the latest kick in the **** is i can't even do the new challenge tier for ship omegas. unlike most people i was running mostly light side ships with windu leading, so i do not have and can not get a 6* executrix. apparently the complete lack of balance in ships was not punishment enough for using light side, now i lose an opportunity to strengthen those ships that all the dark side fleets get.

i'm trying to find a bright side to this mess, but it's just one middle finger after another in my direction.

with respect mate you've only got yourself to blame if you haven't planned accordingly for what is a clear advantage for DS in ships up to this point. It's no secret. Tarkin was the best capital ship before Thrawn.

There are some guides out there advising newer players to play to strengths with Phoenix and go all in on Home One so they can go straight to Chimaera, while doing the bare minimum with Tarkin to get to the zeta challenge. Choices? Sure, but it wasn't necessarily bad planning on a newer player's part, it's bad luck that this dropped before their rosters were more developed.

I can see the logic in that but i don't see why you couldn't be working on both. you don't need phoenix geared high to get chimmy. gear 8 will do fine. it's more having the rebels to get ackbar to 7 that's the much more difficult challenge. that can be mixed up with wiggs, who are still good in the game.

at the end of the day unlocking chimmy with no DS ships to go with it seems a bit pointless. so i'd try to get a more balanced approach between the two, although i appreciate it's difficult.

sometimes people on here (including myself) forget that not everyone's been playing since launch so I appreciate your point.
