Fleet commander ships

Might have missed it totally with everything that's been going on but.....does anybody know if the recent command ship events are coming back at all?
  • Moved to correct sub forum.

    Yes, all legendary events come back.

    No, unfortunately no one can tell you when.
  • Sooo, any reason why Chimaera is slow as a sloth compared to the other three? They are all 170+ at max level whereas the Chimaera is merely 153.
  • 32 of the top 50 in my shard are Chimera. Looks like it's more than capable at it's slow speed

    Chimaera has that cooldown increase move, which makes the enemy capital ships keep running just to stand still, so there's that.

    But on the other hand, Mace and Tarkin both can receive big turn meter boosts. Guess somebody must have done the math and figured that it balances out in a war of "he who launches his ultimate weapon first."
  • A Tarkin zeta Executrix is my favorite option. Chimaera' s "Insta Kill" special takes too long much like the Executrix Imperial assault, but it does have a more balanced approach by providing healing and buffs. The biggest draw would be that it has two AOE attacks in Phylon tractor beam and strategic dominance. And unlike other cap ships Chimaera doesn't deal direct attacks, but instead does so through a proxy of your choice. I personally always pick tie pilot, Vader or slave to do the attacking so I can also get target lock. If you run sun fac it will target lock because it is attacking out of turn. And the 35% boost in offense is very nice, especially couple that with the boost in crit damage and crit chance it provides you can literally have a one hit knock out depending on the target.

    In terms of speed, you can add tie pilot in the line up and hope the rng will give you evasion to boost chimaera turn meter or run tie reaper which will slow down your opponent capital ship, but I only have tie reaper at 5 stars right now and it doesn't take too many hits so it's not a viable option yet.
