I didn't treat as much as I had hoped, but that was life being life.

As for ship adding, I matched on solo and treated solo and a gen ship. Thanks to the new and sparkling app, looking for treats was easier than ever, so no increase of work involved either. If Shipoween doesn't return, I'm fine with having ships on board.
If Shipoween runs again, I'd say return to character matching as Tot's "unique selling point".
