In this interview with Star Wars.com you may have seen some hints at a brand new ship coming soon, the Sith Fighter! We will have more details about the kit in the coming days, and it will be a regular Marquee style event, but we wanted to let you know that with it we will be introducing a new kind of Marquee Bundle. Per the Character and Event Cadence, we wanted to give you a two week notice of the change and explain why the Sith Fighter will have a special Marquee Bundle!
Our goal is to ensure players who purchase this bundle also have the pilot to unlock the ship immediately. Basically, we don’t want players to buy a ship and then not be able to use it until grinding further.
How does a Ship Marquee Bundle differ from a regular Character Marquee Bundle? Ship Marquee bundles in general will include the required pilot or pilots needed to unlock the ship. The price of the bundle will be based on the number of crew members required to unlock that ship and rarity (# of stars) of those crew members are unlock at.
Ship Marquee bundles are something we are experimenting with and may change in the future.
Sith Fighter Marquee Bundle:
$29.99
Ship Materials
30x Sith Fighter Blueprints
25x Ship Ability Material MK1
25x Ship Ability Material MK2
10x Ship Ability Material MK3
8x Ship Ability Material Omega
25x Reinforcement Material
100,000x Ship Building Material
10x Enhancement Droid Tier 4
Crew Materials
50x Sith Assassin Shards
36x Ability Material MK1
27x Ability Material MK2
12x Ability Material MK3
5x Ability Material Omega
Gear to Tier 5
320,000x Credits
15x Training Droids Tier 4
So stay tuned for more news on the Sith Fighter and more KOTOR!

I do like this system as well but think their should be both options of with or without Pilot. As I have a 6* assassin I would like to finish off and grab the 7* ship if feasible (of course depending on kit).
Or are ship shards some sort of über ship blueprints?
Where can I apply for the soon to be released proofreading position?
The price of the Ship Marquee bundles will likely vary frequently. Much of the increase is based on the number of pilots, obviously 2 pilots in the same marquee would be more expensive, but it can vary based on the rarity, Sith Assassin unlocks at 3 stars so it's a bit more expensive than a 2 star character, etc. On top of that, this bundle also includes extra resources to upgrade your ship and, depending on your need for ship materials, this is more valuable to some and less to others.
Bad idea, you will make a lot more from separate packs then you will from a combo pack. The combo pack idea is going to go over like, a lead ballon.
At least if bundles keep going like this in the future I'll spend less, so that's nice.
Always email. That way when you're confronted by the script reading garbage water people they employ refusing to help you, you can use a screenshot of the emails to show Google or Apple that the developer is failing at customer support, nearly guaranteeing you a refund.
You always want a paper trail when dealing with useless **** s.

Silly fool that I am...so about that proofreading job?
Come on guys, you're better than this, right?
If you were really customer oriented you would put a new marquee event for the pilots.
Young Lando bundle 30 shards & gear £9.99
Only difference I see, and an EXPENSIVE one is the additional 20 Sith assassin shards for £10.01. It's no thanks from me.
No anger from me, just want the people that have the power to know. Eventually I will probably be enough purple shards to farm it out. But I am not paying for something I just dont need.
"Might be"? lol
So if there'll be a 3 pilot (all of them unlocking at 3*) ship, you'll set the price to $60 (if we're calculating with $15/toon or ship)? The price of a full AAA game developed for years for 15% of each toon (compared to a 7* toon), and 9% of the ship (again, compared to a 7* ship). I can only repeat myself: wow.
Yeah, bringing a ship to level 40 at ability level 3 at most really deserves the "on top of that" remark, 'coz it's such a great deal for such a low price.
If you are going to do experimental bundles it should be released alongside the regular bundles so that you can see which of the two bundles is more preferred. You need a control test in your experiments.
How else would you know which of the two bundles is more favorable by the buyer? Just looking at the profits is not a good result because you always have a subset of whales that will pay a lot of money regardless of how much you charge
Good to hear that you are the voice of reason but sad that your team turned deaf ears. You're the point of contact for us after all. Its a real shame that the new motivation to focus on releasing highly requested ships would be overcharged bundles.
The community manager who speaks for the community gets ignored? I hope you can see the irony in it
