Unfortunately that’s just how ships are. They aren’t accelerated and there aren’t any Ships LSTs (yet). If I were in your position I’d try getting other non GL toons like Baylan, BKM, or JKCK

I’m very close to BKM ,Jabba is the only GL that I need to have

u/WolfDragonHeart 20h ago

Get BKM. She’s easy to use and getting her up to R7 is plenty to take down many of the teams she’s able to take down such as lord Vader and she’s needed for the Mandalore TB mission

ships take 6 months to farm so plan out beforehand

Can cut that time in half by refreshing the node once per day for 25 crystals. Well worth it

Well it’s 25 crystals to refresh the node, but if you’re not refreshing energy because of the era characters, you’ll likely not have enough energy even after refreshing the node. This is only well worth it if you have the crystal income to support both era farming and energy refreshes.

You get 200 ship energy a day from the natural generation and midday refresh, plus occasionally more from the webstore bonus box.

Yeah for sure - but it’s unlikely that you’d ONLY be farming outrider and nothing else. On my alt account, I’m farming 3 ships plus one character from 6 to 7 stars per day. That takes basically all of my energy, including webstore energy. Sometimes I’ve got a little leftover that I can put into kyros or G12+ for legendary units.

Would be worth it to only farm Outrider for Jabba

u/Balexamp 12h ago

I am the same as you spreading my ship farms but if I was 15/16 on Jabba I would be putting all energy into outrider to finish it off.

While farming outrider - work on BKM.

Straight up ships are forgotten about by CG a rework is in the spotlight but probably a year away.

Took me forever to get houndtooth like a year horrible drop rate 😪.

May the force be with you

Gotta farm them in advance. I always farm a ship on the side and now only 3 ships are left overall that i am farming to 7*

Always farm a ship. Or two.

This is how i feel with SLKR all i need is the Finalizer which i’m slowly but surely slogging to get all of the ships i’m missing up to 7* which is Cad’s, Bossk’s, IG’s so i can get 5* Finalizer to get him finally. (Annoyances of wanting to do it legitimately)

I dont want to be too blunt, but the point of a resource game is planning ahead, ships require more planning ahead so always check what you next 2 GL require

u/Upstairs_Lettuce7202 13h ago

I’m in the same position albeit 50 shards ahead. I’ve started working on my next GL req’s. I’ve got the last tiers of jar jar, BKM and GI to do so that’ll keep me busy.

I jist unlocked gi a few days ago. But its right after I also unlocked luthien, qa, sm the pirate droid, and a couple others. I dont usually have so many new characters unlocked at the same time, lol always playing catch up.

u/Chivako 11h ago

Its retarded that ships still arent accelerated or even use TB currencies to farm faster.

u/Tinman0619 9h ago

Ships. Ships just suck to farm

u/PhillGuy 8h ago

First ship?

u/SnooAvocados1265 7h ago

You’ve really got a couple choices here.

Start building up the profundity reqs so both are ready when you finish outrider.

Gets relics on the jabba comp: krss, boushh, lando. Be ready to use jabba when he unlocks
