New Capital Ships - Raddus / Finalizer (which non-capital ships?)

Prev1
The two new capital ships announced are FO and Resistance based. We have 4 FO ships to complement (Tie Silencer, FO Tie, SF FO Tie, Command) and 3 Resistance ships (Resistance Pilot, Rey Falcon and Poe X WIng).

Given that each capital ship has seven ships to complement, do you expect any new non-capital FO and Resistance Ships, or will we just use existing ships outside of those factions? Seems like maybe one or two new ones, but not an additional 5 or so, which would be needed to round out.

    Perhaps they’ll all be ships. I can’t think of any notable characters from RoS that would be released outside of what already has been.
    They said 10 new characters/ships. So far we have 4 toons. (hux, sith trooper, Poe, fin). Now to capital ships making it 6. That leaves 4 potential more ships that could be added to maximize synergies. Unless they give us more than 10 which would be nice.

    They said less than 10

    I'm sure the GL Rey / Kylo are part of the remaining 3 toons/ships
  • 5 ships are needed for each Galactic Legend event

    Why would you say this? You have no way of knowing if this is accurate. You're literally just making stuff up.

    That would stink. How would we maximize the capital ships lol. Then again we don’t have many sep ships to work with outside of the GEo’s, vulture and hyena for Malevolence. I can’t see them not releasing more soon though to get at least a full starting lineup or something. Idk
  • The less than ten RoS characters comment was also before they said an “ocean” of future characters with the planned new tools.

    Here’s for optimism ?


    But to add to the OP, it would be nice if the Raddus has a generic light side synergy for any under used ships

    I'm more interested in how to acquire and promote them. We have a new raid coming out that requires ships too. Given CG's recent pattern, it will be a 3-6 month farm
  • I’d also bet that the Finalizer will also be tagged Sith, meaning that Sith Fighter, Sith Bomber, and Scimitar (along with the palpmobile and Vader) will also have some synergy, that just means they need to give us some resistance ships to flesh out both fleets.
  • Time to get all of the fo and res peeps up! We have till March.
    7* unlocks
    Just waiting on cadence.
    Does anyone know off hand when
    Finn hux and Sith trooper are farmable?
  • August of course
  • I am cool with finishing my R. Ships
  • Tie Whisper?
    Why wasn't Cobb Vanth shards a reward for the Krayt Dragon raid? Why wasn't Endor Gear Luke shards a reward for the Speeder Bike raid?
  • incoming Reys Red 5 ship lol
  • They said, we'll get an ocean of new characters
    I'm waiting now for the apology post 😅

    Well aren't you just a ball of sunshine. Never learned the difference between good and bad attention, did we?
    Ceterum censeo Patientia esse meliat.
  • CG will want to flesh out FO & Resistance fleets... there are currently 4 FO ships & 3 Resistance ships... it takes 7 ships for a complete ship squad... so CG will release 4 Resistance Ships & 3 First Order Ships this year. Book it. Probably 7 total and no less than 5 new ships.
  • 7* Holdo?
  • Being an optomist here, wouldnt the Raddus not be based on tRoS, so wouldnt count against the 10 units from the movie? So that could leave more room for new ships
    Looking for a new guild? Come check out the Underworld Alliance on Discord:https://discord.gg/wvrYb4Q
  • Hmm, I like the Idea of Raddus having generic LS compatibility.

    It came from the Republic IIRC so it wasn't always a Resistance Ship right?

    The question is, who will be the Fleet Commander?

    Holdo?
    New Ackbar?
    New Leia?

    What Resistance Ships from the movies really stand out as something they might add?

    Leia's Shuttle from TFA?
    Rey's (Luke's) X-Wing from ROS?
    "Bomber" thingies from TFA?

    If they do the Bombers I'm hoping they use the new Droid mechanics so there isn't a pilot like the Y-Wing.
  • Maybe the Resistance bomber from “The Last Jedi”?

    When the bomber is destroyed it also takes out all allies
  • One new ship u can bank on coming out is the Falcon. Cause we all know with new capital must come another new falcon lol. This one I feel will be vet lando and euthanasia chewie
  • Holdo and Hux!
  • Holdo's ship was the Supremecy. The Raddus was commanded by Raddus himself. A spicy calamari (Ha!!!). I'm guessing General Leia or something like that. It better not be Holdo since it wasn't her ship and well she didn't have a huge role exactly in the new movie......... That being said Feb isn't a long enough runway to intro a new commander I'd think. At least not marquee style.

    Count on FO ships at 7* so get that SF Tie Fighter up if you haven't and resistance ships, but that's only 3 and 4 ships respectively and it would be a stretch having two Kylo ships if you're trying to keep cannon. I'd say then that they'd release 2 more ships for each group, but that is pretty short order again to have a marquee then have the proper roll out cadence in time for Feb. So maybe FO and SIth, but not sure who they'd pair with Resistance for the unlock.
  • Holdo ship was MC85 Star Cruiser called Raddus in honor of admiral Raddus.

    Admiral Raddus commanded MC75 Star Cruiser called Profundity.

    Nope. Raddus died at Scarif, the ship is just named after him. Supremacy is the name of Snoke's ship. https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Raddus_(MC85_Star_Cruiser)
    When the Supremacy started to target the lifeboats, Holdo turned the Raddus around and rammed the Mega-class Star Dreadnought at lightspeed, destroying itself and inflicting serious damage to the Supremacy, along with destroying twenty of the escorting Resurgent-class Star Destroyers in the process.

  • As I was. Improper googling from me. I googled Holdo's capital ship and the blurb that came up mentioned the Supremacy and I should have actually read further.

    Well that stinks. I'm tired of having to level, gear and star worthless toons. At least Hux has value. Blarg. Veteran Han and Chewie all over again.
