The only reason idk how worth the AP it actually is, is because we have no idea if/when it'll come around again, or just be farmable of something. Nevertheless I will certainly be acquiring

Yes but couldn't this be said about any tournament? And with ships being so new, only having a 2* will be just fine (unless you're fighting whales). Plus Vader is enough of a game changer to be worth the commitment, even if you only get a 2-4 week head start.

Just noticed the only prizes seem to be vader ship shards, ship building credit and some enhancement droids.

No gear for the toons or normal credits in sight

Yep, they nerfed the rewards...

With Vader I am just quite uncertain about it. I kind of assume all the characters will be farmable eventually, but vader's ship, he could be rare, like his shards, or they could easily make him common, I just don't know.

You are also right we don't know with any of the tourney characters, I suppose I also feel this way more now because this tourney is more valuable to me than the others.

Personally I won't be able to use him that effectively in the next month I don't think, because I don't think I have enough characters geared and ready for ships to compete for top spots, but for others yes they'll get that from it. For that reason I want it to be worth it to go for 7* if possible, but am having trouble justifying. I will see how my tourney shard is. But in the end I'll just go haam cos it's Vader, let's be serious.

Everyone saying not interested are probably the first ones to unlock him ^^
Great move letting the community think we don't care and then BOOM spend season is open :D

Well I mean I just gave one example. Many ships can do good stuff with target locks. Currently the only other way to get irresistible TL is Fives or Bistan, both of which are on a cooldown and aren't persistent. Vader will work with most ships I would think provided the opening fleet comp doesn't have specific needs for all 5 spots.

His ship will be great but the whole tournament setup is stupid. I mean some shards need to get 18k to win. Others 10k. How is that right? It is also really boring and that is my main issue.

So, in Japan the tournament started already. I don't know whether it's the same time like everyone but.. If not I'd like to share the rewards with you.
The first place would get 330 shards and 1.97 M (ship-)credits and a bunch of level 4 trainingdroids.
The second gets 260 shards, 3rd 230, 4th 170, 5th 145, 6-10 100, 10-25 80. The rest won't be able to unlock the TIE.

How about the other brackets like 30-39 or 40-49?

After top 25 the next bracket is 26-100

Let me figure out how to insert a screenshot here, then I'll give you some pics
