I have been farming them every day since release and only now got to 5 stars on the two BH ships and lando is at 6...
You must not be using refreshes then. If you got BH to 5 Star you have farmed at least 95 shards per BH ship, assuming you started at 3* 0/30. Assuming you did not use refreshes, had you used 2 refreshes a day you’d have farmed 3 times as many shards, or 285 shards, which is 190 more shards than you farmed, which you’d be sitting with 7* ships right here and now.
As for the lando 6* that’s a head scratcher, I rarely used refreshes on that farm, maybe 5 total, and had that ship 7* in middle December.
Could also be a combination of empire/bh ships. I could see that with bh ships making the event easier. Kinda like jango, bossk, or embo made the chewie event easier but wasn't actually req.
I'd imagine ht especially would make any ship event more beatable. Without ht, you're basically trying with no tank.
Ppl already complaining that some fleets are unbeatable (not for me but a lot of ppl)... if it unlocks at 7 and has a god kit that only a VERY small percentage of ppl get first time it will be a precedent that ppl cannot be beaten by anyone... gonna be a lot of angry ppl IMO...
Is what it is...but scary
It can’t be worse than Hounds Tooth. If you paid $300 for him you had a nice long run at the top with him.
If this follows the Chimera style ship unlock, there are only two ships that should be required.
The Imperial Tie Fighter and Slave I.
Most of the Legendary/Heroic/Ancient events stick close to the lore. Chimera required both Phoenix ships seeing as they were Thrawn's primary opponents. The same should hold true for the Falcon because the Tie Fighter is the primary opponent that the Falcon squares off against. The first dog fight in Star Wars was the Falcon versus Tie Fighters in Episode 4. In ESB, the Falcon is chased by Ties through an asteroid field. In RTJ, the Falcon and Ties duke it out in a massive fleet battle. It is the one ship that is deserving of being required for the Falcon. Slave I makes since it stalked the Falcon to Bespin in ESB. The only other ship that remotely should enter the conversation is Vader's Tie Advanced since the Falcon did engage it and its escorts in ANH to save Luke.
That all being said, I have zero problem with the third ship being required being BH since it makes sense considering what we have in game. I figure the event is going to be difficult that you would require four or five ships regardless.
I honestly don't expect Imperial Tie Fighter to be required since there is little money to be made in it. However, it would be a shame if it is not because of what it represents. The first dogfight in Star Wars history.
That'd be great if it was an easy legendary event that requires empire ships.
One things for sure, it's going to have scoundrel synergy, which means hounds tooth will be even more OP.
I doubt it'd be an easy event if it only reqs empire. Probably need them geared up and tough for that.
Even that isn't a big deal though. Vader and tf are great ships and worth maxing. I already have reaper fairly well geared. The only issue would be if you have to gear up gar saxon and super comando. But that is doable.
But with slave one as the login character I bet bh ships will be allowed at a min. And that makes sense. If you only have empirr ships you have to try with 4 ships and no tank. If you also have bh ships you get 7 ships and one a fantastic tank, making the event much easier.

If there has truly been an unbeatable fleet or squad in goh in the last 3 years I've been playing, i must have missed it. Anything is beatable with a little research and trial and error (except crack windu lol).
CG can and will use what they want. For those that say bounty hunters are needed and point to the scene from ESB, I have to ask where is Cad Bane as well as the ships for Dengar and 4Lom/Zuckuss? Hounds tooth is implied from the scene but wasn't in the movies or novel from what I recall.
The reality is that there is only 2 factions that has more than 4 ships in them (Rebels and Galactic Republic) that are either all light or dark side. This implies either it will need 4 or less ships to complete or will be a mixed faction, either two factions added together or one faction with mixed affiliations.
Slave 1 is part of 3 factions right now, Cargo ships, Bounty hunters and Scoundrels so I would look at them for farming, along with empire if it is from ESB
The devs have no problem setting some content up as “end game” As long as a handful of players can unlock they are fine with the rest chasing down the requirements for the next instance - and so am I. This game survives off of carrots, the OT Falcon is a pretty good carrot.
If they make it "Scoundrel ships" to have more, that makes sense from a game faction standpoint, but less sense from a Star Wars theme standpoint. For Chimaera, it made sense that other rebel ships would support Phoenix squadron. For the Falcon, it makes less sense that an older version of the Falcon would be helping Bounty Hunters track down itself.
I guess one of two scenarios:
1) Legendary, unlock at 5 stars - requires all 4 Bounty Hunters.
2) Legendary, unlock at 5 stars - requires minimum of 3 BH ships, but the difficulty is tuned hard enough that it will be VERY difficult to get 7* with only 3 ships.
They should be releasing a ton of really good, arena viable, pain-in-the-butt to get options that would diversify PVP gameplay. I think the game is getting there. Top 50 having 25 pictures of Traya and 25 pictures of Revan could use more diversity.
I personally don't see why the Falcon couldn't be the first Legendary ship - I mean its the OT Falcon!
BH is a bit odd as well as Cad Bane wasn't around at the time Vader sent BHs after the Falcon in TESB.
But if his ship is required then why not Lando's Falcon? I mean the riddle teased BH and Scoundrels and also we had Scavenger Rey and farmboy Luke for their Events to get the "next version" in their timeline so it may be possible that Lando's Falcon is required.
Just my 2 cents.
Anyways, I'm still buys farming OR for Revan as well as beefing up my Ewoks and BHs to get 7* 3PO and Chewie respectively.
OT Falcon has to get in line. Can only do so much as FTP.

They needs to have something other than smuggler event...
I mean they dont needs to be used for anything else, how many things are Separatists needed in this game?
One things for sure, it's going to have scoundrel synergy, which means hounds tooth will be even more OP.
......You've never run into a Smuggler team in Territory Wars or Grand Arena, have you?
I doubt it'd be an easy event if it only reqs empire. Probably need them geared up and tough for that.

They should have, once they've reworked.
No.
I am at GP 3.2m, every opponents I faced in GA defending their territories with:
1.Arena teams. (like Bastila Jedi, CLS rebels...)
2.Super weak teams. (like gp 60k ewoks without zeta)
Nothing else.
Thrawn - Legendary Event requiring Phoenix characters
Thrawn's ship - Legendary Event requiring Phoenix Ships (+ filler rebels)
Chewbacca - Legendary Event requiring Bounty Hunter characters
Chewbacca's ship - Legendary Event requiring BH ships

What makes more money for a game, ppl panic farming or ppl buying packs for a ship that 90% at least if the player base will want?
Well, it's probably the most iconic ship from Star Wars. And even if it is junk, it's the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy.
Hence my shout for it being a marquee
