Anyone "farming" (scraping) the Millennium Falcon from the hard node?

First of all, I think we can all agree that calling something that's only F2P obtainable from a single hard node "farmable" a stretch. I'd consider it to be "scrapable" now.
That being said, has anyone here started going for it? It's a very long investment for a single ship. I'm sure it's great, but there's a few things keeping me back from scraping it:
1) There will probably be a new Millennium Falcon next April or May with Han and Chewie (for the Han Solo movie), which I would much rather have over this one.
2) The time commitment. How long is it going to take to 7* this thing? 8 months? 10 months? A year? I could really use that energy for gear and other characters.
3) Would it really be a game changer in Fleet Arena? I'm sure some of the few whales who bought it would say it's the best ship ever, but by the time I could use it in arena it could already be outshined by other ships, such as the Han Solo version of the Falcon.

Just farm the five battles on the one node everyday and forget about it. It will pay off. FOST, FOTP, and 7* BB8 says Hi.
To the OP, I'd say don't forget about TB platoons. Falc is a make or break some days. Better if more people have it. Plus, TLJ = more FO and resistance stuff = possible light side legendary event.
It's only a little energy a day, prob not a "bad" use of resources.
Still plugging away at baze and shore here lol. Focusing a few hard nodes keeps the game simple and fast in some ways.
Yeah, I'm salty that I had to post this 3 times. You make a good point about platoons, so maybe I should just start working on it.
But not solely through farming though. That's what the OP is referring too.
On top of that, i've already got rey 7 stars and the gear in the falcon node is not worth mentioning. So no, i'm not farming the falcon.
edit: censor can't handle "em ef" haha.
My 7* BB8 says hi back! Those were a lot more bearable for me than someone like Krennic, because they were at least in 2 hard nodes that I used (got 7* FOTP in December, and 7* FOST in the spring). Reading the other responses here, I think it would be a good idea to hold my nose and just start going for the Episode 7 Falcon
Yep! I know it's ftp now and I'm not disputing that, but I'm calling it scrapable rather than farmable. Baze was at least in the shard shop for a while and has been in shipments for several months, and also has a hard node. So far, the Millennium Falcon just has a single hard node (correct me if I'm wrong).
Falcon 9/80
Shuttle 9/80
Reaper 14/50
Guess my rng has been a fancy kitten since they added them. I've been farming Shoretrooper from his hard node for 5 months and only have 5 Reaper shards so far.
Wouldn't mind the falcon. Not sure it's the best use of my resources though.
My Nihlus is at 75/100, so once that's done will definitely be farming it, as well as the other dark side ships (I've never farmed shore, so that feels like a win now).
Plus, like someone else mentioned, shard currency from Rey is nice, and I'm burning thru mine way to fast.
I think I’ve gotten 8 Reaper shards from the military might event so just 6 shards from node farming.

Him as in the Falcon? Haha I probably won't bother but I'm sure some definitely will.
Ok that sounds more realistic! Someone else posted here they were at something like 15 already so they must've gotten lucky with the recent Military Mights.
