Executor farming

For what it’s worth, I’m not completely ftp, but I didn’t spend a dime on anything, including crystals, for Executor and had it by the 3rd go-round. That includes using (not buying with real money) crystals for the r8 mats since I’m not in a guild that easily attains them. It helps that I can bank crystals fairly easily by only spending 3 energy refreshes each day on whatever area I’m farming, and I was ranking top 5 in fleet arena before Executor’s release. The “level” of ftp one is at matters a lot with crystal income, I’m sure.

I understand what OP is saying now, I had just misunderstood what he meant by “farming from.” Context obviously didn’t make it clear to me, but even if it did not everybody understands things the same way all the time.

Regardless of my oopsie-daisy misunderstanding, spending crystals to refresh the new meta toon/ship farm is a necessary evil -to remain competitive-. Despite them being out of competition, the original 3 cap ships still only run once a month, just like Executor does.

That being said, I can see why CG wouldn’t speed it up to 2x a month (like Finalizer and Raddus) because Executor is still very much a large part of the fleet meta(s). Which is what CG has always done for the new (or new-ish) hotness.
