Star Wars Battlefront II still has overarching issues, and player progression is still way too slow for my liking, but today's update does help tighten up the game. There's a batch of Star Wars: The Last Jedi content -- Finn and Phasma as hero/villain characters, the Crait and D'Qar maps, Tallie Lintra's RZ-2 A-wing, and three new single-player chapters -- as well as balancing and quality-of-life changes.
I've been logging in every day for all the free crates in an effort to save up for these two heroes but, as it turns out, Finn and Captain Phasma don't cost any credits to access. They're free right now. That said, Tallie's hero ship does cost 5,000 credits to unlock.
Looking over the patch notes, I'm seeing some sorely-needed tweaks. Besides lots of character-specific balance adjustments, DICE has unlocked the second and third Star Card slots for the four Trooper classes and players "will receive three Common Star Cards per Trooper Class to fill out their hand."
So, as it now stands, you won't have to spend credits on cards or upgrades you don't want just to level up those classes to unlock their extra ability/boost slots. This absolutely needed to happen. Also necessary: the end-of-round multiplayer screen now displays what the next map will be.
