Aside from the leveling/gearing up potentially bad toons for a ship I still prefer having crew for ships unless it makes sense that they don't have crew.

I largely agree. But I don't mind crewless ships if they're meant to represent a very genric, filler ship. For instance, the Resistance had a whole lot of X-Wings at its disposal, but we're limited to two in the game--Poe's and Pilot's. Give us a generic, crewless "X-Wing" for every capital ship so we can fill up undersized fleets. Keep Resistance Pilot and her specific X-Wing, maybe rename her Resistance Ace or something to represent that she's unique from the generic ship.

It'd also be nice if this generic ship could be duplicated so that, in the case of Raddus for example, you could use it 4 times and field a full fleet of Resistance ships. I don't know if that's supported by the code as is or would require a major overhaul to implement, so maybe it's impossible, but it would be nice.

I do, yes. I think this game needs more generic characters, personally. And more characters with ability sets that don't read like a Lord of the Rings short story.

At least make them fairly easy to gear up then. No need for 500 Kyros and Stun Guns on these randos.

Sure, I dont mind some generic faces, but when they are needed as a requirement somewhere else...you know what I mean.

Another example is GarSaxon and ISC, good ship, benched guys, not needed anywhere else. So how many ppl gearing them past relic lvl?

That’s shortsighted, though.

If a ship is solid and good, then the pilot IS the ship. You gear them up so that you can use them for ship content, which is already a significant amount of the game and only likely to increase as time goes by. ESPECIALLY now that crystals in fleet arena remain while squad arena is gone.

So you relic bistan, SRP/Garsaxon, ISC while the rebel/empire fleet in their prime time, instead of some GL/journey requirements?

I hope the bombers unique says if this unit gets shot once it will explode and takeout the entire resistance fleet with it ? just like in that movie they made XD

If the Resistance Bomber takes 5 turns, it instantly destroys the enemy fleet. If the Resistance Bomber is destroyed before it takes 5 turns, it instantly destroys the allied fleet.

No, because by then I had moved onto Malevolence so I had no need for better Rebels. But also this is a bad comparison because at that time you got crystals from squad arena, so there was a bias towards squad characters.

Now fleets contribute to the two sources of daily crystals—fleet arena and GAC. So, frankly, if putting a relic on Bistan and Pathfinder was going to improve me in both, yes, I would.

Another reason would be to have your pilots modded to help with ship gp deployed during TB.

I would be all for it! Resistance having a capital and only 3 ships is weak AF.

True, Rose wasn’t on the ship, but her sister was and that’s good enough for me.

But most importantly, it gives an otherwise worthless toon some use, which is always a plus. I haven’t started Rey yet, so I’m not speaking from the standpoint of someone who has her at 7* and geared either.

Also, is this someone spitballing ideas or has Resistance Bomber been confirmed as a real thing coming to the game?

Rose's sister incoming :#

hopefully

We don’t need more resistance characters let’s use what we have.

I'd rather have Paige Tico for a Resistance Bomber.

IMO, Rose Tico should be added to Raddus.

But realistically for the Resistance faction, we should've had these pilots by now:
-Ello Asty
-Tallissan Lintra
-Temmin Wexley
-Jessika Pava

Yes, it'll be more X-Wings, but at least CG can try to give different abilities to be different.
