    That Matchmaker(tm), and EventMatchmaker(tm) have this odd tendency to put extra boats of your type in your match, and particularly on your side?

    This is always noticeable to me when I take out a secondary boat. Today I've been trying Enforcer in the event, and it's been a tragic fail. The problem is my Enforcer is weak (low-level single Tesla Shield), and so are most other enforcers at my Infamy/GS... but EventMatchmaker(tm) keeps putting weak Enforcers on my teams as a sadistic "compliment". Here's the boat balancing for my most recent matches:

    Friends. vs. Unfriends
    3 En, 2 Sh. vs. 2 Sh, 3 Sp
    2 En, 1 Sh, 1 Sp, 1 Fx. vs. 3 Sh, 2 Sp
    2 En, 3 Sh vs. 1 En, 3 Sh, 1 Df
    4 En, 1 Sh vs. 1 En, 3 Sp, 1 Df
    1 En, 2 Sh, 1 Sp. vs. 2 Sh, 3 Sp
    2 En, 1 Sh, 2 Sp vs. 2 Sh, 2 Sp, 1 Df

    Record 0-3-3. That's 14 Enforcers vs 2. Remove mine and it's still 8 Enforcers vs 2. So my side gets 7x the amount of crappy Enforcers as the unfriends?

    I'm so used to seeing multiple Shooters in my matches that I've become blind to this behavior, but it sure jumps out at me when I take out a Speeder or Enforcer... and even when I fleet with a Fixer I see an increase in double-Fixer teams. This has been going on as long as I can remember. Does anyone else notice this?

    Yup... Usually 5 shooters or 3sh+2def or 4sh+1def against 2-3 yellow boats...

    Out of curiosity I ran the stats over my past 45 matches and my perception was correct.

    Highlights:
    28.89% balanced my ship
    8.89% had more of my boat on other side
    60.00% had more of my boat on my side
    22.22% had significantly more of my boat on my side

    Interestingly enough, this happens primarily when I run yellow boats.

    11 more matches with Speeder... results skewing even further toward my observation

    26.79% equal number of my boat type on both sides
    8.93% had more of my boat on other side
    62.50% had more of my boat on my side
    28.57% had significantly more of my boat on my side
