Naboo Raid...
I want to start that I loved the Naboo raid at the start. It was a fun new puzzle to figure out. But several months on now I must say this is probably the single biggest chore in the game and I fully...

One of the issues with "mod loadouts" is that we currently have 275 characters in the game. We only get 200 mod loadout slots. That hasn't changed in years and more than once devs at CG have said, "Wait, it's only 200? We'll take a look at that." Yet, here we are with only 200, STILL.
And putting in effort is one thing, but the RNG being so expansive that one run you do 200K and the next one you do 1.8 million is just dumb and CG is relying too much on RNG to run their game.
I generally try to make all my mods as permanent as possible, to cover as many game modes as possible, for the sole reason of not having to spend any more time than I have to. Considering, and I don't even know how many times I have brought this up, we have Raids, TB, GAC, TW, Conquest, JG, UJ, etc., the last thing I need is to worry about mods. The only times I swap and use layouts is for JG events. So that part doesn't bother me, but I can imagine how frustrating it must be for other players.
As for the second part, about RNG, yeah, 100% agree. It happened to me who knows how many times in the Endor raid, it keeps happening now on Naboo. And for some reason, the current and the last run seemed to be a lot more difficult. I'm slowly improving my score (currently at 4M), but it just seems that recently I've had to restart much more than I used to. For the KB team, I went from G12 to R5, I can understand having to adjust my strategy for that team. But with Maul at R7, for example, I've only been upgrading my mods and getting a bit more speed, I've gotten used to the strategy behind that team, and it's still extremely RNG reliant, especially with that ridiculous bonus turn mechanic.
I'm in the same camp: I keep my mods as permanent as possible. Even to accommodate new characters do I rarely move them around. That's just way too tedious to have to keep shuffling them around just because.
The rng is pretty bad. My r5 Gungans can auto the raid for max score on their tier. However, it's not consistent with how many attempts I take to do this. I've done it in one or two attempts, but I've had some weeks I restart the battle well over a dozen times. In the previous raids I would manually play my strongest one or two teams, then auto the rest, but with the un-skippable cutscenes in this one and the constant attacks by the enemies it's just too much effort if I have to keep restarting due to rng.
I responded somewhere else in this thread about it, but I'd like to see more areas of this game, especially raids, be SIMmable, since the feature already exists in the game.
