Can we get fleet templates now?
With 2 fleets needed in GAC for attack and defense now. Would be nice to have an easier way to select your ships.

Also CG: you most definitely cannot!
I honestly have no clue when the last QOL update was.
Cost too much, nothing is free.
But what does it actually cost.
Moving their fingers 🤣🤣 or typing...
Or just covid... Cannot get work done...
No wonder they don't communicate on the forums, it requires moving their fingers. No wonder they don't do much work on the game because it requires moving their fingers.
Let's put it this way. Carrie was still in charge when the last QoL update dropped.
Back in May 2020, I noticed that we skipped our yearly QOL update. At the time, I had thought that the pandemic was the cause of the delay, but we are now getting close to October with still not even a whisper of when the next major QOL is coming.

March 2019 was the last major QOL update.
They did say they were skipping QOL so they could work on the ocean of new content.
Did they? I must have missed that. Do you have a source?

No. It was in a Q&A or Road Ahead sometime around January. And obviously not phrased the way I phrased it. They said that even though the QOL update comes at that time, they were not doing one in order to work on the engine update.

I cannot find any mention of a cancelled or postponed 2020 QOL update.
Ok.
That is by far the larger problem. We have too few ships for the number of capital ships. 8 capital ships to 43 regular ships. That is 13 ship shortfall in general. Now GAC is doubling the amount of ships required. If you don't defeat someone on the first attempt, you are pretty screwed. The other problem is the factions. Only three Resistance ships. Only four First Order ships. Only six empire ships to split between two capital ships. Only 8 Republic ships to split between two capital ships. Only Galactic Republic and Rebels have enough ships to have a full team. 8 ships without a capital ship, granted a lot of them fit well on non affiliated teams. So, back to the GAC problem, you are going to use 2 capital ships with 14 regular ships on defense. That leaves 29 regular ships on offense, or four full teams, with two of those teams being absolute garbage most likely. I imagine typically people would use Negotiator, Home One, Chimaera and Malevolence. If you stumble on offense, I doubt the scraps are going to be able to take out a bad attack on a Negotiator or Malevolence squad.
That's the biggest set back with ships now. If you don't one shot on offense you're pretty much done for.
I'd say the biggest drawback of ships these days is that it gates a single player game mode (GAC) behind a guild game mode (TB) since the GET2 capital ships are by far the dominant force.
You don't have to fill all the RI slots on defense. In fact, I don't see why you necessarily would. How often does a battle get dragged on long enough for your 4th RI to get called?
To be clear, I agree with the general point that we don't have enough ships for the number of capital ships or to cover a potential loss on offense. But there are ways to stretch them a little.
On the other hand I agree, we should have have a few more ships in some factions to be able to make a full team of 7+1.But again, we only have 3 tuskens...
