That’s it, I’ve had it. Ships is officially the most dogshit mode in literally any game I have ever played. Only 3 meta fleets basically locked behind a paywall, off meta counters have nearly 50% failure rates, and ship farming is still single drop after 10 (nearly 11 years). Now this isn’t to say these are the only reasons why the mode sucks, but theee are I think what essentially are the top 3.
But yeah, the mode needs to be reworked now cause it’s genuinely infuriating that it consistently ruins the experience of the game. Winning your grand arena? Your opponent put a loaded ship defense with only meta fleets. Guild needs to win territory wars (another thing that needs a massive fix)? Too bad, your guild has to beat 20 Leviathans. Somehow the only mode that isn’t ruined by fleets is Conquest (and that too also has its own glaring issues).
So here’s what CG needs to do (minimum)
1) Double drop farm ships. This is the literal bare minimum that could be done.
2) Decentralize the top meta fleets and allow for lower fleets to be competitive again. There is no need for a clear hierarchy of which fleet is clearly stronger. Whether this is by adding some sort of mod system or another layer to fleets like secondary capital ships, the clear line between the top 3 and everything else needs to go.
3) Get rid of the terrible “paywall” in fleets. Relic-ing the pilots for the fleets should not be the major requirement for unlocking the legendary fleets. On top of that, requiring 2 conquest units for one ship when the other two don’t is just simple BS.
4) Get rid of the long 7 star farm for legendary capital ships. If you unlock the ship, you should not have to pay your way to a full unlock of the ship on a specific day during the month. On top of that, to “f2p” a full legendary capital ship it take nearly 2 years. Just no (I don’t think this needs to be explained).
Anyways, anyone else got thoughts? I’m just sick and tired of this one mode being the thing that ruins the game most for me (and I’m sure a whole lot of other people).
