Hit level 59!!! Playing since December 2017, I will hit lvl 60 today. I've already told my mates I'm cancelling all my weekend plans because I can RP as kitten awesome Governor Tarkin soon.

Does anyone have any advice on what ships to focus on?
I've started farming Tarkin - Biggs - TFP, I have JC and I can farm Phantom (have phoenix squad)- last 2 I was thinking Bobba Fett and Vader. I need 6 ships right?
Also does any one know if EA will offer me ship bundles when I hit lvl 60 ? If they are not completely unreasonable I might get a couple as this is one of the areas of the game I've really been looking forward to.

Over time replace Tarkin with Thrawn and Slave1 /Umbaran for Tie Reaper
My fleet is Tarkin, Boba, TFP, FOTP, Vader, Biggs
Reinforcement: Maul, JC, Wedge
I take 1st everyday. My Fleet shard is rather easygoing.
Sidefarm for future arena fleet: Reaper
Sidefarm for Chimaera: Cassian U Wing, Ghost, Phantom
Vader, TFP, Maul, FOTP, Biggs are crucial in my team. The others are just nice assistants.
I have thought about adding Fives, which will surely be a good addition, but my hands are tied now. So many characters to gear up atm. And besides I'm fine without him.
Fo tie is on farm and will drop in instead of sun fac
Works every day for 1-3 on payout on a busy shard
In terms of farms - I would love to have FO Pilots because First Order is my favourite faction but it looks like most of the FO characters are impossible to farm ( I think Captain Phasma and Kylo are probably the easiest but all the others are hard node or chromium only?) - I don't think I can afford to spend 200 DS/LS energy a day on FO Pilot because I have a lot of gear to farm that I need for my Phoenix and Nightsister squads
Tarkin (good) Biggs (good) Vader ( I dont get how I can farm Vader but I assume once I hit lvl 60 there's a way to farm him as most of you are suggesting him?) - Boba Fett ( Great I need him for scoundrel heist too!). Everyone is suggesting Maul - I think I can get him with guild shipments and luckily I managed to join a good guild.
So Tarkin - Vader, Biggs, TFP, Bobba Fett, FOTP (if I figure out how to farm him lol), and use JC/Maul for reinforcement ? Start focusing on farming Wedge and Fives. I'm going to avoid sun fac because I don't like genosians.
Is Tie Silencer a good ship ? KRU is one of my favourite characters and he always reks my arena squad, I'm annoyed I didn't buy his bundle when I started I would buy it if I saw it again.
Sorry this is really confusing
for 1~2 star capital ships you have 1 reinforcement slot available.
for 3~4 star capital ship: 2 reinforcement
for 5~6 star: 3
for 7 star: 4
FOTP Vader Vader ship and a lot more can be farmed F2P through Fleet Arena Shop. You will love it.
Silencer looks good, never met one, but he doesn't have an ability to inflict target lock, so I think he is just a nice addition, rather than an insanely crucial, must-have ship
Currently the FO ships are hard to tell how good they are since not many people have them 7*, apart from FOTP which is a great ship.
You start off with 5 ships in battle (usually) and when one is defeated and your capital ship takes a turn you can use it to call a reinforcement.
You can have up to 4 reinforcements depending on your Capital ships star level.
I believe you only start off with one reinforcement at 5*.
This will definitely be a lot clearer once you go through the tutorial.
These are all equally hard to farm.
I took turns running Tarkin and Mace leads, both beefed up toons in their own right.
I currently have both Phoenix to 4* and the Falcon to 4* with those characters beefed up. Everyone else is 3* or less and brutally leveled/geared up as toons. Ships are near 83 only because they give me free ship money everyday to use.
So in a nutshell, my team, IMO is pretty crappy for being level 83 now with many in my shard at 85.
And with saying all of that I have never really dropped outside of the top 100, which always gets me 1250+ fleet tokens. Because of that, I have been able to focus farming on characters over ships and am only now or in the near future going to focus on farming ships and only dark side for Tarkin challenge (zetas).
Because of the generous top 100 tokens, I didnt see the point of going balls out because # 1 only gets you 1800. A ton of work for only 550 more per day.
Also to get onboard asap on DS ships for ability challenge for zetas. Building up ships may not be a requirement but it's really helpful for all areas due to the character/ship shards. I remember reading a post on not taking ships for granted and I'm glad that I didn't. It's easier to rank higher as ppl in general don't like to focus on ships. This helps you close the gap in arena as well...it's all about getting resources and then managing them in a focused manner.
I like the ships outlines that have been discussed. You really need Biggs (Taunt), TFP (Dodge/TM gain/Damage), DV (Target Lock). Anyone that gives TL will grant more protection to Biggs. In late game, Tie Reaper is a must as it slows the other capital ship's TM.
Thanks to you and everyone! I think I'll focus on Tarkin, Biggs, TFP, DV, Tie Reaper (death and shoretrooper are hard farms though ? I do have them unlocked but I think at 2 or 3 stars), and then Boba, Rex and FO Pilot. I am very competitive I want to get at least in the top 100, I'm top 10 in my shard for squad arena. Should I forget Phantom ? (I'm already starring up the phoenix squad)
Bit sad that I'm excited about this on a Friday night but there you go, cheers everyone.

