Skipped Phoenix a bit but my plan needs refining

First of all this is the second post, i edited the first one 3-4 times in a row and it disappeared.


So i skipped some Phoenix a bit when i was lvl 47, now I'm 54 and went for ships thinking that i could get a good income on crystals. I started to have doubts tho because i think i will find a lot of players who bought hyperdrive and i took this path for nothing but in any case i 'll continue this path now. I always forget to make an account on Sgowh btw. So i start with facts and questions which are many but I'm Ftp so i have to micromanage.


Squad so far at 54 level:

Ezra 7* Ahsoka 7* Old Ben 6* GYoda 5* Bastilla 3* Those are my main squad and  Kanan 5* Anakin 5* subs where Bastilla can't (Mod battles) 

First 4 are on purple gear, the rest blue gear.

Other useful (i think) toons:

Vader 4* Hera 4* chopper 2* Chewbacca 4*

Ships and pilots:

Capital Exexutrix 1* - Tarkin 4*

Silencer 3* - Kylo unmasked 4*
Vulture droid 2*

Geo Sold. Ship 1* - Geo sold pilot 2*

Imp Tie ship 1* Imp pilot 4*

Pilots without ships yet:

Geo Spy 4* Sun Fac 3* Boba Felt 4* Cad Bane 3*


The plan:

GW green gems are close to 10k i haven't bought any Zeb and I 'll continue saving for ships.

Cantina farm: Kylo ship (with him) , Geo spy, Geo soldier 

Yellow nodes: Vulture and some Anakin 

Red nodes: Bastilla and Boba 

So questions:

1. Which ships and pilots i will buy FIRST when i reach lvl 60?

2. Cantina store do i start to buy Boba? start buy Chopper? or divide it between Boba and buying staff at 60 lvl for upgrading ships? Something else?

3. Guild store gear I'm buying gear and Old Ben, Sun Fac when they appear, correct?

4. Arena war i have 400 tokens per day reward and i have about 1000 now, I'm close to have Kanan 6* 65/85 ( i wanna take five Jedi to 6* so i can get GYoda to 6*, to my level at least he and Bastilla proved the best toons) but after Kanan buy what? Tarkin? Something else or save buying staff for ships or divude between Tarking and saving some?

5. I 'll ask again when im 60 but i 'll ask now it anyway in case i have to plan ahead. After 60 do i go Phoenix then First Order divided with ship improving or i go for Jedi, Revan, another one?


6. Ahsoka damage is weak, and in general Jedi damage is a bit weak probably the mods aren't the correct ones since i don't have many good offensives, any ideas on that beside putting more offense mods? Something that will help

Thanks in advance for any answers.

    The problem is that beside the early fleet team i have to keep up having a good fleet also long term so i can that crystal income in the future also.

    So especially if they are f2p i begin to understand why they neglect ships.
    For example myself. I have to get the rest Phoenix and max to the point i get 7* Thrawn, keep upgrading the Jedi i will have with me in the future like Anakin, Ahsoka and Bastilla, and go for the needed toons for Padme, Revans

    So at this point im afraid that i made a mistake going for ships because beside the above tasks now i have to keep upgrading Geos and also buying ships and farming other pilot in the future so i can keep having a good spot in fleet arena. Those are more tasks to a already heavy program of a f2p player.

    Is it possible having a good fleet rank long term and at the same time going for all those toons and their gear, even if i go for each team separately and with a program as an f2p? The question is not for lvl 60 but a long term question




    It's not as bad as it seems. The ship credit crunch is temporary. Once you get geos to g12 (which you need for the wat mission anyway) and get to lvl 85 you can have all the ships you use in arena pretty well maxed in a few months.

    After that you don't spend much on them. You'll have some transition when you switch capital ships and if and when the meta changes but other than that, once you get your fleet maxed, it can be viable for years. And the extra 400 crystals a day more than pay for the gear on a team you need to gear anyway.

    Yes but you have to do it in stages.
    Crystal income determines what your growth can be. Squad arena is dominated by people spending money, F2P players have to spend quite some time catching up. Fleet you can still succeed in from day 1 provided you're prepared for when level 60 hits.
    The account I started in January is top 200 squad (sometimes get into top 100) and 5th in Fleet
    which is 300 Fleet and 75/100 Squad daily crystals
    hope that helps

    Thank you both @DarkHelmet1138 and @lucaefor
    I'm lvl 56 and so far i have Silencer 4* Vulture 3* and Geo soldier ship 1*
    And from pilots Tarkin close to 5*, Kylo 5* Sun Fac 4*, Boba 5*, Geo Spy 4*, Geo Soldier 2*, and Geo soldier 2* closing 3* but all in blue gear.

    14k green gems (no Zeb at all) 3k cantina tokens and 2k arena tokens with kanan at 6* so he's close to 7* for Phoenix when i start them.

    When i reach 60 i ll start buy as you suggested, we 'll see.

    Thank you @Intimmydation.

    Im curious how high i ll go in fleet arena because in the other arena i can't get under 500 with my Jedi but the problem is that Bastilla is only 3* on blue gear since she's a slow farm, Yoda only 5* and Anakin 5* also on blue gear plus my mod inventory is poor, i suppose it's from those factors.

    In arena i find those players who are 85 and obviously they got hyperdrive but i also find people not 85 but like 65-70 lvl. I wonder but i guess those ones didn't buy hyper but various bundles with energy and they got those 10-15 levels.

    We ll see how high i 'll go in fleet arena, i 'll post again with results! You are all great help.

    You're on the right track.
    Hoard your Galactic War currency from now until level 60
    At level 60 the GW store will offer ship shards for all the early game ships (especially Geos)
    Fleet store will sell you shards for Sun Fac, Soldier & Spy so you can finish them all that way.
    Finish KRU & Silencer in Cantina
    Refresh Vulture Droid node once a day (10 sims) until it's done
    and concentrate the rest of your energy on farming gear for your pilots

    Also consider not every player levels at the same rate. Make sure you are using crystals on energy. That gets you ep and you level lot faster.
