I have 3k in crystals, I am level 73 and have a team of Wiggs, STH, Boba, Lando and place in top 5 in arena. So I spend crystals on the Vader ship, 2 Syringes (needed for multiple players), or start to get Shoretrooper?

Also, so I gear my STH or Lando to gear 9 first?

Let's get back to some basic since many probably ignore this fact. After 72lvl (73?) for each level up you need 1,1k xp more than the previous lvl. You gain roughly 2,1k xp daily (quests and 2+2 refills). So you will level up each 3-4 days and +1 day each 2 lvl's from now on.
Why do I bring this up ? There is absolutelly no need to speed up gearing your units if you're level capped. To break next gear tier you'll need to be 79-80lvl and that will take a long time.
You can get 3x 15-20 syringes weekly from challenges + any you request from guild or buy in fleet shipments. You need a lot of them, but you will get a lot of them as well. To sum it up:
- Vader ship - if you're a gambler go for it, but since tournaments are banned, even if you get a 4* TIE Advanced you will be stuck with it
- syringes - a no-go, 1. MK5 furnace, 2. MK3 Holo projector, 3. Any gear you actually lack to progress: Nubian sensors or stun guns come to mind
- if you like to blow your crystals then be my guest - Shoretrooper alone gives you nothing. It will give you an edge if you have powerfull units behind him - modded and geared. Otherwise it's a waste. You can spend your crystals more efficiently elsewhere.
I would gear STH first, but it's a matter of preference. Gear9 STH can withstand Wiggs assist, gear8 STH will die. He is basically your lifeline in arena. Lando DD is great, but can be deadly against Wiggs teams with Wedge lead. I usually avoid using DD against them unless Biggs is ability blocked or has almost full TM bar.
