please take ‘Capture the Beacons’ back when the MM system can make sure all players have four ships, or at least two teams’ total ships is equal.
when the mm system put some players who only have one ship into the ‘Capture the Beacons’,              
Much as I love CTB and am glad to see it reintroduced, without forcing people to bring 3 or 4 ships, there will always be complaints about this gamemode’s balance
lol I slot 4 ships always due to someone saying loot chance is better with 4 ships slotted BUT I didn’t mod them all out with guns ammo or act mods and went in with a destroyer and 3 naked ships when doing the broker missions O.o Needless to say we were slaughtered, and yes it only takes one player to be a total fail.
slotting four ships gives you the ability to choose which one is the best in your and your teams current situation.
being lazy about it kinda shows, that the freedom we get here, isn’t used properly.
a queue for each game mode won’t work
maybe they should just move down unlocking 4th slot to entry level of hard (R10) and make hard a 4-ship-queue, keep medium 1-4, without CtB.
I do also do my destro mission with one ship only sometimes, but that is the exception, I am told to farm. So I follow the example of other lazy bstrdz and be like it. But if I join PvP queue, I actually see it as dishonorable, not to think about equipping a few ships to cover multiple situations, and I despise people doing it, and the fact, they are doing it, because they don’t care, not because they don’t know better.
Sometimes i feel like im really bad at explaining, a simple counter and sorter would fix the uneven numbers of total available ships in each team plus destro counter and sorter plus the general players skill however its calculated, the solution seems simple but the issue could probably be in the unreliable player skill calculator that can go haywire most of the time. It’s just me thinking out loud, dont bash my face in xD
