Just to temper your optimism: No change regarding the whale gear situation is in sight, DR-Malak is still the sacred cow of a team, absurdly difficult legendaries seem to be the new norm, no comment on the ridiculously short notice and duration of the Malak event and there has been absolutely no word regarding any change related to ships. Yeah, better not get carried away...
-No change stated on the new gear (which can be farmed in a not super unreasonable amount of time) doesn’t mean it’s not coming. 3-6 months is generally the timeline they give for an appropriate P2P-F2P transition of new content.
-It’s normal for new meta like DR-Malak to persist for at least 3 months. They provided a counter team significantly faster this time with Padmé.
-New Legendary/Mythic content should be appropriately challenging for the state of the game. I am F2P and (just barely) got 7 star Padmé, DR, C3PO, Chewie, (6 star) Falcon all first pass with focused effort and investment in what seemed to be coming next.
-They did comment on short timeline for Malak, Carrie said it was intended those on the “tip of the spear” would get him. I got DR but NOT Malak and have zero issues with how they did the event (except for the Malak Sith TM change after the fact - should have just blocked Sith leader abilities TM gain in my opinion).
-Like arena meta shifts, ship change has to be inevitably coming
