How can I progress as F2P?

Progress in this game has a pace, and you definitely feel this as you build your roster and grow into many of the events and game modes. That being said, what paywalls? There is nothing that cant be gained for free in this game, even GLs. The ship event for Executor for example was all based on crystals.

That is not to say its easy or anyone can do it, but much of this game is all about planning and sticking to the plan and an understanding of the timeline.

I don't think that was the point Kevin was making, and I agree with him.

Sure, everything can be obtained for free over time, but what I see has changed and what I think Kevin was alluding to, is that you cannot expect to win anymore if you don't have the latest released characters/ships, which the P2W are prepared to pay for.to get faster.

There are no tactics that can be tried to beat a General Kenobi squad, as CG decided only GL's can beat GL's now, and for something like Kenobi, you have to farm some new characters, or buy them.

Then add in the fact that you can spend a year farming for requirements, and overnight, CG can decide that they don't like xxxxx being beaten by that character and change the mechanics, destroying the time invested.

Executor became virtually unbeatable, even by other Executors as soon as it was released, so if you need to farm it, don't expect to get/stay in Fleet top 10 while you do, or EVER win a Grand Arena if your opponent has one and you do not.

So yeh, disagree with you @Kyno because anything you plan for in this game can get 'taken away' at the developers whim................