At level 60 the best ships are the ones your arena team flies.
Since update in Oct 2017, Fleet arena gives a ton of crystals too. 400 crystal a day will help your gaming progress a lot lol I assure you.
To be clear on the fleet currency, I never spent on zetas until recently. Up until then I used it exclusively for ship blueprints to build up my fleet so I could compete at the top. Once I got all my ships close to 7* I started buying zeta mats, only holding on to 1200 in reserve so I'd always have enough at each of the three store refreshes a day to buy whatever one ship I'm currently farming.
https://swgoh.gg/u/adapting/ - my arena team is Nightsisters, I don't think they have a ship. Why doesn't Ventress have a ship ?
Only two of my arena team (Wiggs) have ships. The other three (CLS/rHan/R2) do not, but it is what it is.
Sorry. What I meant was if you have someone that's maxed 7 star and gear 6 at level 60 they are the best ships you can run because they are maxed. Sorry it's a little harder for you with a ns team.
Welp who knows lol
Better focus hardcore on ships
Especially on those ships that many ppl recommend
+And leave your zombie at g8+only those gears that give +6speed! - 1 or 2 speed gears filled at g8 to be clear!
You should make zombie FAST, and at the same time, insanely SQUISHY so enemy thrawn can't fractute her!
BTW admirable rank - bb (thumbs up)
You just made Chewie angry. Don't make Chewie angry. You wouldn't like Chewie when he's angry.
Welcome to SWGOH!
That is assuming the #1 spot and that is assuming you dont spend your fleet tokens on ship shards and spend them on zetas instead. Obviously to stay in the #1 spot, you would have to focus everything on Ships and ship characters (Level, Stars, gear).
That is a lot of work if the end goal is zetas from the fleet store.
Also, huge difference between 1 (1800 FT, 200k, 400C) and 10-20 (1350 FT, 104K, 100C). Unless you get insanely lucky and are in a shard where no one tries, good luck keeping #1 often enough without the rest of your game suffering.
Seems like a tough ask. I am not recommending to ignore ships, but staying top 100 or top 50 with little effort seems like a better option than going hard while your roster suffers everywhere else.
I must've gotten really lucky with my shard because I managed to get Top 10 with my ships team as well.
My team atm is Tarkin, Poe (no one suggested him but I had him at 5 stars and his ship at 3), Biggs, TFP, FOTP and I use JC and GS as reinforcements for now.
Do I need Wedge ? I've spent the last 3 days farming him and his ship because I always read online that's he's really good but I don't understand for what ? My phoenix team will do palpa and thrawn, he's not a req for CLS and I use NS in arena.
If you are struggling with gw I would unlock him because he is a great rebel to use with Biggs in a team. Otherwise don't bother for now. Later you may revisit to have an extra team for lstb or tw or something like that.
