I've been talking to my guild mates and they all hate ships... I mean, they hate it. I'm in a good guild, with lots of 3-4 million power level players! Sadly, I have to agree with them, I loved ships when I started playing, but they are pointless now because of Hounds Tooth and M Falcon. I get meta shifts, and I get that there are ways to deal with Hound's Tooth, but it is inherently boring and dumb.... utterly dumb, to have characters that can literally get hit 10, 20 or 30 times in a row, and literally take ZERO damage. It might not be so bad if HT did not auto taunt so much. It's crazy, stun causes you to lose a turn.... removing turn meter slows you down, but Hound's Tooth is effectively stunning your entire team, over and over, till you get the right reinforcement or a lucky critical hit. Every shot that hits him, stacks his defense, which is a lost turn... so lose turn, lose turn, lose turn.... hope for the best. It's a really bad game concept and utterly stupid in practicality or reality.......

I hate that cg changed the format from 5v5 to 3v3 opening lineup.
I hate bad design like ht. (i have a literally maxed ht, but its ridiculously op and not fun)
I hate that CG killed diversity (ht and m f)
Then thank you to those of you who opt to not participate in ships. I was lucky and entered my ship shard at number 3. At that time there were no crystal rewards, but the fleet currency was incentive enough. I have always invested in my pilots first, and I much prefer the current 90 second victories in fleet than the five minute revan mirror matches.
Funny, that's almost exactly how I see RevanDome, er squad arena.
Then CG released 2.0 when it went from 5 to 3 starting ships, which drastically increased the effects of RNG on the outcome of fleet battles.
Then CG released two meta-manipulating ships (HT then HMF) to force players to either farm those two ships or fall in the rankings.
I now detest ships, fight 1 or 2 battles/day just to get into the top 50 for some free crystals and haven't refreshed in months. Ships, like many of the recent CG decisions in this game, have gone south.

I beat the REAL T7 Yoda (not the nerfed one) and did so before mods were there to help

I hope once people start getting these newer ships to higher levels more diversity comes out. But this doesn't stop me from "liking" the game mode.
awesome sample size
Your reasons are epic and extremely compelling
All the more reason to like ships - it's a heck of a lot less investment to rake in 400 crystals from fleet than it is to rake in 400 crystals from squad.
They are frustrating and not any fun. So I don’t bother with them.
Excellent point. Agree 100%.

since HT and Falcon... I will agree with frustrating that AI advantage is killer in mirrors
So, you like crystals, that does not mean you like ships.... I agree with a lot of people here who said the reason it's easier to get to top spots is because the pool of players competing in ships is much less.
Thanks everyone for the comments. It seems most of us overwhelmingly agree HT and HMF just ruined the event by removing all diversity creating a boring meta.
Falcon ruined Ships singlehandidly.
We finally got it going good after ships 2.0 came out and ruined ships
We finally got some good action.
Then the Falcon nation attacked.
Honestly since Shuttle came out, a Vader/Shuttle combo makes swift Work of HT, Shuttle call- Special on Vader- Vader specials HT, Vader shoots HT, HT at near death with no tm and dots/buff immune.
Problem of course is the Falcon now, its the Falcon that really ruined things. HT was never really that bad. I used to beat it and come first all the time with Ahsoka's ship.
But all strats just went completely out the window when Falcon came out and ships became one meta team and nothing else. Making it totally boring.
Next time the Falcon comes out there will be no diversity in arena and EVERY single fight will be like Squad arena. Mirror matches from 200 to 1.
