New capital ships, why?

Prev1
Unless CG is planning on dumping 7 new ships on us to go with them it is kind of dumb. Even then, I only have 1 hounds tooth so I can only really have 1 viable fleet. After all these years we only have enough ships to fill out two factions. Rebel and Galactic Republic. If cg could stop spending all their time on packs maybe they could roll out a steady stream of ships. Which of course would blast my gp well into the next division which is a different problem.

    This is typical really. We’ve asked for more capital ships for a long time because they were needed. Now, they are saturating the market with them.

    Sometimes I wonder if they go overboard on this stuff to get people to stop asking for things.

    That being said, let’s hope that this just lays the groundwork for a better fleet environment in the future. One where they can add ships and we just have to pick the tight capital ship to use.

    Realistically you won’t be using more than 2-4 fleets for most game modes (fleet arena, TW / GAC, TB)

    Only place this is an issue will be the upcoming raid. Something they are definitely aware of. Otherwise, capital ship to ships ratio isn’t that bad.

    What is good now is that we will have capital ships for all the different factions from the different eras from the movies now and most ships have a place.

    However, I do agree that more ships are needed and I remember them saying they have a lot of ships planned for this year. Of course we will see if it happens.

    And if they gave us normal ships first, people would complain about the lack of capitals. This way, we can at least test the general playstyle even with somewhat lacking fleet before they flesh it out completely. I say, give us the two and then some more!

    enjoy that extra GP that pushes you into a higher bracket without giving you an actual advantage :P

    Allround plug and play choice: HT
    There are already various fleets we can build and obviously new ships are going to be added for the FO and Res caps, especially the resistance faction is gonna require some serious improvement.

    Or actual disadvantage since you're matched on relevant GP.... Now you might just get better rewards fighting similar opponents. The horror!

    I’m glad they are releasing new capital ships.

    Beyond the new ship raid, I think a new requirement of setting 2+ ship fleets on defense in GAC is needed

    I think HT is the problem really. Change his kit to say he only gains bonus protection if another BH ally is in the fleet. Then watch everyone cry.

    Better get the new ones to 7 stars quickly for the galactic event I bet!

    Because whale that's why.

    But seriously any new content will be behind a huge financial barrier so they can profit. If people can pass a ship raid with their established ships then CG makes much less for their product since people dont have to pay to reach the next level.

    The heroic raid will likely require the new capital ships to complete the raid meaning to even get 2% in a phase so that will encourage everyone to get them asap and thus encourage spending.

    One faction at a time guys. Presumably there will be a new ship or two, at least a Resistance one.

    The only cap ship I want is Hondo's UFO, because that's as close as we can get to a BH/Scoundrel cap.

    I don't think he's saying that. We just got 2 more and now we just need the fleets to support the new capitals.

    I have a feeling they'll release at least 2 new fo and 2 new res ships to support the 2 capitals anyway. Hopefully the existing resistance ships (except maybe poe) get a rework along the way.

    People are unfairly hostile to cg about the dumbest things. At least stay on target. New ships are great. I just wish they would fix all the **** bugs before they release new characters that will add even more bugs
