Locked behind GET2 is a horrible choice. Way to piddle in the faces of those who like ships.....39,150 to unlock is disappointing.
Imma count that as "slap in the face" for the bingo card.
If you want it, make it a priority, same as anything. It'll be a hike to get there, but considering it looks like a hard counter to the Ackbar/Falcon lineup we have right now, it'll probably be arena viable at five stars, and fleet's notoriously slow to shift gears.

Hiding the unlock to the new fleet meta capital ship, behind MK2 from end-game TB is finally what will make me quit the game. Spectacular way to make top spots in fleet unnaproachable for people not in "TIP OF THE SPEAR" guilds. I can kiss this game goodbye since all I was able to get #1 in was fleet. Cue song..another one bites the dust...
"Hiding?" It's pretty clear.
You can start making progress as low as an 80 million guild. If yours isn't there, you can change gears. This is about as fair a means of getting it out there as any.
The main alternative is to release the Negotiator via a legendary event. That would probably mean Separatist ships, of which there are currently three, so that would mean requiring at least one brand new marquee Separatist ship to fill the lineup, which folks always flag as cash grab gatekeeping. Then there would need to be a capital ship, which given we're almost confirmed getting the Malevolence soon probably means we wouldn't get a loaner in a Negotiator legendary. That makes two new ships required for a Negotiator legendary to be possible. And still, the event would require some pretty heavy investment in a fleet you'll use zero members of under Negotiator in order to get it at all.
By comparison, the GET2 route is just... if your guild's not doing GeoTB, jump ship to a guild that is. Same answer as always when your guild isn't performing to meet your needs. This is about as fair as you can ask. Will other people get Negotiator faster than you? Probably. But how ain't that gonna be true?
