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.
I don't think community like ships enough to ask for a raid....i personnaly don't. I'm only doing my fights to get zeta.
I'm right there with you, don't care enough about ships for a raid. But it's probably not fair to lump the community in that bucket with us. If EA had better ways to farm ships I might change my mind but as long as ships compete with Zeta's, I will probably never farm ships through Fleet Shipments.
Don't want to get the community whit us, but; i have several post about how ships battle are lame etc...
But , with this being said. My opinion, if they want to bring ship in raid form, ship battle could be only one phase of the new raid. This way, ppl that love ship will have their candy and hater won't be that much mad because it's only one phase on four

Fan favorite? Hardly. A fan favorite would be someone like a lightsaber wielding Jedi Luke, or R2-D2. Most people (including the majority of SW fans) would have absolutely no clue who Thrawn even is.
I really wish people would stop insisting that the cartoons on television are even remotely as popular as the movies. And I wish EA/CG would actually give us legitimate fan favorites to use in the game.

whoa dude!! if you think Thrawn isnt a fan favorite you dont know much about star wars out side of the movies. So many of the hardcore fans from the Old EU were dying for Thrawn to be made cannon. And his character from the books was one of the best villains in all of star wars. You dont have to like the TV series but most real star wars fans find it pretty good.

Grand Inquisitor is highly unlikely. Pretty sure somewhere the Devs/Disney said they would only add currently relevant characters and GI died in Rebels. It wouldn't make sense to have S3 Kanan, Ezra, and Sabine alongside him from S1. I'm thinking they will add Thrawn, And possibly Kallus. Not sure his DS/LS role nowadays. The other Inquisitors would also be ruled out. Unless EA decides to go with a generic inquisitorius, the other (in the show) were all unique characters.
Personally, I would have loved to see Fenn Rao and Gar Saxon. They would start the branch to a Mandalorian tag. (Sabine, Boba,
