Hi Holotable Heroes,
We are aware that Executor fleets with Punishing One are beating Leviathans in their respective Fleet shards. We are investigating and keeping an eye on this to see if further action is needed.

I never like to be negative on the forums but this is genuinely embarrassing.
It was mentioned that this probably wouldn't help with Executor vs Leviathan. There aren't many fleets in the game - it's not like characters where there are so many interactions that it's reasonable to expect some unexpected interactions to slip through.
I want to respect the developers and people behind the release here but:
That's not okay. I could understand it for characters but there's no excuse to not know how the ship will perform against the most common fleet at the top of fleet shards. I urge whoever is responsible for making the decision to leave the ship as is. People have already spent money. You had plenty of time to test this out and prevent this from happening, but it's too late now.
EDIT: If Meathead reads this, none of this is targeted at you (as you know), and I appreciate what you bring to the role of interacting with the community. It's whoever was responsible for testing and the person making the decision to potentially remove functionality that players paid for that I'm frustrated with.
100%. To change it AFTER people spent their hard earned money is a vile bait and switch tactic. You released the ship as intended, if you didn't test it, that's on you!
But you don’t have to buy it for it to beat leviathan. What are they bait and switching?
This is a shady practice to get revenue.
There's a development team with PM's. QA, Developers, Dev ops, uiuix.
This is a repetead malpractice to get folks spending on something they know it will do what they said it shouldnt, they wont admit it though.
its just a quick money grab scheme.
Even for Meathead this has to be embarrassing, Leviathan has been the meta fleet for over a year now, you mean no one over there thought to playtest this new ship against it?
Fortunately I saw this post before spending on the packs, so I'm holding off for now.
Is there any testing done at CG? Within an hour of the release ... not a great a record.
No, they test nothing ... actually it is us doing the testing.
We all are working as beta testers without being paid 😁
CG only cares about money, 0 quality assurance, they just drop the **bleep** into production and let us do the test the hard way. Just another middle finger from CG
@CG - you can't charge people for a new product and then change it after you've taken everyone's money
Dispute it with your credit card company. If the credit card companies get enough complaints about this game, they will end up suing EA for the rest of us and require EA implement better refund processes when this **bleep** happens
Nerf whatever you want, but you should give back every single crystal spent on this event. Also money, of course.
it’s really hard to believe that you’re not able to run some proper test before release. Anyway, that’s on you, not on us.
Like one test would have shown you how op the ship is.
How is it possible for CG to not test this ship in the Exec fleet that it intended vs Leviathan *before* it's released? Was the intent for CG to screw (or scam) the very people (the spenders) that keep this game alive for the FTP folks and get their money first before they post an "oh crap...we didn't actually test it vs the CURRENT meta fleet" announcement and maybe nerf it?
Seriously what a joke! Not even out two hours, can only assume absolutely no testing was done at all, shameful. Meathead, thanks for at least keeping us informed.
Respect for you Meathead, though I gotta scream into the void, CG what was expected with this ship, the kit was insane??
Yikes.
Well, I was considering buying this today, but now I don't know what I'd even be buying, so I guess I'll wait until it's farmable.
