The Millennium Falcon

Since packs and value for money are the current topic of conversation, I'd just like to mention that the Millennium Falcon could use both some love and a way to farm the rest of its blueprints (I know, "first world problems")...

This is specifically an issue for whales who bought the fleet mega pack to build their roster when ships were initially released, typically a spend of a couple of thousand to get only a 5* Falcon (as I have in my fleet).

For the extreme cost and the exclusivity, this ship should be a little more viable. With both Rey and Finn fully maxed, minus Finn's omegas (a negligible improvement), the level 85 5* ship has:

Power: 15,965
Health: 61k
Protection: 15k (eh?)
Speed: 142 (ouch)
Damage: 10k (meh)

The AI ALWAYS uses Thrust Reversal first, which wastes the protection gain (no improvement) and stacks the 3 buffs. With its pitiful speed, even if it survives its first round, it certainly won't have any of its buffs left. The AOE attack works great with the 3 buffs and advantage via Ackbar, but setting that up is an almost impossible task.

Just to reiterate, this is the Millennium Falcon - the most iconic ship to exist in popular culture, I would say (other than the Enterprise). It's also the primary/(only?) reason to buy the fleet mega pack. Please give this ship some love and make it worth using/buying.

Please also consider providing a means of obtaining the rest of its blueprints for people who already maxed the rest of their fleet (and would therefore never purchase another fleet mega pack). I expect someone out there has a 7* Falcon, but I would guess the number of owners can probably be counted on the fingers of one hand due to being such an extremely rare drop in the pack.

    Definitely can agree with that.
    It will come soon and cost x vaults to obtain

    Off topic: In a galaxy far far away, with way more advanced technology to build death star, star destroyer, AI droids, engine travels faster than light speed..............why didn't they have auto turret?

    Funny enough in one of those legends books that told the stories before Disney said wiped them out actually discussed the turrets on the the Falcon.
  • When the Millennium Falcon piloted by Han does come out, it better be the fastest ship in the game. EA/CG better respect Star Wars history....who else can make the Kessel run in under 12 parsecs!
  • This is akin to the Darth Maul bug - you have a p2p character that they FINALLY retooled to make viable - and the new "Daze" ability on his Whirling Blades is buggier than a picnic in the rain forest. He's supposed to be the hard counter to Wiggs and counter-attacking Jedi....instead he gets killed by them when his daze hits.
  • People still missing it says episode 7. Kind of like people still missing what Chewie's name actually says.

    Holding out for the Triple Solo Threat - one shoots first, one taunts like a boss, and the last one.... uh... dies.
