Toons are fine. The game is what it is.
However, ships, I agree were released very awkwardly. I guess, now, eventually, one day, I'll finally unlock the Tie advanced if RNG is with me.... Which will give me two ships and a 3* Reaper which i still... somewhere.
It's just, where are the base level ships for the one dark side admiral we do have? I'll be fully honest, I invested some time into Tarkin because I wanted him to be my admiral. I gambled wrong. I had to do a fairly big turn around for Mace. Going republic when I had focused on empire put me so far behind, I'm still working on climbing back up the ranks of ships. (I grant I did need to invest to get the Zeta challenge, but it really doesn't change the arena situation)
And now, I've invested in Mace and the republic... Mace and Plo's Taunt round-robbin is doing me very well. As I get the interceptor, reaper, maybe Gar saxons mandalorian whatever, I don't know if I even care anymore.
Royal guard should have had an interceptor FROM THE BEGINNING. And did whatever they needed to bring in a Tie bomber. Three base level ships minimum, from the start.
But man, we got them geonosian ships for, uh, when the Hive mother gets her beehive-butt Admiral ship and shoots mind control worms at you from space. Oh, wait, those worms can't stand the cold.... NM.............
