Requirements to unlock the Chimera

Well I got thrawns ship at 7* and it’s fun but not meta like everyone thought,
It can be beat pretty easy with way weaker fleets at 6*.

I agree, this game does give out lots and lots of premium currency that you don't really see in other games. F2P can do well but that's not what we're talking about here. We're talking about the portion of the player base that wants to spend money but just isn't going to buy something of such terrible value. There are many people in my guild that would buy a more reasonably prices ship pack, including me. I have no problem spending money on this game (former whale here), I don't do much for entertainment aside from this game so I have money set aside for it but I simply won't buy something if it doesn't make any sense. Obviously it's working, the game is doing great. I feel it could do even better if the packs had more value and it would make the players feel better about spending instead of just feeling gouged by greed.

Before Henry Ford automobiles were made as luxuries for the rich and elite. He developed a product that was practical and affordable for the masses, and ended up making far more money in volume of sales.
I believe mobile game companies could learn a lesson from history. But what they are doing is working for them so I expect the status quo to stay for now.

Mercedes Benz were doing very well before Henry Ford came along and are still selling elite products and doing very well.

There are cheaper games....

Mercedes Benz...

Over priced junk.(not that ford isnt, just less overpriced junk) But you are sidetracking the point I think.

Yes people pay good money to be above other players, but there is a market for a mid tier pay to play thats above f2p and below super whale that just doesnt seem to be tapped.

There are cheaper games....

There are better games

You are right. There does appear to be a gap for a mid tier game. This isn't one though. Nor is it the best game. However it is very addictive.

Mercedes Benz are often expensive but only had a brief period in the 90s of being junk. Otherwise they have not been junk at all.

Even if you get 7*, unless you're sitting on a ton of prestige points, it's gonna be awhile before the ship will be arena viable. I had like 200 and I still have a long way to go to make it worth my time

Wow, so if Home One cannot be made 7* in time for the Chimaera event without paying, then the Chimaera event is a pay-only event. CG/EA has come close to this before but never crossed that line, to my knowledge.

I've bought a ton of stuff in this game but there is no way I will participate in a pay-only event, on principle. I will get my Home One for free next month and wait for whenever the Chimaera event returns.

Has 7* Chimaera.

Hahaha.

It'd be fair to say that many people are running low on prestige ability mats given that a lot of resources have been used for TB (e.g. improve capital ships to boost GP and TB points). Plus, the Chimaera event was again short notice...

Hence some people will unlock Chimaera but won't be able to fully max the abilities. Given the big sacrifices (e.g. money, resources, focus, time, etc.) we are making to be able to participate to this event, it would be fair if we could at least benefit from this ship to its full extent.

I don't understand why this event doesn't come with prestige ability mats and I really hope CG will recognize this problem and hopefully take remedial actions.

Thanks a lot @CG_Kozispoon

I'm using all my prestige mats to max out the insta kill thing so i can get cooldowns to 4. I'll deal with the other stuff as it comes along

Don't forget you get prestige in every fleet commander event battle.

I can't agree that it's a whale only event... I farmed all fleet store only ships whenever they appeared there (only Rex not maxed yet), so the 5 Rebel ships were at 7 stars before Chimaera wa even announced. 3399 crystals are needed to get Home One to 7 stars, and given that I'm (and thousands more are) getting 400 crystals daily for Rank 1 in Fleet, it's just 9 days of these new extra rewards.

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.
