Ship Challenges are Too Difficult Now

This.

But I will also say the likely answer is no. I'm not sure why but the minimums they post for just about every event are less than accurate from my (and many others) experience.

I have also noticed certain aspects of this seeming to be rigged...ships is just more blatant. CG/EA needs to be more honest with requirements. They also need to tell us the drop rates for things like shards in the store. I don't want to spend hard earned money to buy a faction pack only to get 5 shards out of 330 almost every time. It is akin to gambling and EA is already in hot doodoo for this crap.

That's nice. I'm at 76 and I just completed the Lvl 72 2* building mats challenge with G9 7* Biggs, Phoenix, Boba, 6* Vader all in 6* ships except Slave 1 at 5*. I can't even kill a single enemy in the Lvl 75 Capital challenges. The point is that newer players are affected far more than people who aren't already max level with G12 pilots.

It was very hard to beat with the recommended level even before ships 2.0

Best to just ignore those

Yup the challenges have always been difficult. Nothing really changed just need to gear the toons for the ships your using. It makes a huge difference.

Minimum requirements are always a terrible guideline because typically they only work if you have a very specific set of ships, ability levels, and luck, and if you miss out on any of those 3 the requirements bump up.

They're hard.

I was finally able to complete Ackbar t5 after 2.0, so from my perspective it actually got easier. But yes, the requirements almost always way undershoot what you actually need. I wish they’d be more honest on them.

Biggs doesnt get a tl in 100 tries...what requirements when the system just cheats?

Biggs mostly doesnt even get a tl with advantage up (no crit immunity buff on other side). System is just laughable, especially considering the cooldowns of enemy are not correct. Neither is the amount of reinforcements. Nothing became more easy in ships 2.0...you can do it now more easily if you fully upgrade your ships with new mats. Thats it...3v3 sucks. TB ship battles suck. Sith raid p1 and p4 suck. Doesnt mean you cant win or do good damage. Its just unfun to play. And its a game in the end which should deliver one thing - fun. Thats why i bought a few chars, because i wanted to have fun.

EDIT:
Managed it

I hope more fun stuff like haat, tb and tw will be incoming...less random based and more tactical

Can anyone actually beat the ship challenges with the recommended stars/levels? For instance 5 starring capital ships and beating the tier 3 ship enhancement droid challenges are nearly impossible for me and I far exceed the requirements.

This is an issue that only affects players who can't sim all the challenges yet (newer) so I feel like its under reported and under represented.

Currently using lvl 80 plus with g8 and 9 pilots can’t even beat lvl 72 training droid challenge. I want to view enemy ship stats to solve this
