Which ships to farm?

I'm currently holding 1-2 without buying any of the ships, although I'm planning to buy slave 1 and either cassian's or kylo's ship. I can't decide. But looking at prepping for zetas when they're available is what I'm looking into. From reading a few guides, my understanding is that you need 8 5* ships, and 5 4* empire ships, along with 5* Tarkin. I don't really use Tarkin, but I'll keep collecting shards and level him as required later. Which ships are the best 8 to farm along the way?

I was thinking:
Slave 1
Tie Fighter
FO Tie Fighter
Tie Advanced(if lucky), or kylo at 4*, some other 5*?
JC
Ahsoka
Biggs
Wedge

I just don't want to waste GW or Fleet currency. It's hard enough to come by. What did you guys do?

    Pick a ship to build around and the rest will fall into place. For example if you build around Biggs, you are going to need target locks. That would be Vader's ship (I know others can target lock but vader is guranteed every turn and they dont wear off.) Biggs is going to perma taunt due to all the target locks so needs healing. That would be JC (two healing skills). How do you increase Biggs damage? He perma taunts so retribution is a huge boost for hm. So Maul is in. For the last slot we have several options. Ahsoka to dispell. Geo soldier to dmg and call assists. Wedge for damage, 5s for dmg due to his missile pod attack when vader TLs entire team. Or you could go for Boba. More TL, dmg output and two AoEs.

    So this team would have biggs,vader,jc,maul and Boba. Which cap ship suits them best? Surprisingly Ackbar. He heals ships that attack out of turn and both this basic and AoE call assists. JC calls an assist and when biggs has retribution, he will gain tons of protection, probably more than the opposing team can strip away. His heal and cleanse skill can help any of your ships, but is best used to cleanse Biggs as needed. And finally, his ultimate allows double attacks. Two seismic charges in one turn...yes please.

    Anyway, this is just one example. Pick one or two ships to build around and let the rest fall into place to support them. Synergy in fleet is a bit different to arena, as it is less faction dependant and more dependant on individual skills synergising across your fleet.


    That is a lot of great information, thanks for that.

    Don't listen to these people. Go for dark side ships early so you can farm Zetas later.


    That's my plan, but still some great info. My goal is to prep for zetas ASAP (lvl 78 I believe), while at the same time still being able to finish #1 in fleet payouts every day.

    At 71 I have:
    4* Slave 1, Scimitar, Kylo Ren
    3* Biggs, TF, JC, Ahsoka, Geo Spy
    2* Wedge
    1* Geo Soldier, Clone Sgt, Restnce X-Wg

    So I'm thinking
    5 4* Dark side - Slave 1, Scimitar, TF, FOTF, ______
    8 5* - Slave 1, Scimitar, TF, FOTF, Biggs, JC, Ahsoka, Wedge

    Scimitar is probably the biggest limfac, but I'll sub in someone else as required.

    FOTF is a good ship, but what state is your FOTP toon? He is a hard farm, and you would probably have a functional Tie Advanced quicker unless your FOTF toon is already well developed. GS is another DS option to get your tarkin ship up to speed. Both the ship and crew are easy farms, and the ship is tanky as hell with good dmg. To star up Executrix I used Slave 1, Scimitar, TF, GS and Sun Fac. Sun fac was used mainly as I had the toon and the ship wasnt too long a grind, but long term think about fleet rank. If a ship isnt going to used in main or reserves then its a waste.

    The zeta challenge drop rate is shambolic though. You should farm those DS ships, but expect buying zetas to be the way to go, with the occasional zeta or two dropping from said challenge once in a while.

    My FOTF is at 4*. He's not that great for me atm. I do have Vader leveled and geared to the max I can so far, but I'm only 40/80 TA.
