Ships dependent on characters??

If ships need gear I would think they would require separate gear which seems like a lot of work. That's why I was thinking it would at least be based on the character driving the ships. Maybe it's both. Part of it depends on the character that goes with it and part of it is separate.

Prob 4 million crystals to unlock the falcon!

I think ships belong to characters or certain character types (x-wing for Biggs, Wedge; Millenium Falcon for Hans, Land or Rey).
You can consider it a "Gear Type" for new battles.

Thanks, this was more of speculation to ask opinions and have conversation. But thanks for your input.

You did not specify such. You are welcome.

I wasn't specifying anything i was speculating. There's a difference. You're welcome.

If better answer you seek, better question shall you ask.

I hope not...but it would make sense to have to keep unlocking/upgrading characters you normally wouldn't-they do this a lot. But as of now I feel there is already too much of this going on with the rancor, mod challenges, scoundrel event and other specific team only events (assaults or demise), and gw. Any thoughts and how they would even incorporate ships into the fighting style of this game? Can we decorate our ships? Lol

I don't know how the ships will be obtained, but knowing that EA announced this whole new game mechanic out of no where leads me to believe that the decision was motivated by their bottom line. I'm sure everyone will get a tie-fighter or maybe an X-Wing, but it'd be hard to believe that they'll give us a ship like the Falcon without paying a penny.

As far as upgrading or "gearing" your ship, I'd think it would mainly revolve around credits. It would explain the amount of credit heists we've been getting and the huge scaling of rewards. I don't know the amount of credits it takes to level your toon to 80, but multiply that figure by 5 or maybe even 10. That'll be the price to upgrade your ship. Ultimately, creating an even bigger credit crunch.

It take a little over 4 million from level 1 so I hope it doesn't cost 5 times that much, especially since 90% of the player base gets 5 mil total each event day unless lucky with more.

You think 90% of the player base can clear the highest tier of credit heist? Don't think so, bubba.

Well maybe not, percentage is wrong but the people who can clear top tier majority of the time get 5 mil total

Who is right? Who knows? I'm eating cashews and pwning nubs in arena until then.

I think ships should be something that takes a lon time and feels like an accomplishment once received. That being said, i don't think they'll require you to shell out cash for the best ones.

And if all it takes is credits to purchase ships, i'll be shocked. I think ships will require shards just like heroes.

It's all speculation. I didn't say that credits will be the way of unlocking ships. Credits will be the way to upgrade/gear ships (just like heroes). Money will be the way to unlock certain (or better) ships, just like heroes.

They're introducing a new concept in the same game we've been playing for months. What is it all fueled by? The answer is MONEY.

It's just good business.
