Well, my main issue with this (and almost every new event out there) is how it excludes newer players. Admittedly I got into the ships game a bit late, but even if did earlier I wouldn't have 5 rebels ships at 5*. Not even 5 rebel ships unlocked!

I farmed Phoenix ships to 5*, since I'd gear up their pilots for Thrawn and TB so it was a good deal. Wiggs seemed like mandatory for a lot of game modes so I have them and their ships ready. The 5th ship though....

Which player would spend resources on Bistan and his ship, when you need to acquire and upgrade so many others (zeta challenge)? Cassian's ship only recently got farmable via TB in a very limited way. With this update we finally got it in a more farmable place.

Nevertheless, 4 days is nowhere near enough time to 5* it, unless you have stacks of cantina currency (which, again, new players won't have).

CLS, TB, BB-8 now this... The gap between older and newer players gets bigger by the day. Say what you will about new players competing only with new players in arenas. I'm getting tired of new content being released and me not be able to even participate, let alone finish through and through (CLS, BB-8, Chimera).

A selection of 5 out of 6 ships is extremely limited, for the way ships have been "farmable" till now. Make the requirements Light side this time, and I'd be happy (even though I still wouldn't get it since I don't have a 5th light side ship).

Also keep in mind, when I'm saying "new" players, I mean people (like me) who are playing for almost a year now (hardly new, in other terms).

Just wanted to point out for that bolded point, me. I am that player. I have a 6* Bistan's U-Wing on my fleet arena reinforcements right now and I used it for 3 starring my zeta challenge. Guess what, when you have SRP on my squad arena team, and an iffy Bistan, you can use his ship.

As for the OP, I'm actually ready for a 5* Chimera...if I can get Ghost and Phantom II up a star level this week. I have plenty of fleet currency and there's the nodes that I can use during the double drops. If you're this worked up, maybe you should just work on the ships for next time. If I don't get the Phoenix ships up, I don't get them up. I have been ignoring them ever since they became farmable for other things and that's on me. I'm taking a zen approach on this, if I get the Chimera, I get it. If I don't, then I know what to work on next time and it's not really affecting my ship farming at all to divert to them. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The thing you have to remember is, the majority of players don't have the ships ready, like the guy above said, who's going to have Bistan when there's so many other things ? it's a crazy requirement.

I don't have the ships ready either. But I'm going to pull myself up by my bootstraps and at least try to get it. It's the same as every other legendary event that's coming around the first time. I have NEVER had a team ready to 7* a character the first time around. Heck, before R2 and Thrawn (for whom I worked my arse off to unlock at 5* in May and June) I hadn't ever even unlocked a character the first time around. I dunno, maybe I lucked out by not being a visitor to the forums before May so I didn't know that Bistan was 'trash and not worth farming'. Heck, originally the only reason I did farm him was because he was needed with his ship and I already had SRP fairly developed. So there's really only one thing I tell myself, and you might want to tell yourself the same thing if you get frustrated, "Suck it up buttercup and get to farming." :D
