Im pretty meh about GS ship but maybe its because i dont have him geared that much.

For arena rewards i have STH and AA and Windu at 7 and ig-88 unlocked. I can already do the credit heist so should i push ig-88 more or maybe get hk-47 and then bounce back to ig88?

You definitely want both so you can put together a killer droid team for the tank raid. Maybe 88 first since he might get a ship?

I've come close to this and can probably match it with Wiggs/Raid Han/Lando/Rex. I probably need to switch out Rex because he doesn't get the wedge heals, but you can certainly go all the way to enrage with that team no problem (in the normal raid, not sure about in heroic).


Malgrin posted:

Yeah, I'm at double 3*. I'm buying 5 Baze shards anytime I have enough shard store credit, but since I'm using GW for AP/ships and actually have people to buy with the guild store again...he's really not going anywhere. I'm probably going to start gearing them for pvp anyways because they are that good. Wiggs are probably on the way out though...even with Chaze (Jyn, Cassian, and K2 appear to be better).



I'm focusing on Dark Side first because Zetas are important. For ships, I'm looking at TFP, FOTP, GS, DV, and BF. I don't see Slave 1 very often in shipments, but I'm getting there...TFP is 5*, while FOTP and GS are pretty close. My goal is to get DV's ship to 5* from this next one, I'm at 60/80 right now. If I miss him this time, I'll probably turn around and focus on Scimi cause I'm farming DM shards from guild anyways, but I might go for SF instead. I haven't started on either of their ships yet because I'm hoping for DV anyways.

I haven't figured out who my 5 LS will be, I've got 4 to 4* so far, Ahsoka, JC, Biggs, and someone else I think. My 8 5*s will definitely be those three plus the 5 up above before I do any other LS.

Baze shards are going out of the store after the next reset, it was in the patch notes for today.

Dark side ships: Sun Fac + Maul is a super good combo. Maul's special on SF means you end up with all enemy ships target locked after they attack SF and he counters. I am currently running them plus GS (his random assist does nice damage), Ahoska (dispel is super useful) and Boba. I have JC, Poe and Biggs as reinforcements.

I'm also planning on going for vader's ship hard, especially because Cassian's u-wing is a giant middle finger to iOS people, seeing as it needs K2 who we can't get unless we literally pay thousands of dollars. I could literally buy an Android phone for cheaper than it would cost me to get K2, and that is messed up. I gave the app a 1 star review on the appstore, hopefully they come to their senses and push the event out for iOS soon.

P4 Heroic is a lot harder.

Good to know.

Looks like Cassian's U-Wing is either a 3-pilot deal, or a pick two of Cassian, Jyn, and K2, so maybe not quite as bad?

it seems super likely to me that it's a 3 person crew. you can see the ship in the ships section. 3 crew abilities, a targeted assist, an unresistable target lock & tenacity down, and a targeted debuff remover + stealth

supposedly there can be ships with up to 5 crew, though I'm not sure what canonical ships would have that many.

The 5-person could be a gunship? or the Pre-Force Awakens Falcon? (Han, Chewie, Luke, Leia, Obi-wan)

I wouldn't be terribly surprised to see a 5 person Ghost in there, although they'd have to add all the Rebels to the game. It'd be something to hold them over between movie releases, at least?

I wish they had made ships open for other pilots, like a TIE fighter could be piloted by TFP or FOTFP, Jedi Delta can be piloted by any Jedi etc. But I guess that wouldn't require as much grinding! Gotta get that money.

Are ships with 2 crew twice as powerful as single crew ships? Or is the crew bonus divided by 2?

iGestalt posted:

But only 3 of them ever did anything right? 1 pilot and 2 gunners, maybe 1 navigator as well. Or is Obi-Wan manning the chess board?

I don't know how power breaks down, I'd imagine it doesn't do much. The primary contribution of crew is the ability you can use in combat.

Wedge's basic attack. It hits like a truck and adds to the damage of Bigg's assist attack.

Is anyone else just ignoring ships for now? I feel like whatever I get now is just going to be overpowered by whatever comes in the first big update. As much fun as the battles are, I also have 500 other chores to finish, like 7* Emp and yoda so I just use the ship currency to get gear and shards for characters I want to use in ships later.

I'm really concerned about the rate they are increasing power in this game. For the most part, over the past year, there's been a slow increase every few characters released. If you had Jyn, Cassian, K2, and Chaze right now, you would be unstoppable. This is all in one month. I hope this is a one off thing because of Rogue One, but I'd expect to see the same thing with each SW release, which is going to start getting a little crowded (EP8, EP9, Han, maybe Boba...and then Zahn is writing new novels...)

No, I'm spending fleet shipments on ships because I really want to start getting Zetas sooner rather than later. I was spending 2x GW on ships for awhile, but with Cassian coming out, and DV's ship, seems worth putting all that into AP.

Chilichimp posted:

They get more Crew abilities.

They also contribute power, and I think for Bistan you get more for having both than what other ships get, but I don't think it's 2x or anything like that.

I would probably do Biggs' or Wedge's primary. Wedge's secondary isn't bad, but his aoe isn't that amazing and it's just 4 -> 3 cd. STH's primary was one of the last rebel omegas I purchased.

Same, it feels like they've let the power creep get away from them completely and because they make money primarily off whales rather than a balanced approach each new release has to be more ridiculous than the last to encourage spending.

On the bright side, they are one of the few venues where you actually play the game, outside of arena and GW. And unlike arena, in tournaments I can actually try to fight uber whale teams (G11 Maze/Chirrut) with no consequences.

Drop - The rock is dropped and gains Taunt for the rest of the encounter.
Resolve of a Rock (Leadership) - All allies have +51 Defense and a 51% chance to gain Defense Up for 2 turns whenever they are damaged.
