Basically I was just told to "focus Phoenix" and I've been doing just that.
I just hit level 60 and unlocked ship battles.
The problem with farming Phoenix only is, that you won't have enough scoundrels to do the highest tier of credit heist available to you. You should as a minimum have farmed all of Boba Fett's hard nodes every day until now. He and Lando are MVPs there.
Which hard nodes did you farm while farming Phoenix in various shops and cantina? It seems like you didn't really farm much hard nodes. I'm afraid, that you have crippled yourself by leaving out farming hard nodes like:
Biggs (must—have ship and good combined with Wedge).
JC (good ship mid—game and jedi for mod challenge and Yoda)
RG (mediocre toon, but works well for unlocking R2D2 early)
FOTP (excellent ship and used to unlock BB8)
Old Daka (in case you plan on a NS team at some point).
Regarding Dark Side nodes you should have had at least Boba Fett, FOTP and Vader unlocked by now. You will unlock EP soon (or maybe not until next time his event comes around. Don't worry. Be patient and farm DS toons and you will master the DS nodes eventually. Having a few level 85 allies helps immensly. Invite some high level players from your guild.
Since you will probably use Sabine's ship in fleet arena (and later for unlocking Chimaera) you might as well level her a bit on the side.
Regarding mods, you should at least do the health and defense mod challenges at highest tier. This will make mods of better quality appear more frequently in mod shipments. Lack of focus on mods is probably one of the main reasons, you're loosing ranks in arena. Phoenix are supoosedly still good in mid—game arena. Lando/Boba teams and other Phoenix teams probably only cause you trouble because of their speed. You need to acquire arrow mods with speed primary stat and the other types of mods with speed as secondary stat.
Regarding ships, Biggs', TFP's, FOTP's and Vader's ships are must—haves. The Phoenix ships are ok as well in mid—game (but end—game tends to be dominated by DS ships with Biggs). JC's and Wedge's ships are ok mid—game. However, be aware, that you will need 5 rebel ships to unlock Chimaera (much) later on. Did you already join a fleet arena shard? If you did, you really need to get your ship farming going, if you want to stsy competitive.
