Forsure, so next I'll get him. What is the minimum gear recommended for pilots that don't really have a use outside fleet? After him it kinda seems like personal preference. I've seen plenty of negativity around Luminara, is she worth getting? I almost feel like after K2SO I'm better off just buying shards i already have to help with my shard store gear purchases, is that crazy?
Cassian is mainly useful as a reinforcement, so having the crew at gear 9 is probably OK since you basically just want to bring him in to wipe out the enemy team's buffs and then use his assist call to trigger an assist barrage from Han's Falcon. After that you've most likely locked up the win anyway, so it doesn't matter much if Cassian bites it. Personally I'm pushing Cassian to G11 to max out the assist call ability, since that makes both attacks guaranteed crits, but you can get by without that. Worth noting that Rogue One characters are needed for LSTB, though, so they can pull double duty there.
Luminara used to be a mainstay in the old days, but as "traditional" healers (has one group healing ability and can't really do much else) have become fairly obsolete, she's probably not worth bothering with.
Also, when buying stuff for shard currency, buy ships if you can - it's one less shard, but each shard is worth more, so you'll get 79 shard store coins per purchase, as opposed to the 75 you'll get from character shard purchases.
