Hit level 59!!! Playing since December 2017, I will hit lvl 60 today. I've already told my mates I'm cancelling all my weekend plans because I can RP as kitten awesome Governor Tarkin soon.https://swgoh.gg/u/adapting/Does anyone have any advice on what ships to focus on?I've started farming Tarkin - Biggs - TFP, I have JC and I can farm Phantom (have phoenix squad)- last 2 I was thinking Bobba Fett and Vader. I need 6 ships right?Also does any one know if EA will offer me ship bundles when I hit lvl 60 ? If they are not completely unreasonable I might get a couple as this is one of the areas of the game I've really been looking forward to.

Building up ships may not be a requirement but it's really helpful for all areas due to the character/ship shards. I remember reading a post on not taking ships for granted and I'm glad that I didn't. It's easier to rank higher as ppl in general don't like to focus on ships. This helps you close the gap in arena as well...it's all about getting resources and then managing them in a focused manner.I like the ships outlines that have been discussed. You really need Biggs (Taunt), TFP (Dodge/TM gain/Damage), DV (Target Lock). Anyone that gives TL will grant more protection to Biggs. In late game, Tie Reaper is a must as it slows the other capital ship's TM.Thanks to you and everyone! I think I'll focus on Tarkin, Biggs, TFP, DV, Tie Reaper (death and shoretrooper are hard farms though ? I do have them unlocked but I think at 2 or 3 stars), and then Boba, Rex and FO Pilot. I am very competitive I want to get at least in the top 100, I'm top 10 in my shard for squad arena. Should I forget Phantom ? (I'm already starring up the phoenix squad) Bit sad that I'm excited about this on a Friday night but there you go, cheers everyone. ,

Phantom is good if you have phoenix better than most other pilots. At level 60 the best ships are the ones your arena team flies.

Haha kinda funny that Luke, Han and R2 don't have ships. I mean those 3 combined could defeat a star destroyer single-handedly.

I have no trouble letting 1st in fleets everyday. Most of my guildies too. I'm in a old arena as well. Usually never drop past 8th place. Fleet arena are way easier to main a regular top 10 spot. And I still maintain a top 10 in regular arena as well. Get the good ships. DS tie fighters and Biggs and maul and your set.

Ships Ships Ships! What's a noob to do ?

Is it worth focusing on the rebel ships now ? I really want chimaera and just realised since im only lvl 65 maybe it would be better to go for the rebels rather than the dark ships...

Dark side ships are better and zetas is the most important thing about ships.

For you, and for you. Not everyone is you.

I love my dark side ships too, but some people have run light side with great success.

I love my zetas, but I also love my crystals.

Blanket statements like these are rarely correct.

True fair point I will restate.

One of the most important things about ships are zetas. They are vital to squad arena success and to raid success. Dark side ships are needed to unlock these.

The ships meta is Biggs and target locking ships as far as the eye can see. Many of the best target lockers are dark side ships such as boba's ship, vader's ship, tfp's ship and fotp's ship.

Yup, Poe is my MVP. He one shots Imperial Tie off the bat.

I would sincerely want to know how is that possible. I have Poe ship fully maxed and Poe himself is G12 with 3 adittional gear pieces and all 6 mods 5* and level 15. Under any capital lead or any situation I didn’t one shot anyone’s Imperial Tie ever. So, what is the secret?
Thanks in advance!

I'm sure he's facing TIEs that are not leveled as high as his Poe is.

Best ships for the time being will be: Tarkin, TFP, FOTFP (harder to farm), Vader, Biggs and Slave 1/Umbaran with first backup Scimitar

Over time replace Tarkin with Thrawn and Slave1 /Umbaran for Tie Reaper

You will have opportunity to buy multiple bundles and packs. And your plan is good.

My fleet is Tarkin, Boba, TFP, FOTP, Vader, Biggs
Reinforcement: Maul, JC, Wedge
I take 1st everyday. My Fleet shard is rather easygoing.

Sidefarm for future arena fleet: Reaper
Sidefarm for Chimaera: Cassian U Wing, Ghost, Phantom

Vader, TFP, Maul, FOTP, Biggs are crucial in my team. The others are just nice assistants.

I have thought about adding Fives, which will surely be a good addition, but my hands are tied now. So many characters to gear up atm. And besides I'm fine without him.

I don't think the ship bundles come until 62 or 63, or maybe a certain number of days after turning 60. I remember being upset for days on my alt account. And unless you buy the Boba bundle, don't plan on getting him or Vader any time soon, they are long hard farms. Ahsoka and clone trooper are good early pilots you didn't mention. Geonosians are easy farms, but not very useful endgame.
