Lol, that's cool, but zJyn R1 teams do fairly well in Arena (I start at 50-ish and end at 20-ish every day), can finish GW at almost-full protection, and has use in raids.
Oh, same goes for Viva La Resistance.
But you need to get Baze in order for that to be true aka finishing 9-C.
Who cares about Baze anyway Resistance steamrolls every single pve content at the moment, even with really low gear. You only need a single zeta which is far from being that expensive. Resistance also makes you get useful mods, achieve humongous scores in raid and are way better than Phoenix when it comes to GWs.
Pure Phoenix can't compete at all in arena, which is a total waste of energy especially for a starting player. They really need these extra gems to get gear faster.
Very few toons care about tenacity mods and tbh i wouldn't trade a Wiggs for a Phoenix, they're useful everywhere and you'll get two strong pilots.
You need 6 Phoenix pilots to manage only 2 ships, i don't call that noob friendly. Phoenix are expensive and not performing that well in really useful content.
And by the way i don't have multiple viable teams (late December 2016 shard) so i know perfectly well what a newbie needs or not. They need credits, an easily farmed viable team for arena, useful mods and zeta challenge, Phoenix won't get you these.
