Executor is a beast? [MERGE]

I personally know free-to-play or very light spenders who had to decide whether to go after GL Vader or Executor first because of their very limited resources. Many decided Executor because it was stated this would be the top ship and the new meta on multiple occasions. They didn't decide on this ship to just have another offensive option.

If you're f2p and considering only those 2 options, then you are probably late game. But, I understand that doesn't change the f2p cost of getting the ship.

When GLs were first released it was possible to counter them with non-GLs (though it was harder than it seems the counters to executor are), now that we're going to have 6 GLs in the game, CG is very much limiting non-GL counters to GLs. If the meta is executor and only executor, then it would become boring very fast. When we get more executor level capital ships, maybe it gets better on defense. Personally, a "get the executor or die" meta doesn't sound like any fun. But a meta where there are still several good-to-great options is much more diverse and healthy for the game.
