Ships still ain't cutting it
Hello, just want to drop in again to say that Ships is a failure in its current state. Average battle time of 5 minutes is absolutely way too long. One dominant command ship is no good. Ability mats for ships are scarce.
Fix please.
Fix please.

4x speed has helped so much for ship battles.
I think ships are stale because everyone runs virtually the same ships. There are not near enough ships.
Ships in the current state are very boring. If it wasn't for Zetas, I doubt anyone would bother with that part of the game.
Nail. Head.
1. The use of defunct characters to force levelling up of some of the most useless toons. (Example: Jedi Consular)
2. The deliberate forced grind for darkside ships and lack of attainable imperial fighters. Both required for Zeta and to level Tarkin's ISD.
3. The potential that TIE/Rebel variants will require me to have to level up a Defender, A-Wing, Y-Wing, Bomber, Interceptor pilot.
4. No PvE game modes. (Okay, so maybe levelling your capital ships is PvE... but you get what I mean)
5. Capital Ships don't feel tangible, it's hard to explain but the big ships almost feel like background art and therefore I feel disconnected from the space game experience.
6. It's pretty and all but there's something that doesn't flow right... The 5 v 5 plus back up ships, the fact that I'd rather auto it than play tactically, the over use of buffs, the time length and the list goes on.
How to make it more appealing? Not sure, but it needs something changing as right now I only use it to purchase fleet shipments and do my daily activities.
I actually enjoy ship battles but there is no progression when we spend all tokens on zetas so it has become stale and boring very quickly if you actually want to progress.
The purple ones. I have hundreds of the rest.
This is very true. The rewards for squad ship battles are pretty good, I'm able to get a zeta every other or every 3rd day if I don't spend any of my winnings each day...which is a lot harder to do when I see shards I really want ha.
I just want more ship content beyond arena.
also:
what metric are you basing the above on?
It is? 13 of my top 20 are Ackbar. Maul + Biggs under Ackbar lead seems to be the meta on my shard. Lots of different versions of it though.
Mace's ship + Target lock fleet allows you to spam Mace's AOE, or Mace + Republic ships spams protection healing and tosses taunts left and right so the enemy can't focus on one ship for too long making it very good for defense and just outlasting the other team. Tarkin + Target Locking fleet with the dark side ships can be extremely powerful as well. Ackbar's ship loses ground as you have all the ships at higher levels because the ships become tankier and his assists are nice for overall usage, but with specific fleet combos rather than just teams of random ships tossed together the other two are more effective. Ackbar is very good for lower level of ships when you don't have specific combos being used. I use ackbar currently as my mace and tarkin aren't geared or starred much and it works, but if I had Mace higher he would work far better with my mass of republic ships.
I don't farm zetas so maybe that's why i like it?
I farm mostly ships and some characters.
I use Tarkins Commander ship and i place between 17 and 45 everyday.
I place the same in arena as well so... not sure what to dislike about it
That's what I was wondering. I do a ton of damage with Tarkin and my dark side ships and the target locking with TFP, and other empire ships + synergy with GT is solid. My shard is mostly Tarkin and Akbar, so was not sure as to just how OP Mace is when he doesn't make up much of the leaderboards on my shard or others that people have shared with me. (in mine, he's only 2 out of the top 15, with the highest being at 7)
you only need to do 1 challenge and 1 ship battle. that's not a chore just auto it
you can even retreat if you so choose.
Also, more dark side ships that are attainable through farming methods would be nice. Cough... Vaders ship. There is really only.... 5 right now? Genosians, tfp and boba. Thats not really acceptable in my eyes.
Or, even better, remove the specific fleet commander req's from challenges.
Well I have to maintain my rank...
You don't have to but you want to, so do yourself a favor and stop making it a chore and make it a hobby
