Platoon Requirements

We are trying to organize our TB effort by getting an overview of how many of the rare toons the guild have. To that end it is useful to know how many times a toon/ship can be needed in the same phase. - And are all toons equal when it comes to this?

This will require a bit of data collecting, so please share the platoon info you find and post then like this:
Bistan (7*): 4 + 2 + CM
- meaning that the demand of Bistan with 7 stars was 4 in the middle (north in phase 2) Platoon mission and 2 in the southern one AND he was needed for a CM (as a R1 toon).

Not all toons are of interest, some toons all guilds will have available in large numbers, like Jedi Consular or ST Han. I have made a list of the toons the is most critical, either because they are hard to get, horrible or used in other parts of the TB. This ranking is highly subjective and guild depended - so feel free to include other toons as well :)

Reserved for data B)

I applaud what you are trying to do and patterns will emerge but you are going a bit overboard.

1. You list 45 characters of "interest", way to many points to track/be useful for TB where you are trying to herd 50 cats. A lot of those are not even rare/difficult to get, pretty much characters in the GW or Cantina and even Arena Store should be common/covered, the hard node characters will most likely be the rarer ones. You also mention Hermit Yoda which I don't think has appeared in any platoon. Now obviously this is really situational depending on the veterancy of the players/guild, newer guilds will have more gaps...

2. Just a suggestion but your "format" is a bit complicated to get the data you want. Just ask for what was the highest #s you have seen for what character, what character. Which characters stopped you most from completing a platoon. Yes there is a pattern where toons are, Phase 5 had a whole bottom row of phoenix in the bottom territory but I think even though this is true still doesn't really change the fact at the end of the day there most likely will be enough randomization that you need to focus on coverage as stated is your original goal.

To answer your initial question of how many of a character was needed: I heard directly from shard/guild mates that the # can be up to 11 and even 12 times in a single phase. The 11 was Lobot, can't quite recall the 12. Though I directly saw 5-6 being common each phase for my guild.

Toons my guild ran into issues with (88m GP):

Wiggs: Wedge is just the strongest rebel lead, biggs is his partner. While you can generally get away with giving up biggs, wedge is more difficult just because his leadership is sooo good for TB.

Chaze: Mixed bag here, lots of people still don't have them complete but we did hear from guildies not wanting to give up their g7 Bazes. These are like wiggs, a critical combo.

Resistance: While these were not difficult for us last time around, they will soon be since they are sooo effective in later phases, more guildies will farm them and not want to give up their "wins"

New Ewoks: still p2p all paploo and logray were a auto no for us phase 5+

Falcon: duh, though we didn't see more than 1 in any given phase.

Phantom/Ghost/Gauntlet: at around 5-6 stars... These will drop from the list within a month or so since they are in fleet.

Kylo Shuttle/Reaper: just like ewoks but worse since impossible to farm beyond 3-4*

Is any other guilds getting Platoon 1-4 the exact same? No way to finish them as they are identical.

Yes.

Our 1-4 were all identical but no problem filling them with only 2* required. Will be more complicated if it's the same way in future territories though.

Same here, and it included a Baze. As we have only a couple Bazes in the guild we're in trouble.

Yes, this is broken. Looks like some more client restarts are in our future.

I'd suggest renaming the thread title... I have a feeling a lot more people are going to be asking this question. Seems all 1-4 platoons were identical with only 5&6 being unique.

Confirming, same. But at 2* it's a non-issue as of now.
