My theory is they're going to make us farm seperatists hardly anyone has for the nightsister update. With 2 weeks notice of course.

Hey Chilli when you posted that put a Zeta on Rey meme before, was that joke advice or good advice? I can never tell from just reading zeta descriptions if they're going to be good or not.

Rey's Zeta is not good.

It's mainly useful for Resistance HAAT P4 gimmicks (keep the B2's alive and dazed so you can use them as expose batteries during topple), but even that job has just been taken away by BB8 existing.

Thanks. My next one is going on number cruncher or it binds all things anyway but like I said, reading the zeta abilities sometimes doesn't really give an idea of how good or rubbish they are so it's nice to have advice.

e: I'm leaning towards R2's because my current goal is a g12 fully potency/speed modded resistance team because I've faced some in arena (they're always the ones with chinese or japanese characters for names that always seem to know what the gently caress they're doing) and I literally do not get a single turn. And they're really fun to play with, more so than any other squad.

I think they want to get to the point where players won't immediately have everything they need for every new challenge to diversify the characters on rosters.


Anybody have tips for beating the AA 6* challenge other than pray that the AI bugs out and doesn't reinforce or use Mace's shield?

Right now my team is: Wedge 7*, Biggs 7*, JC 6*, Ahsoka 6*. After that I can choose from Poe, RP, and CS in descending order of ship power. On strat I saw was to use Republic/Resistance ships to absorb the opening volley and then reinforce with Biggs and better ships to focus on JC/Ahsoka first. I seem to die too quickly to do that, though.

There's a solid 1 use for Rey's zeta and it's P4 Tank.

Question about capital ship speed. If you both have the same ship, at the same stars and level, how does it determine who goes first every go around? There's no gear or mods for increasing speed of these ships, so in theory they would both go "at the same time", but obviously they can't. I think it's just random, in my experience, like opponent went first the first time, and when the TM came back to full, I went, and on like that, but I didn't know if there's rhyme or reason surrounding it.

Basically, if we both have Tarkin, how does the game determine who gets to bring in the TIEs first? Because that's kind of a game changer.

People have mentioned that the next capital ship is rumored to be dark side, and would be Nute Gunray. But, wouldn't General Hux make sense, since Episode VIII is coming out soon, and he would realistically be the head of a ship like that.

Yeah, that makes a ton of sense. I think people are just assuming they'll pull a dick move like making you suddenly have to level Nute Gunray to use the new shiny ship.

I'm very biased since I 7*ed GG months ago and have to settle for a 5* BB8 because I wasn't clairvoyant enough to farm obscure FO long ago, but what if they did both? A cap ship for an easy guy to farm like Nute, AND a bone to us sad sacks who have up til now, wasted months and months on a worthless toon. Unlikely they'd drop 2 Separatist capital ships though.

Yes, this will probably include Nute Gunray/GenG admiral ship.

I really hope they don't add more capital ships without any other ship content... PvE would be great but at least some method to obtain the Reaper, Kylo's ship, Falcon. New ships would be good too. The mode has been kind of completely ignored for months now.

At least if they added a separatist capital ship, the various geonosian ships (and darth maul) would have a home.

TFP was last October's login toon.

They didn't actually apply the part of the patch that changes the login track, so it just used the only October value on record.

Eh, those shards have a seemingly endless series of steep competition. I mean, I buy them whenever I see them too, but that's since the beginning of fleet last year and I'm still not done.

a 1 year long grind should never be something called "not that bad a farm."

Thrawn could come mid-month or next month, noone knows.

It's a dick move to have 2 R2's before they bring thrawn back, but here we are.

Thrawn might be a free 7* empire character to get r2. Why would they give you that when you could have to panic farm royal guard or stormtrooper?

It's never a waste, when you'll need them soon enough anyway.

Every 7* is a 7* you'll never have to farm again.

I'm quitting them game if they go to 8 stars.

I was only able to get a 5* Thrawn the first go around and I was hoping to use him to get R2 up to 7* (only 6* atm) ... So ya I'm sure they will dick us by dickily making Thrawn after R2, dicks.
