Best ship fleet

As a background, I’m lvl 85 with a ship shard from right after the ships came out. I have never worked on ships because I do not like them in game. But ships have now spread to every area of the (TW, TB, GAC) and I have found myself in need of a fleet. What are the best ships and what good ships can I farm with ship energy because right now I’m using it for gear lol.

Here are my current ships

    Your best bet is probably rebels and Phoenix team with Ackbar’s Capital. You’re not going to be able to build a fleet from ship energy farming alone, although Bistan’s ship is great. And to be truly competitive, you’re going to need hounds tooth and Han’s Falcon, two of the best ships in the game. You’ve got a long ways to go.

    If you have access to significant GET2 currency from the Geo TBs then either a Negotiator GR fleet or a Malevolence Separatist fleet, otherwise Rebels.

    Just to get the Falcon you need:
    5 g11+ Bounty Hunters -> Chewie
    (Bossk required, Cad ok, IG not recommended)
    4 BH ships with g11+ pilots -> Millenium Falcon

    And to compete with Negotiator / Malevolence you will need:
    Home One - g11+ Ackbar bloody useless in squad
    Falcon - g13r{x} Han & Chewie
    Biggs X-Wing - g12+ Biggs
    Bistan's U-Wing - g12+ Bistan & SRP (Carbanti hog!)
    Cassian's U-Wing - g11 Cassian, g? Jyn & K2SO
    +2-3 of:
    Wedge - 1 g11+ crew
    Ghost - 3 g11+ crew
    Phantom - 3 g11+ crew (all useless in high level squads)

    Better to go straight for Negotiator/Malevolence if you can and I say that as someone who has both full Rebel and GR arena fleets.


    I see, so a full galactic republic fleet or separatist fleet? What ships would be used in either line up?

    As a negotiator fleet I assume a Anakin, Ahsoka, Bossk, with Rex, Arc-170, Jedi Consular as reinforcements? I haven’t been able to find anything that can tell me what 7 ships to farm. I’m also in a pickle because my fleet is so weak I don’t have enough power to get past Fleet Battles 5 or Hard Node 4 so I need to work on something decent soon but I’m too scared to take a chance on a wrong ship fleet

    Galactic Republic: HT, Ani & Ahsoka or 5s starting with Clone Sargeant, Plo, Ahsoka/5s as RIs.

    Y-Wing isn't farmable yet, Rex's ship is a very slow farm (store-only & rare) and Consular is ehhh.

    Seperatist: various combos of HT, Geos, Vulture Droid, Hyena if you 5*'d it during the galactic chase and IG-2K.

    Hyena isn't farmable yet.

    Seperatists require less gear investment with 2 unmanned ships. I'd try and pick the fleet based on what characters you'd prefer to invest in. R7 a huge investment so you'd want your pilots to feel like they are good for more than just pilots (looking at you rebels)

    Okay, I do have access to that currency so I will work on one of those. Any advice on which fleet is more powerful?

    Both are strong. Negotiator seems to be a bit better defensively and Malevolence better offensively but either will serve you well. Pick one and run with it. :)

    Rebels can keep up at least so far but you will need Biggs, Bistan and the Falcon with a hefty gear investment in a lot of pilots.

    Okay, many thx for your help! I have Wiggs and Han at G10 but I still gotta get the Wookiee. Thankfully BH are needed for falcon so it’s not a waste :)
