Man, for relatively new players, today is like christmas morning. I love that they're giving full shard shares too, instead of the character tokens. Not only am I getting a haul of new characters I eventually wanted (Mace/GMT), I'm also starring up guys I was already working on like AA/JC.

I grabbed two of the big ship back, because... Ok because I felt like it. Made 2000 shard currency, in total, and I'm waiting to see what's up with ships before upgrading. Can't do much before getting some Ship Money in too. My best ship is, by far, Jedi Consular (I had him 7* and high level), and I don't want that to end up a waste of money.

I bet the next raid will be against a Super Star Destroyer or something. First phase is Ships. Then Troops. Then Ships. Then Troops. I bet it'll be poo poo.

I found out what the top guys on my ship shard are running: I think the smaller ship cards are a better deal if you already have most of the characters, only downside is you can't get the millennium falcon from them. I spent enough to get a couple 2-3* ships, so I can do the 2nd level of the challenges. The pvp payouts are surprisingly flat, so I don't worry about not being able to break into the top 5 or so

Other than the Challenges and Arena - there doesn't seem to be too much to do with Ships right now. I wonder when we'll get their version of GW / Node missions?

This is probably pretty obvious, but it seems like the best early tactic would be to go after ships/crew that have a combination of crew/ship availability from something other than data cards, so that you can star them up relatively quickly. Does that seem like a reasonable analysis? edit: man I hosed this up the first time Looking at the crosswalk for that, these are the candidates with dual farmability: Resistance fighter/resistance pilot Tie fighter/tie fighter pilot JC's starfighter/JC Gen Spy's starfighter/Gen Spy* Gen Solder's starfighter/GS* Wedge's x-wing/Wedge Plo's starfighter/Plo Koon Umbaran starfighter/5s Sun Fac sort of counts but you have to double farm him/his ship from fleet shipments. * GS & Gen Spy ships are notable because you can double farm them from fleet shipments and GW shipments. fishtobaskets fucked around with this message at 19:15 on Nov 22, 2016 |

They claim that some ships will be farmable, though they are not there yet:quote:The last hard node of Light Side/Dark Side Battles (Geonosian Starfighter - Soldier/Jedi Star Fighter - Jedi Consular) and the last node of Cantina Battles (Plo Koon's Jedi Starfighter Of course even getting to the last hard node of ls/ds isn't easy, but cantina wasn't too bad

Does anyone know which stats increase crew power? Gear leveling up doesn't seem to do anything for example. Also, I was originally thinking about skipping JC for Yoda event. Should I put him back into my LS/DS farming rotation since I'm already at 95/330?

I did some minor testing while leveling Mace from 4 star level 1 to 5 star level 80. The biggest increase in Crew Power seems to come from star level, but character level, gear, and (importantly) mods, also increase other ship stats. Of course, this was for the Capital Ship, but they share most of the same stats as the smaller ships.

Is there still a shot at 2x GW rewards or do we think that isn't happening at this point?

I assume the "Save your GW tokens" thing was because you can now spend them on ships, so if you have a load saved up you can spend them at each refresh and probably get some 2-3 star ships quickly to get ahead in the fleet leaderboards

Hey IGD we have a tank raid issue. While our clear times on the tank raid are getting marginally better raid participation is getting lower. I really think it would be a good idea to run some t5's or something because right now a lot of people have said gently caress this raid and are not having fun getting biweekly rewards that are frankly garbage. Almost half the guild did very minimal damage last raid and it's not a character or power issue because most of them did better damage on the first or second tank raid we did.

Tank is an extreme slog, though. I am guilty of not giving a gently caress. I just auto once a day because it's animations take so. loving. long.

Any reason we didn't try heroic this time? This tokens aren't going anywhere, and if we mess it up its only a 2 day loss, but if it's like the rancor the heroic version has way fewer HP.

So here was my initial strategy setting up my fleet. I leveled all the starter ships to 50, which is the point where you can increase their abilities. I leveled home one to 40 because that seemed like a balance point with my remaining currency and need to level the other capital ships. I then bumped up the level on everyone's basic attack. Finally, I leveled and geared the crew members as much as possible. It appears that ship health/protection, speed, and damage are derived from the crew member's power, though I'm not sure what the formula is.

So so you can get grevious shards on the space tokens shipments thing, 4 shards for 400 spacetokens, and you can earn 1200-1500 spacetokens a day if you place well in rankings. Expect to see alot more grevious!

Yeah, it's weird, cause my 5*, G9 level 85 TFP has 0 protection for his ship. Hopefully G10 6* will fix that...
