Someone mentioned that these smaller players will not have the relic 8/9 mats anyway. I disagree here strongly. While it is hefty, you can buy the mats with chrystals.

That’s true, but with the kind of price tag that such an investment would be needed surely such sums of crystals would be better spent elsewhere, especially for earlier game players.

I would say it depends on what you're going for.

From the beginning I concentrated deeply on fleets because I knew, getting a good position will enable me to get more crystals which in turn enables me to grow my roster faster. Which is why I could afford all the refreshes in the last 2 chases and buy the relic mats for R8 and 9 for the new fleet. So to me for example it is no question that I will be going for the new fleet so I can keep the Status Quo on my crystal income.
Also, eventhough it is not much, the new Raid currency also can be used to buy some relic mats. Maybe not so many, but still better than nothing. ?

After all this is a resource management game and players can choose what to spend their crystals for which is why it wouöd be nice for newer players to be able to also make those decisions (being able to get the necessary toons and ships).

In relation to those whom think everyone wants everything right away: I don't think this is what OP meant. It at least is not what I mean. But if a character or ship is in the game for a longer time, I think it is not unreasonable to wish for them to be made more available exactly because they are not the new shiny anymore. CAT for example is in the game for how long now? 2 years? She is "needed" for GL Kenobi so of course it is understandable that players wish for her to be more available down the line.
When someone now decides for their first GL for example it is not the same anymore as it was for those longer players. For them it kind of was decided which GL they would get because of how they were released. But now a new player can choose between 7 GLs, which is actually quite nice, so I understand where OP and others are coming from.

But as I said in my previous comment, as with everything else I believe they will be made more available along the way.
