Hello, Everyone,

After reviewing the recent Gorefest event, I’ve decided to adjust the Cluster awards for Star Wars: Squadrons to better align with the time required for completion, particularly in light of the use of Custom Matches. During Gorefest, multiple members of the community and Fist staff demonstrated that a Fleet Battle could be completed in less than three minutes, earning 10 Clusters per match.

To address this imbalance, Fleet Battles vs. A.I. will now award 1.5 Clusters per match moving forward. This adjustment ensures the game rewards are more consistent with the effort and time invested.

I understand that some members prefer playing the game in its original form, and I sympathize with concerns about how this change might affect regular matches. However, all recent submissions for Squadrons have occurred during Gorefest and exclusively used Custom Matches.

I’m open to discussing this change further if anyone has alternative solutions or ideas. Please feel free to reach out via email or Discord if you’d like to share your thoughts.
