Death Star ship raid for May 4th update, please! Rewards being ship shards, including the unfarmable TIEs, Falcon, Cas's Uwing, and Command shuttle. Would fit well with the Rogue1 release, and fit with the timeline for Phoenix squad as well.
Not enough ships to make a raid for them yet. Nobody except the mega whales will have enough ships (and their pilots) levelled up enough to make more then one fleet, especially with the capital ships taking double the resources to level, I've only just got 9 ships and 1 capital up to 85, some of those aren't 7* either and you generally need 7* to attempt heroic currently, so ships need a huge amount of further content and investment before they are ready to have their own raid. If the aat raid is anything to go by then the next raid is not going to be as simple to beat as "1 squad per guild member"
That does not mean they cannot do a new raid yet, it just means that we cannot (likely) beat a Tier 7 version of it. Big difference IMO. Kind of like Vader shards in the beginning - you can't just get them anywhere. If they make a hard ships raid there may not be a Guild in the game today who can beat it, but we can all start at the Tier 4 (4-star) level and actually progress.
I think what him and I were getting at, is that assuming they keep the same 7-star requirement for a ship raid; there's not enough access to the ships to 7-star them and a good chunk of the population is still sitting on sub 7-star level ships. As of today there are only 3 ships that can be farmed via nodes and then GW shipments which are completely random. Then there's Fleet Shipments of course but even that's random as to what's in there and they compete with zetas too.
In prepping for regular raids, all of the characters you really needed were available via one of the stores and that mix of characters is always the same or available via Cantina or Tables. EA would have not have a 7-star requirement for ships but maybe just level 85 instead.
It would be cool to have some extra ship content at some point but I don't think the community is ready or can even get ready in a timely manner for such a raid based on current standards.
