Ships..... lame and AI cheats

If it weren't for Zeta credits I wouldn't even bother. So lame. Teams far below me routinely beat me or I have to win barely. Don't even start me on the Tie Fighters dodging 4 times in a row. What the beans is that. Ships have lots of potential but, as is no fun and rigged

Better get ready for more ships and ship content or you are going to get left behind.
Left behind what? Ships exist for one reason; to get zetas. That's the only purpose that "game" serves. Once you can auto the ability mat challenge, continuing to build your ships up becomes near pointless. The rewards for ranks are so similar that there's no real need to fight for the top spot; especially since there are no gems rewarded. Just not seeing much point in investing in ships right now, and without a major update to the rewards, that won't change.
Can't wait to see his cry post when new ship stuff is released and he crys that he can't complete it for lack of ships.

Plus, that new game mode. Now is the time to Really get those ships going!
I mean, come on. There's always the potential for an event that requires you to build up something you didn't already have. When it happens, you deal with it. Assuming that people will "cry" because they don't have enough of something they could work on? Sure...if you've the emotional balance of a three year old.
Will be great if daily arena fleet erase from daily challenge. They're so lame that i'm so lazy doing that, just auto-ed them.
I find the battles interesting and trying out different team combinations and figuring out how to beat a superior power opponent challenging. I have been in the top 10 in my fleet shard for the last two months now and I love watching how people around me are changing their teams and then fighting them to see how I fare.
I don't understand why so many people hate on ships, but everyone also cries out for more game content >.>

Squads with lower power win in arena too. It's not rigged. On defense, the AI stinks - and no, it doesn't cheat and it's not rigged.
Think about what you are suggesting for more than 5 seconds - IF it were rigged (and it's not), is it only rigged against you?? Becuase if it's rigged when you're on offense, then the "rigged" AI would also play for you on defense. It's not rigged. The AI makes bad decisions and other fleets (even ones with lower power) might have better synergies, better strategy than the lame AI playing for you or just get plain lucky occasionally.
In game guild: TNR Uprising
I beat the REAL T7 Yoda (not the nerfed one) and did so before mods were there to help
*This space left intentionally blank*
Synergy + good battle tactics + crazy RNG > power rating.
Both in Squad Arena and in Fleet Arena -- although I feel like crazy RNG probably plays a bigger role in Fleet Arena.
Made the same mistake before zetas. Now I'm grinding dark side ships.
I run a mace ship and sometimes on offense I can use my ultimate 3 times in a single battle, when the opponent only uses the ultimate once.
I do feel the defense may have a slight handicap with crits, target locks landing and dodging (imperial tie fighter of course), but I don't find it too much. I'm told that my ship holds well on defense from shard mates. Some combos tend to perform well on defense, while others may be good on offense, but not hold well on defense. Have you tried looking into different ship combinations?
:edit: Just noticed this has been necrod so will likely be locked.
I've even faced a fleet that had no mods on ships, except 1-2. Even the capital ship pilot didn't have mods and the pilots were all blue gear level and mine were all gear 7 or 8 with 3-5 dot mods on them. Guess who won? Not my ships that had more power, higher level abilities, etc. I even used fleets suggested to work together and still lost. Why? Because the AI "rolls" max for itself almost every time.
Yes, the AI cheats. Yes, the fleet arena is buggy. These are reasons why "thousands" of people play in regular arena and literally "tens" of people play fleet arena. The Chimera is the first real "update" to fleet arena in a year (according to the youtubers who feed on GOH.)
Hopefully they pay some more attention to ships now and fix some of the issues because it is frustrating and tiresome. For each daily I just load it up usually and just auto fight. If I win, cool. If I lose, not a surprise.
You mean those highly maneuverable but shieldless (read protection) starfighters? How dare they translate it from the movie to the game! Having no protection but high evasion is by design. TIE Fighters are glass cannons they hit big but if you so much as brush past it, it's going to explode.
I agree big time. The damage output discrepancy auto vs. manual is ridiculously large. And of course comes the ability blocks with Wiggs. AI gets much more often than on manual.
The AI doesn't get extra damage, doesn't take extra turns, doesn't magically give the player's team extra hit points... If their ships are doing more damage than yours, then maybe it's because - wait for it - their ships are stronger than yours. I take #1 in fleet every day and actually know how to play the game, so it's easy for me to recognize how obvious it is that the AI doesn't cheat. If they could actually cheat, then why is it that I beat teams with 60k more power than me literally 100% of the time?
Seriously, you guys just aren't very smart. I can only imagine you're all 12 year olds that rage and scream about how your opponent is cheating every single time you lose. Pathetic.
Also, the amount of available buy outs in the ships department is ridiculous. The difference in ships power between Free-to-play and a Pay-to-win players is crazy. Granted, the difference in money spent is also crazy but I don't think I ever seen a game where you could basically buy out first rank. Sad.
What is even more disheartening than the two above is the "PvP and Rivalry" forum. Full of calls to circle-jerks. Now THAT is pathetic.
By the way, Platypoctopus, please get the fork outta'here with that literally 100% of the time. Seriously.
I don't think so mate. Take a look at how often the AI target locks you compared to how often you target lock them. It shouldn't take you long to figure out the truth.
90% may be an exaggeration but you get the point.
I usually target the ship with the least tenacity to get target lock and most of the time the AI gets one on my 40% potency ship before I can get on their 15% potency ship.
