What's your roster management strategy after the introduction of GA?

I had already started going lean before GA, but for example I take mods off the bottom half of my roster for GA so that GP doesn't count against me.

Ah ok. Going forth with your votes, please consider that option related to passive sandbagging (opposed to only way of active sandbagging by dropping mods)

not entirely sure if others would consider my roster lean, but i'm mostly facing players with "weaker" rosters.
edit: forgot that i unequiped a large portion of my mods when i was trying to stay sub 4m (which was a stupid idea and luckely didn't last long).
as for the "leanness" of my roster: https://swgoh.gg/p/447911521/

Your perception of it is fine. Purely lean rosters are rather rare.

purely lean is pretty much impossible for me since i've been playing for 3 years+, so i just compared mine to my opponent's rosters to get a somewhat objective take on it.

I am already at the extreme..with just a handful of toons left to complete. For me to change now and focus on lean is only going to continue my rise in GP maybe faster then it would if I just complete what is almost done. Because after this I have nothing left but to gear and mod only the most viable ATM toons in this game. I'm still behind in zatas either way. And I don't want to sandbag others because I'm so far ahead of them I don't want walk through matches..I want challenges! Nothing easy and nothing impossible.

Edit: There is no guarantee that in the near foreseeable future anything may change. Yes CG and mods are listening and taking note..but untill it is announced and changes implemented. Nothing I can really do, but to swallow my bitter pill.

I guess this one fits...

I mostly stopped leveling / gearing toons I didn't care about long ago but when GA started I was over 50% fleet GP which really made life tough.

I have since maximized my current fleet arena team and all but stopped investing in ships, focusing on gearing up non-pilot characters instead.

It's actually quite difficult to rebalance squad/fleet GP levels because anything you do to a pilot whose ship you have unlocked costs you 2-2.5x the GP that the same character without a ship would.

Finally managed to get more squad than fleet GP recently while leveling up Murder Bears for 3PO.

Edit:
I also no longer activate / star-up a toon a plan to use until I am ready to gear and skill them up. So I have an increasing backlog of toons pending Activation. 1337 sk1llz FTW! :p

I would star up toons but would often wait months to actually level them up or upgrade their abilities, until I had a squad or spot to use them in.

I think this comes from the early game where I never seemed to have enough credits and as I like to go from lvl 1 to 85 in one go, it certainly felt like a big chunk of change to spend, so I would just wait and pick and choose the particular toon or toons to work on.

Once I do start working on a toon I generally don't stop until they are at least G11 and have all abilities omega'ed or zeta'd (if its a good or relevant enough zeta)

A few exceptions to this rule of course. Most of my Phoenix are G8/9, mostly cause they still work really well at that level and once I had Thrawn, they became less of a must do project

I’m too lazy to do anything different with my roster. This game is enough of a time sink.

Yea I agree with this. I will not unlock Ebon Hawk until someone shows me that it would be better in my current fleet than any other ships. I will try for as many shards as possible though.

What sucks is that I just started working on an OR team with Carth as the lead. Going to need to manage that carefully so I don’t inflate my GP with another ship.

The palpmobile hit me hard (38k GP at level 1) due to pilots that were already high gear. I can’t use the ship but it’s factored into my matchmaking...
