I'm not trying to defend CG, and disappointment is understandable but the ship has just been released. Maybe give it a bit more time before concluding that it's not worth the investment?

In my eyes, this is indefensible. The insane requirements, which many have already brought up, and ship inflated my GP and put me in a GAC bracket where I have no chance for even minor success. For two brackets previous, I was outclassed by anyone with a GL, so another source of gear / mod / zeta mats was unavailable to me. I was working on non-GL counters to GL to have a chance, but in comes that nerf. If I stick this out, I'll be grabbing my ankles and puckering up for a very long time. That's not my idea of fun.

Understood. I just think it might take a new ship or an AI tweak to make it more of a defensive option. I don't think what we are seeing is the finished state.

Wasn't Darth Revan considered lacklustre on release? Palp got a nerf, Malak came out and it was absolutely the meta.

Would be helpful to have someone from CG to comment here.

I'm sorry this was easily detectable in the beta. And if it wasn't you got the wrong players in the beta. Malevolence/Negotiator would have been easily found.

You're probably right on that. And I doubt they threw it out there without testing, but I think what is being neglected is that the executor might be WAI. There is no reason to just piss off your community while making a few bucks. You'd make more money by making it a fantastic unbeatable ship, so those that waited realize they desperately need the ship too. I would trust that there's more to come, like more Bounty Hunter ships, that make it at least better on defense, but not unbeatable.
