They desperately need to flesh out ships in general. There are like 100 million ships in Star Wars but only ~20 make it into the game.

Like no A-wing, B-wing, Y-wing, Tie Bomber, or Tie Interceptor from IV-VI. Also Anakin and Obi-Wan's Jedi Starfighters, and the V-wing from the prequels. That's not including the Tie Defender or the YT-2400 from rebels.

Capital ships like Invisible Hand for Grevious or Dooku, Raddus for Holdo (though I'm sure that is coming). Hux seems like a good candidate for a capital ship too.

Next time i come across a really OP GW team, I should screen cap it.

I need ~90 VHan and ~150 VChewie shards for JTR and will be able to get ~50 from cantina while her event is ongoing, is it worth buying the 50/50 shard pack and use crystals (~7200) for the remaining shards to get her?

What FO units do you have and what gear are they? I ran Phasma Kylo FOST FOO FOTP with most of them at G8, Kylo and FOTP at G9. After I moved over my mods from my Arena team I was easily able to complete the 7* fight.

They should just release a ton of ships that don't have associated pilot characters to flesh out the ways you can build fleets. Give me A wings and Tie interceptors but not yet another crappy pilot to train and gear. Just give the ship exclusives a bit lower power cap than a G10+/full skilled piloted ships. Right now there are barely enough ships to fill the 4 capital ship fleets and that's only going to get worse as they add more capital ships.

No.

If you were close enough that the pack would finish you off along with natural farming w/3x refreshes a day, I'd say go for it, but if you're gonna have to drop 40-60 bucks in crystals just to finish them ON TOP of the pack, then no. Just wait 3 months for her to loop back around.

If that pack is only 20 bucks, I'd say buy it anyway. I can't remember how much it cost.

It's a first rate zeta for TW defense and TB, along with having some use in the sith raid. Fire away.

It's been requested that I communicate on here. Specifically regarding raid comps that are working.

tldr:
JTR, BB8, RT, Scav, +1 (R2)
Veers, Shore, DT, +2 (Thrawn, Snow, Starck)
CLS, Han, Chaze, +1
AV, Daka, Aco, Talzin, Zombie (can sub for MT/Zombie)
Nebit, JScav, Datcha/Jawa, JE, Ewok Elder

The primary good comp is zJTR, BB8, RT, Scav, R2. With one zeta and g11s (I still have G10 Scav), you can consistently put down 5 million per day in T6 (yes, even after Expose nerf). Running this one comp daily will do the most for helping us get through this raid quickly (SM will have more than 20 after this round of JTR, which is over 100mil per day).
The next comp that is consistent across phases is some mashup of troopers and DT. A very popular comp is Thrawn (L), Veers, DT, Snow, Shore. I often run Veers (L), DT, Starck, Shore, Snow. You can run other variations of this, but you get the idea. Veers, Shore, and DT are usually in every comp because Veers and Shore generate TM, Shore heals, and DT applies deathmark, which is most of your damage. Thrawn is great in here because each hit of fracture triggers DM. Similarly, Veers' aoe/assist call triggers a bunch of DMs. This is particularly good on P3 where you can topple her and even apply two stacks.
CLS (L) rebels can pretty consistently put out 1-2 mil in a phase. You want Chirrut and/or Rex for Tenacity up in p1 to prevent Defense down and stop DN's CD Up ability.
In P1and P2, you can run a variety of comps that capitalize on JE's detonators. One runs Jyn (L), Cassian, Bodhi, Hera, JE. Expose dmg + Detonator dmg. The other (easier) comp is Nebit, Jscav, JE, Jawa or Dathcha, and a healer (preferably Ewok Elder). With the first comp, you want to use debuffs (including Bodhi and Hera assist-calling JE onto DN) to trigger expose. Combo of Expose and Detonators makes for a lot of damage. With the second comp, just completely avoid damaging DN, and have JE always basic DN. This way DN doesn't stack tenacity at all, and when he damages your jawas, he gets detonators from JScav. In P2, it's harder to do as much dmg as P1 (2-3mil), but you need to run someone who can dispel Sion's taunt. DN or Sun Fac work well for their dispel on basic. Same concept though, try not to increase Sion's tenacity so that JE can land detonators. I landed almost 1.5mil with Chirpa (L), FOO, DN, JE, EE in P2 using this strat, with only 4 annihilates from DN. It's possible to hit 3mil in P1 with the Jyn comp, and 2-2.5mil with the Jawa strat, with relatively ungeared people.
Nightsisters are a consistent comp, do best with Zombie to charge AV up, but since most people don't have stars for her or MT, it's still fine with AV (L), Daka, Talia, Init, Aco.
For P3, a lot of the above strats work with small variations. You generally need a little bit more healing. I've actually theorized a comp using zLumi, Chaze, Han, R2, because zLumi spreads hots, and Chirrut's unique will keep up with Traya for quite awhile, especially if you stack everyone with some extra health. R2 is there for buffs and his zeta.
P4 is just everything all over again.

Heed my words and become a master of the Heart (of Thorns).
So i asked a little while back what to get for my next zeta and was told rHan. I didn't get around to doing it (because honestly thats a boring zeta since it just gives you a bit more rHan instead of a gameplay change) and shortly afterwards they released the Vader and Palpie zetas as well as all the new sith stuff.

Im coming up on having 3 zetas now and its time to start using them. I find a lot of the dark side characters quite interesting and wouldn't mind using zetas here to get a strong dark side team. I am also getting top 5 in fleet every day and have been considering zetaing some pilots since i am already funneling almost all my resources into my pilots. This would mostly be to get stronger ships though, as those zetas aren't very useful elsewhere (?) (E.g. Boba Fett zeta)

My options:
Put more zetas on my crappy barely top 200 arena team: zCLS, zR2, Leia, rHan, Thrawn
Put zetas on a dark side team, i already have G11 Vader, Palpie, TFP, Thrawn, GMT, G10 Shoretrooper, G9 DTrooper, (and am starting to farm Veers soon)
Put zetas on my pilots (vader, boba fett, FOTP)
I would like to score better at HAAT, since i can barely scratch that raid atm and QGJ only have a few players kill most of the raid, its about time i pull my weight here. I have all the characters required for that super duper meta team (cls, ackbar, assaj, thrawn, bb8?)

Honestly have no idea what to do, there are too many good options.

If your goal is improving arena and raid performance, short term, han is the obvious choice. (The Big Mix type teams for HAAT basically operate on a core of CLS/BB8/Thrawn or R2. Assaj in the last spot with a zeta is one option, but Han and Ackbar work great too.) Assaj’s Zetas are good but if you don’t have the other nightsisters in shape, you’re basically doing a zeta just for HAAT which I wouldn’t reccomend.

Palp’s zeta is amazing for DSTB and of course for arena/TW, but does need some supporting pieces. Vader and Thrawn and Shore can fill out a team nicely, but you really want Darth Nihilus in that last spot if you can get him.

You shouldn't. They want to make the most wanted characters require the most time or money so you want to spend money on getting them.

Who would panic farm for Gammorean Guard? Unless they overpowered him, at which point you'd be left wondering why the main characters suck so bad compared to the obscure characters.

The only real difference between a legendary toon and a heroic journey toon is the Hero's require a legendary to unlock them.
