tarkin tier 5 ships

Ships are fine, work on your pilots. Get them to Gear 7 and minimum 5* (some will have to be 7*), and make sure they have mods. Not necessarily good mods, just mods--all that matters is their rarity and level. Pilots are a great dumping ground for all those white 5 pip garbage mods you get.

im working on tfp but fotp and sun fac are impossible to star

Work on gearing up your pilots, going up a gear level for each pilot helps a TON. Also just throw a ton of health/protection mods on them it'll boost the power rating of the character the most, just toss your 5 dot mods with bad secondaries on there with lots of protection and health and the crew power should increase a sizable amount and help with the ship power. Worry about stars after, gear is a bigger power factor.
