Requirements to unlock the Chimera
It would be very helpful to know these. Seems like 5 rebel ships at 5 stars including ghost and Phantom but would that include Ackbar's ship? But it's new event could be different, maybe just 3 ships ...

I feel sorry for everybody except the whales. They haven't done a thing for ships in forever. Now they come out with this Capital ship that is probably going to dominate arena for the whales and only the whales. Nobody in their right mind would have sunk resources into Phoenix squad ships because they aren't that good. There is virtually no diversity in the make up of the top 50 fleet arena squads. The last time I checked, Akbar was lead in 4 teams on my shard in the top 50, so it's pretty obvious he's broke. Mostly Tarken leads with Windu coming is a distant second. The front five of nearly every team consists of Biggs, Fives, Vader, TFP, and usually FOTP, Fett, or GS. The bench is very similar too. Ships are a disaster. And to pour salt in the wound they had the battles for additional capital ship shards and I competed in everyone of them and still only got 45 shards for my Akbar lead. Now they are gone and I noticed they aren't available in the store (not that I'd buy them there anyway because it's a horrible shard to dollar ratio) so I have to ask...what was the point!?!? If you are not going to give us the opportunity to earn the upgrade through battle why have the event at all? Are you gonna bring it back soon? If not why did you even bother? Honestly ships are so messed up its not even funny.
Where's the idea that they're garbage come from? OH RIGHT, the massive, raging, throbbing, pulsating, veiny hate-ons this forum has for Phoenix Squad. Their ships are good, especially with Home One. Free target lock to trigger Biggs' taunt and protection recovery, give target stealth and have it assist along with another stealthed ally, all of which means buffs everywhere which gives Home One's AoE plenty of assists, and all of which give your characters protection up for days. They've got an AoE attack and an AoE buff along with ship-to-ship synergy.
Ghost and Phantom are really good ships. But to make them good you have to invest in Phoenix Squad and that's anathema to all the loudmouth meta-bois on this board.
I swear, it's like you guys made a deal with the devil where you get to finish #1 every day, but the moment you say "Phoenix isn't that bad" you'll explode in a cloud of sulfur or something... Get over yourselves.
