proxima class refit, type 1 fleet commander

A few weeks ago, the developers of Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes drop the bombshell that a new holotable would open up: Ships! It was an amazing announcement that Holotable Heroes lost their sh…well they were excited about it. But that’s all they said. At the end of a very long email about changes and updates to the system, they through us an “oh, by the way, ships.” Thankfully, the people who run the Galaxy of Heroes official forum are pretty good about getting us additional information in a “timely” manner. So on Friday of last week, we were given our first official look into Ships! Here are the key takeaways and my humble opinion about them.

It’s a Huge Update

“The Ships feature is a major update – our biggest one to date – and so over the coming days and weeks we will be sharing information about different parts of the release.” “Huge update” is code for roll-out problems. And with roll-out problems comes free stuff. So if you notice that your Luke Skywalker is missing a head or a Teboo’s leader effect doesn’t trigger properly, be patient. Or don’t. Raise hell. The more they hear about it, the bigger your reward will be. Probably.

Fleet

“A fleet is a group of ships which (currently) start with a maximum of 5 ships in play and up to 4 more ships held in reserve as “Reinforcements”. (Much more on all of that in a later post.)” The real question is what ships are we going to see? I am thinking we are going to either get some generic trash ships to fill our fleets or we are going to get something awesome. Of course I’d like to see Luke’s x-wing, Slave 1 or the Millennium Falcon.
