Stuck in ships

I have a problem. I didn't like ship battles so basically ignored them when I first hit 60. Now I'm 76 and realizing that the crystals from fleet arena rewards would be very helpful. I have a bunch of 7* toons and ok arena teams (rank ~500). However even with 4 star ships and pilots geared to at least 6, I cant seem to win battles. I can't get beyond the first capital ship challenges, and I can only get through the first level 2 hard battle. I can't get any blue mats so I can't improve the ships more.

What do I do? Keep starring the ships I have? Try to buy different ships with other currencies? Something else?

Thanks for your help.

    Keep gearing your pilots. Gear lvl 6 is low — even at level 76. Stars, levels, mods and ability levels of the pilots also influence your ships.

    Decide which ships you want and start farming them. If any of your arena squad is a pilot that helps since you likely already have them geared and ready to go. A strong pilot is just as important as a strong ship.

    KRU and his ship are on the same cantina node. start there.

    Vader and his ship are really important. so is TFP and his ship. Vader's ship comes from 1 slot in the fleet arena store. His shards are lower in the store or achievements. (also a hard node, but you're not there yet) TFP ship shards can come from galactic war store.

    Biggs is good for raids as part of a wiggs or rebels team and arguably the best ship in the game.

    Phoenix ships are ok if you've already farmed them for Thrawn/Emperor.

    And when it starts to hurt, remember that the ship ability material challenge can award Zetas, and is critical for character development.

    So all of that matters in pilots even if you don't have the blue mats to increase the ship abilities?

    It's not the only thing but the pilot is a big part of the ship's power.

    I recently unlocked Slave 1 and that 4* lvl 1 ship had over 20k power because the pilor was 7*, lvl 77 and G8.

    Conversely, my 5*, lvl 76/77 Ghost and Phantom are both below 15k power because the crews are 5* and mid 60s.
