treated as any other team - I want to place it to whatever slot I choose or not to place it at all and use a squad instead. Scoring of fleet battles would need to be same as squad battles.

I disagree, there are enough ships to have functioning 4 fleets, granted only 2-3 of them will function well.
So there's strategy, where will you put your least effective fleet? Back defense? Work up powerful 4 ship fleet to try to compensate (and snag underdog points on offense)
Though I can agree we need more ships.
Many more.

Not if you are 2M player ...

Totally agree with you; but I'm mostly hitting on the fact the game matchmaking is stacked against fleet specialists; so there's a lot of incentive to skip ships.
A player like me with 2.25M fleet GP essentially can't win a fleet involved GAC.
This is because of matchmaking and fleet node placement.

The disappointment is that there isn't 1 place for a fleet-centric player to dominate.

Seriously? The daily rewards for finishing at the top of fleet arena are far better than any GAC rewards.

Crystals are nice, but if you continue to invest mostly in fleet with those rewards, you cannot be competitively matched in GAC with fleet involved.
I have hopes for fleet raid; but I've felt pessimistic about it lately, like they'll only make 1 or 2 phases of some new raid with ships.

Fleet rewards also lead to the primary (and only) way to "farm" zetas. Yes, you need to be balanced - but there is definetly a benefit to being strong in fleet.
