Ships are too much effort

The drop rates. The single shards in the nodes.

Ships aren’t the most popular thing, and the reason is it’s a chore. It drags. Way more than anything else. You could spend over a year farming a single ship to 7*. You could farm the entire Geonosian squad to 7* and G13, before you could farm Anakin’s star fighter alone. I have to force myself to even do anything with them at all, and the sheer ridiculous nature of drops means I only use the ship energy now for character gear.

I understand this is a pay to play game. I do actually spend a little bit on it. But there is no reward or joy in ships that make you want to invest there. Apart from arena, there isn’t much point at all. And the arena isn’t enough to hold interest in it.

    More than 200 shards to go when it's already at 5*? You should ask someone to help you with your math before you discourage yourself.

    I am only 32 shards into 5* 65 shard requirement.

    @Waqui What was that about maths again?


    Ok.

    Then your ship is only 4*. It take 185 shards to take a 5* toon from 5* to 7* so either your maths is off..again or you were wrong when you said the ship was 5*. Also it’s not about ships being great or not it’s about the claim you’re making not being possible. It’s been proven that the drop rate is roughly 33% so there’s absolutely no way that after 6 months of doing 5 battles a day you only have a 4* ship
  • Wanna know another reason ships are terrible?

    You got to delay your character farming. On one hand, so many important ships (BHs for M-F, HT, TIE Bomber) are gated behind NORMAL energy nodes. On the other hand, important characters are gated behind FLEET nodes.

    Add to that the fact that OLD ships require SO much time to farm (when compared to 2-shard drop old characters), meaning that you spend twice as many sims on a normal node that you wouldn't if you were farming most characters.

    Ship combat is also terrible. Yeah, I don't like them either.

    Dude. Please.

    I had an entire week when farming Anakins ship
    I’ve been farming it 5 hard tries every day. It’s been 8 months. It’s currently 5*. I still have over 200 shards to go.

    Thank you for proving me right, @Crayons .

    If your ship is at 5* there's no more than 100+85 shards = 185 shards to go.

    If your ship is at 32/65 it's only at 4*.

    I'm right - you were wrong. I hope you see where you made your mistake.
