They did good by adding g12+ to shard store, although it's kind of annoying that it's a better source of them than hstr which usually gives 2 pieces of various salvage if you don't make top 10
But as others have said, we need so much more gear than we used to, it's not just a couple of stun guns to g11 or 12 anymore
They're needed for g12+, g12 salvage needed for relics
Adding gear to Fleet nodes hasn't helped at all, I've still got toons and ships I need to farm and they aren't quick farms
