I mostly play it for the ship building materials. I needed 1.5 mio to upgrade two ships and was finally ready to beat tiers 1 and 2, so this event couldn't have come at a more opportune time.
Agreed 100%. Challenge gear at all levels is a joke compared to all the other Assault Battles. And once you have either maxed FO or maxed Sith the whole thing is just even "auto/basic", which shouldn't be the case on the highest tier.

However, I can't see them adding one of the newest ships to the rewards. It would be great, but doubt they would.
There is precedent. We had new empire toons (gar, isc and so on) added to the empire event rewards a while back.
Knowing my luck it'll be added as rewards the day after I finish farming from the single node.
Also added Lando’s Falcon as a reward to Contraband Cargo not too long after it became farmable.
I’d love to see a reward overhaul and mythic tier on this event.
