We need more ships. Not capital ships

Prev1
Can you guys pick up the pace with ship releases already? One ship every few months is beyond pathetic on your guys part. We now have 10 capital ships and nowhere near enough ships to push enough viable fleets. There are ton of pilotless ship options available in lore, or even piloted options from toons we already have.

Cmon CG, enough already, produce some ship content and of course the “complicated” fleet loadouts to boot.

    Right - and technically should count as 3 ships.

    Agree 100%. I think there are around 49-50 non-capital ships. With 10 capital ships, that leaves, at most, 5 ships per capital ship, and that does not take into account synergy etc. They should just release a bunch of ships. Could be pilotless (A-Wing; B-Wing; naboo fighter; tie defender) or piloted (Red-5 (Hello!!); Padme's ship; Marauder (BB); Asajj's ship). The possibilities are endless. We have so many toons and so few ships

    What game mode requires 10 capital ships?

    However I do agree that I would like more, and that there are plenty to choose from.

    It would be nice to have more then one dropped battle in fleets in GAC. Even placing something sporadic on defense you have one dropped battle and that’s it because even though you have extra capital ships you have nothing to use them with.

    What game mode requires 295 characters (I guess besides TW if you wanted)? but that's how many we have. Given that a character squad is generally either 5 or 3, and a ship squad maxes at 7, you'd think we'd have more ships to choose from

    If they released more ships than characters, I'd be out of the game. My fleet standard is probably better than my character standard right now, however I really don't enjoy ships. I find it dull compared to character battles.

    To each, their own. But I'm not saying we should have more ships than we have characters. Just that we need more ships, and they should step up on pumping some out

    We don’t need more ships than characters, but we need enough ships to field full fleets with the capital ships we have.

    Really we should also have enough for it to be mathematically possible to max LS Geo. Last count I think we still need 28 more ships for that to be possible.

    And just to pile on other poster: just because no game mode *requires* 10 capital ships does not mean you should not be able to use 10 full fleets in TW/GA if you wanted to.

    I find it interesting that people seemed to miss the point that having no direct need for 10 capital ships is another reason why we should have more ships instead.

    But I yield, you are right.

    Well, I stopped reading at the question, so there's that.

    How often do people have ship battles go past the second reinforcement? Win or lose my fights seem to finish about the time a second reinforcement comes in or sooner.

    That being the case, how does having those two extra slots filled make a fleet more viable? The only impact I see is a defense fleet that holds but loses a ship or two still has some depth. How often does this happen?

    I personally find the release ratio of new ships to capital ships sufficient. I also don’t worry about having ships in offensive fleets that I know I will not have need/opportunity to call in.

    So the call is for 20 more ships?

    28, so the GP to max LS Geo exists, is my call.

    There are a ton of ship opportunities (Jango's Slave I, Havoc Marauder, Sith Starfighter, to name a few).

    What I find interesting is the fact that, iirc, looking at a Crew Member's shards shows "ships needed" rather than "ship needed." It could be possible that there are some characters that could be used for Crew in multiple ships (though I imagine only one of these ships can be used in a battle).

    Marauder when tho.

    What's really surprising is that iconic ships from the films like Red 5 and Jango's Slave 1 aren't in the game but somehow they think people prefer Ravens Claw or Outrider. Dengar was an Executor requirement, yet still there's no sign of the Punishing One (cool name alert). It would be nice to field a full fleet of BHs since there's not enough Empire to fill the other two fleets as it is!

    Maybe some people want to actually be able to get full stars in light side Geo TB?

    Maybe some people want more flexibility in their fleet lineups with more options or be able to use different capital ships without making others unusable due to a lack of ships?

    Maybe some want fleet loadouts so they don’t make mistakes that otherwise wouldn’t happen if they could have lineups saved?

    But then again, maybe some people enjoy being called 'pathetic' and respond positively to that.

    Ravens, they're not going to get it done any faster because you insulted them. They're going to release ships according to their existing calendar no matter what you say... so why be like that? More ships are coming. They're working on it. They know we want more ships - they know we NEED more ships. It's going to happen, but they aren't obligated to do it on your timeline nor because you said so.

    Well when they promised a “shipload” of content and failed to deliver on the ships, I call it as I see it.

    Maybe they should listen to their community for once and listen to what their paying customers and players are calling for?

    So if they know we want and more importantly NEED more ships, why wouldn’t they get a faster cadence out?

    Sorry if I’m being rude to CG in your eyes, but when they deserve criticism and negative feedback I give it. When they are deserving of praise and positivity I give it; it’s their own fault if they haven’t been deserving of the latter for the longest time 🤷🏻‍♂️

    What gets me is that it's never worked. I've been watching you toss insults into the void for years now and nothing has changed as a result of it. But you keep doing it. You somehow manage to keep a negative, complaint filled pot of petulant drivel perpetually simmering on the back burner of these forums to absolutely no positive result. The only thing that I can come up with as to why you do it is that you think it makes you feel better - but you do it at the expense of anyone that happens to read your semi-coherent ramblings.

    My point remains the same, the rate that they’re releasing ships is pathetic.

    Thanks for showing me the forum guidelines, however I never said they were, but the rate that they’re releasing the ships. Thanks for your input that has nothing to do with ships on a post about ships.
