1. Hopefully after the next round of GLs or other release so that there won't be any r9 requirements. Who am I kidding?
2. Hopefully an entirely new material and only that material to relieve the difficulty of getting to r8. Who am I kidding? More of everything to get to r8, and a new signal data that will be in a new cantina node that you can only fight with 5 r8 toons. Not simmable. To encourage "engagement".
3. The only info I've seen about r9 is - "R9 is going to make a big difference for tanks" or words to that effect. My speculation is that it can't be just a mastery and mastery related increase like all other relic levels have been.
If it was another step the same, then tanks would improve just as much as attackers, so no net change and no big difference for tanks.
Maybe it will have a background boost to protection, like happens with gear levels starting at 7? Maybe health? With the removal of most defence bypass, maybe defence? But if there is a targeted boost to tanks, surely there is some big boost for everyone?

Don't get your hopes up.
My hopes are exactly where CG's track record has put them. In a garbage compactor on the detention level.

Maybe r9 will be the gate for 7 dot mods, and that's where the boosts to defence will actually come from.

You are making it worse
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?

Sounds very CG-like. Don’t give them ideas.
I've found this whole experience to be very enlightening.

Dear God
Here's how I see r9 going for me:
It's a trivial increase from r8 to r9, like r7 to r8 was. I treat it like r8 and ignore it until it's required for something.
It's a meaningful increase but not game breaking. Not sure what I do, depends on the cost.
It's an absurd increase that opens other gates like 7* mods. If the cost is as prohibitive as r7 to r8 is, I probably quit.

7 dot mods after theyve introduced mod mats from GC and CG would probably destroy that game

I went to look at the data before I posted because I wanted to make sure of my thoughts
RE: R9 is going to make a big difference for tanks
There are 4 main stats that are boosted by relic level Str, Tac, AGI (S/T/A) and mastery
This could simply mean S/T/A boost for tanks will get a bigger boost than supports/healer/attackers, and the mastery stat boost will be the same, making the overall effect bigger for tanks than others.
R9 is bad for for pilotless ships since those ships cannot be upgraded or mod
Mal fleet will be badly suffered
IIRC Crewless ships where tuned to R5
So a touch up to keep with crewed ships would take them to R7.
I don't see +2 speed and the other stat boost suddenly making them easily getting around the kit design of executor which is very anti malevolence/negotiator.
We need more immediate ways to obtain signal data with all the relic requirements now. The game has outgrown the current availability provided by cantina alone (or the occasional assault battle and conquest).
I’d even appreciate CG putting more signal data packs in the store and not just in the weekly ones.

Putting them in packs is not an acceptable solution. They need to address the gear/relic economy and come off their “natural solutions” stance they’re taking because naturally, the needs have far outgrown that sort of pace. Direct action is needed, weeks ago

Almost fully agree, except for one thing. Direct action was needed MONTHS AGO

I believe Doja has some news you may find interesting, but I cant say for sure, without actual details.

1 - soon.
2 - new stuff, just like r8 was to lower levels. Very likely.
Less likely but hopeful is same as r8, just more.
3 - game modes? Not at all.... roosters, greatly, in a 8-12 months....
Roosters - as soon as u upgrade them, it increases how early they wake up those living in the countryside

TBF, the odds of someone who only has Mal as an option facing fleets with r9 pilots is going to be rather low for a while.

Considering the low gear costs to a very competitive Malevolence fleet I'm pretty OK with this
Absolutely kills our hopes for a future where ship power isn’t linked to pilot gear levels though.

10 blue signal data? Great. Just 40 more chorequests and I got the signal data for the LV prerequisites ready.
2. New stuff obtainable through a new raid, and droid’s brain obtainable through scav jawa using the golden stun/datapad/medpack
But who knows
For the 1000th time, there's no new raid
The chance of a new raid coming is the same as the Mace Windu rework; unlikely, despite the community asking for it.
Thank you for evaluating. Your feedback is appreciated.
I believe Doja has some news you may find interesting, but I cant say for sure, without actual details.
But which one is more likely.....
I don’t see so unlikely a new challenge AAT raid or a new level of challenge rancor raid.
