Why isn't the Tie Reaper in any of the stores?

There are a number of toons and ships that are only available via farming hard nodes. Tie Reaper is one of them.

For the best, it's a really good ship. Keep it for those who want to spend a lot of resources on it.

Luckily it's good enough at 4 stars, even for top arena (depending on your pilots of course)

Exactly. If you can just keep it alive, the TM reduction on the enemy Capital Ship is utterly invaluable.

yep - I have it almost at 5* - only need like 5 more blueprints. What a loooooooong farm.

I’m close on that one, about 12 shards away, DT is G12 and Shore is at just X but he’ll be going higher right after my NS get to gear X to piss people off in TW ^_^

Tie Reaper is very good ship but also is gone very fast in the battle. I have him 5 stars. I am not so amazed by this ship. My pilots are g12, g11. So almost maxed.

Reaper maxed in terms of survivability is in line with many other non tank ships, actually on the higher side for hp + prot. However if you compare a 5* ship to a 7* ship, it's not a very fair comparison. Reaper is amazing when used in a dark side fleet that relies on striking hard and fast.

He still removes TM on his own death, so even if he dies fast he still carries some use.

He needs to be hidden behind biggs and then stealthed by maul
