Hi all...
I'm L82, very active... top 100 in normal Arena...
I have a reasonable crew, but can get nowhere in Fleet Arena...
ships are enhanced, levelled up etc etc etc ... but can't break #1000
I very rarely win a battle... it's frustrating to the point of giving up totally...
It just seems that there is something wrong!
Most of my friends are lower levels, but all in top 50 at least... some top 5!!
I'm at #1000
I don't get it really....

Are you Pilots at a solid gear lvl to go with the ships? I've been fairly successful since I had a good few pilots at a high lvl when I got their ships. If you were slow to progress then it will be hard to progress, but like arena once people all start arriving at max lvl for ships there will be more of a chance to catch up, but that will take a bit, just keep building where you can luckily you still get solid payout for finishing low..

Something tells me your strategy may be a bit off because the toons you've mentioned are better than mine and I'm at 100 in the Fleet Arena (have a great Wiggs combination so maybe that's it, plus an excellent Sun Fac and GS). What's your flagship/capital ship? What's the star level of that ship's captain? All that factors in to efficiency.
Ackbar makes it easier but Windu can last longer and with high Dark Side ships Tarkin is a beast.
could be less fortunate leaderboard placement aswell, facing players with way better pilots. top2000 seems a bit strange though.
It more than strategy or toons I feel... I know some that barely battle and still hold top 100... I give 5 or 10 battles a day and can't break #1000... something is just wrong!
Okay, that's two good ships, but what about the other five? Windu being geared isn't quite as important--it's not like he needs HP, protection, tenacity, or defense, so the only stats on a flagship that matter are speed, offense, and potency.
Consular at 7 is really good for his assist, but look at his stats and you'll see that he does almost no physical damage, and his basic only uses physical. So you have a really good ship for every 1 in 4 turns, and a fairly substandard ship for the remaining 3. Ahsoka is a glass cannon, so a couple rounds of concentrated fire and she's down--do you have someone to protect her with a taunt? Biggs is a fantastic tank in fleet, and if you're using Mace you can use his taunt to distract from Ahsoka.
You can't get by with two good characters. You need all of them to be 7 stars and minimum gear 7 if you want to compete. You also need to pay attention to your squad composition--synergy is useful, but a big freaking gun is more important. Imperial and First Order TIE Fighters hit like trucks even if you don't have Tarkin as your admiral.

Yeah I've purposely focused my fleet on all my highest geared pilots.
So I have Wedge, Biggs, Geo Soldier, Fives, Ahsoka and Jedi Consular as my main ships. All of them are 7 stars and at least gear 9.
I use Tie-Fighter pilot as my last reserve and he's 6 star and gear level 9.
My capital ship is Akbar's Home One. Akbar is 7 star and gear level 11.
I have been able to stay in the Top 10 ever since Ships started. Now, my shard isn't super competitive (my arena power is only about 110k), but bottom line is I focused my farming ships with my strongest toons.
Although now I am farming some Dark Side ships so I am gearing up First Order TP, Geo Spy and Sun Fac.
Its all about your shard. None of my pilots are even 7*
Sorry for your luck...
Fleet squad is AA L, JC, 5s, Biggs, GS, Poe
Abilities like omegas on characters effect ships? I had no clue
Yup, they aren't drastic increases but they do boost a ship's speed which is very important as currently mods have no effect on speed. This can be the difference between your capital ship going first or not.

Anyone Lvl 79 when ships came out will be far better off then someone that just got to Lvl 80..
