Imo Galactic Conquest is one of the best additions this game had ever had. However, I believe we are starting to see some missed opportunities in relation to this new feature. I'm not going to complain about DCS disks being removed or the cost of removing disks because I think those have been a fairly regular gripe. I think the biggest missed opportunity in conquest revolves around the enemy squad compositons. Conquest would be an awesome way to let the players face the Acklay with other units instead of the required ones in TB. It could shine a spotlight on the Nexu, which most players don't even see, and provide a new experience without any real additional content. There are enough units in this game to make the bosses feel like a more cohesive journey, and the modifiers can bump up the ones that may be lackluster under normal circumstances. For example, we have four Lukes in this game, 3 of them are capable of fielding exceptional teams, why not place them chronologically as bosses to theme a GC? Start incorporating the big bads from TB and give each Conquest a theme and you'll be back on the right track to keeping this content fresh and engaging. I know there are other great ideas out there, what could improve conquest for you?

I know there are other great ideas out there, what could improve conquest for you?Could also be a way to have a death star type boss for ships. I still can’t believe that they didn’t include ships in conquest. It’s almost like they are actively looking ignoring ships on purpose. I would like an end button when you are finished with your run. After you hit end, all the disks and modifiers go away, energy goes away and it’s a sandbox. This would be even better if the Nexu, reek, AT-ST or any other boss were added.

The biggest improvement I think CG could change are some of the feats. There are several (looking at you Marked feat) that are incredibly repetitive. It can be real tedious over time.

There have already been numerous suggestions on how to improve Conquest and make it more enjoyable to play and experiment with:- Change currency needed for disc swapping- Add more variation and remove "duplicate" teams and discs from slices- Change feats- Change bosses- Add new team variations and new factions- Add a counter for feats, so progress is actually measured and understoodCG has instead chosen to simply make a few teams and modifiers more difficult and pretty much left everything else the same. While I agree, it is quickly becoming boring and tedious, CG has clearly no inclination to improve it - at least not quickly.

With using this to release characters, I would guess we will see changes each new toon, which could be as quick as 3 Conquest per.

I’m fine with the amount of rewards, sure more is always nice but that’s not the most important aspect for me.I’m fine with the difficulty, even though it would be good if we didn’t have to go in blind and actually be able to see the stats of both enemies with all modifiers applied and also so our own stats with current disks applied.But most of all it has to be fun to play and even if it isn’t CGs intention to make it boring and grinding it’s what they do when they feel the need to tweak details without fixing the bigger issues first. They have to ask themselves or check the feedback from the community, which changes will improve the experience without making it too easy and what changes are the lazy fixes to make it harder but it will also destroy the fun.And we need fixes to QoL things like feat counters and the duplicate selection grouping of teams and disks. This time around I was extremely unlucky with disks to select so I had to do it with almost no synergies. Absolutely nothing resembling a purple disk in sight either. Still no problem getting max rewards but it was just such a boring experience. And it was extra frustrating when I know conquest can be a very fun and creative experience.

Also, the all-LS/DS battles are awful. What’s the point of having a quasi-sandbox if we can’t theorycraft and try new things without being penalized?

It's not a sand box. It's prescribed play (feats) that penalizes experimentation (energy + disc-swapping costs). It's a mundane drag with the carrot of a new character that isn't obtainable any other way as the reason to trudge through.

TL;DR It's work. CAT is this month's paycheck.

Gifafi finishes today. He has four days to experiment for zero cost and with zero prescribed play.

Disc-swapping costs don't go away after you have max rewards. Sandbox ain't free. Which is why I stop playing the mode the second I've completed red crate.

Giraffe complained about LS/DS feats preventing theorycrafting. Nothing is stopping him now.

The modifiers. Can’t really theorycraft with the modifiers in place. Conquest would have great replay ability if after you earn the Red crate, you could turn off all the disks and enemy modifiers and turn them back on if you wanted. Then it would be a place to theorycraft.

even then you wouldnt be able to theorycraft that well cause of mods...

I really, really like this idea. After the red crate, it's a true sandbox. This is the way.
