Ship ability mat mk III system is broken
There has to be a change to the current system, as Ship mats MK3 are locked behind dark side ships to be collected and their characters maxed out. I didn't want dark side ships, and never cared about ...

I'm not asking to give everything to everyone, but to logically spread the materials between the 3 tiers. The 3rd tier gives Zeta and Mat Mk3, but the Mat Mk3 should already be in the Tier 2. Same with the Ability mats for toons, the Mk1-3 are available from Tier 2 onwards with increasing amounts. The tier 3 though is locked behind the challenges or paywall, which makes it unreasonable. By moving the Mats Mk3 to T2, it would allow me to still compete in the arena to certain level, while I keep building the DS squadron to achieve the Tier 3.
The change would be very insignificant to most, but very significant to those who are not the most vivid fans of the ship arena, but want to stay within the first 500 to be able to obtain DS shards at all.
They modeled this challenge after the regular ability mats challenge where only the final tier gives out omega ability mats. Just like the other regular challenges don't give out all types of gear at the lower levels.
The only reason that ability mats are the only one geared this way in ship challenges is because they are the only ship mats that have variation along those lines. It is certainly in keeping with how they set challenges up in general: Have to build healers or supports to do one, tanks to do another, attackers to do yet another... etc.
Fair enough on the design, but there are not enough ships in the game at the moment for this system to be so restrictive.
Either way, I will grind my way through the DS fleet to finally be able to get the mats. Hopefully I'll get there in couple of years.
