Waiting for next GL, or Capital ship, or details about the raid? Smthing?

next raid is Naboo Raid, and it should come 7~8 months after the Endor raid
When is after the Endor raid?
It the part that comes after “before” 😉
I really hope not.
I thought they we gave them feedback that 7 months is too quick a turnaround for this kind of thing. My impression (though I don't have a quote to back me up just now) was that they were thinking 9 months now. I'd be happier with 10, honestly, but 9 is almost okay. 7 just isn't enough -- at least without more lead time on the things. I wouldn't mind 7 months if they started with the next raid team a couple weeks into the current raid. But if you wait 4 months to release Gungans and then dribble out the other toons over the next 2 months, then you've got a month to 7* everything and that's just wrong.
The raid should be released until enough time has passed that at 15 att/day the avg player has the very last character released to a hard node all the way to 7*.
That means that the last character to go to a hard node farm has to be farmable 60 days before the raid. There are a lot of guilds with serious FtP players, players that should be able to at the same reward level on the new raid within 30 days of the old raid ending. They need to have 7* toons for the raid. Anything else just really isn't appropriate.
I keep hearing people saying 7-8 months and I don't know where that came from. Maybe I'm being overly pedantic about this but the only time CG has directly addressed this (that I know of) was in the Leia Info thread, here - and the estimated lifetime of a new raid was put at 8-9 months. To save you the reading and scrolling, here's a screenshot:
So we're probably looking at 8 months minimum and possibly as long as 9 months - though you and I both know that it's folly to try to put an exact date on any timeline that CG estimates. It's a fun exercise to try to guess but at the end of the day, that's all it is.
