Stop tying Conquest to the Pirates

So you're whining because you don't like a toon and the faction he's tied to? Crazy concept but CG doesn't have to consult you when creating a new toon. The vast majority of SW like Hondo...GL worthy maybe not but he's a toon in cannon relevant to the current era SW is in.

As for fleets it makes the most sense from literally every angle for them to be Pirates.

This is nothing new with conquest, it rewards people for upgrading the newest toon, and yes spending money because game cant be funded on the moans, groans, and whines of entitled players feeling like their individual opinion matter in any way.
