Some information from CG_TopHat

TopHat also mentioned that Mal will be the first Cap ship that can summon a unit (not an RI).

It was brought up in the podcast interview that this thread is about.

Also interesting was to hear dev perspective on the way that they have to think about things versus the player perspective. Short term vs long term, global vs individual, etc.

Yes. This.

The numbers are what interest me most. 40k affected by malak. 20k had him 7* already. Leaving 20k with a really annoying issue. Annoyance and frustration is on both sides, clearly. This isn’t the Producers where cg is looking to make a bad game.

Idk how kenobis ship can be a waste when thrawn and tarkin aren’t great in Geotb. Do people think Mace is going to help in Lstb??

Also cg sees the numbers and activity we don’t. According to them the game is fine. It has annoying issues but that’s everywhere.

We also know when a movie or new sw stuff is released is a big time for the game. With episode 9 coming around in like a month I expect big things again.
Hopefully they implement something that helps brand new people as they said they would.

While I don’t agree that there is a silent majority of players that are cheering every cg move. I think there are players that are still playing, spending, and engaged everyday. Every you tuber has said they are still playing or keeping their account.

And they are still monitoring new implementations in the game.

Sooo —> CG we need a little more access to gear.
This is something they are aware of and actively monitoring.
