Why is Carth Onasi in Ships Hard Nodes?

It's likely, if you've not finished DS Bastilla and Canderous, that you'll need to spend money.

If however, you are starting today on Carth and Juhani, and have finished the other 2, that DS Revan will not cost anywhere near what people paid for LS. Worse case scenario is you need the 50 shard pack for both and a few shipments, provided you start farming at 2/3 refresh a day from today.

People need to get real and stop whining.

Do the math. You need 280 shards for Carth, assuming you completed the marquee. That means at 2 node refreshesand 3 energy refreshes, it would take you 280/8 = 35 days to complete, all the while spending 375 crystals daily, which is already a steep cost. And do you really think CG will wait a month? No, some shipment purchases will be necessary as well, increasing the crystal cost even further. Plus Juhani, who is cheaper but farmed at the same rate, so shipments are needed as well. That's not only impossible without spending money, that's impossible without spending ridiculous amounts of money. The 50 shard packs won't help all that much.

Load of rubbish. I bet there will be many people circa 50 shards short by the time event drops and the 50 shard pack will be useful. I'm saying this isn't a $300 panic buy - it's $50 over 3 weeks if done correctly. But woe is you.
