Question about Mid Tier Farming Priorities and Ships

I'm in a similar status right now & this is what I've learned in the last 3 months.

The best way to handle DS ships IMO is to start with TIE's early & then get into BH ships since several of them are late game farms.


TIE Silencer & Kylo are in the same node & can be farmed before even getting into Fleet
The game gives you ITF & TIE Pilot is good in R2D2 fight for Buff Immunity.
FOTF & FOTP are a solid 3rd with 2 farm locations each (GWS & FS + LS/DS) Also helpful for BB8.

TAx1 & Slave-1 are your final 2 to get 5 to unlock Executrix's 5th Star & move into Zeta Challenge.
They should unlock at 4* right about the time your getting the above 3 up to 6-7* range which should be just enough for the Challenges

The remaining 3 BH ships are all LS/DS Hard Node farms that will take quite a while to star them up.
But when done you'll have 8 DS ships which should be all you'll ever need.

I wouldn't worry about Chimera or HomeOne for now & Endurance is mostly a waste of effort.
Once you get DS up & Running then you can work on LS.

I would start Phantom/Ghost early when your already doing TAx1 & Slave-1 since all 4 are rare/uncommon.

Biggs & Wedge will go much faster late game as they have 2 locations to get them (GWS/FS)

I would farm 5 Hard Nodes (JKR chars x3 & FOTP x2) with the rest going to Gear/Normal farming.
Once you complete some of those 5, then move on to DR Chars (x2) & BH Ships (x3).

For Jedi, I used the Phoenix/Luke trio & added Consular & Qui-Gon to Unlock GMY since Bastila didn't have enough stars for it. Then replaced QGJ & JC in actual Arena play with GMY & Bastila.
It looks like you have Lumi already at 5* so her & QG would be the fastest options to star up for GMY next time around.
This is assuming you can't get Bastila up to 7* by August.
