Executor is a beast? [MERGE]

The problem isn't the Executor's poor performance on defense, it's CG's hype of this being the new meta and something even maxed top end fleets will have a hard time beating at 7*.

What we (appear) to have have given is another ship that can beat other fleets but can be beaten by the same fleets. That's not a new meta, that's adding to the existing meta.

I'd be completely fine with a new offensive fleet if CG hadn't hyped this as more. That let down is made worse due to the high requirements CG put on getting this fleet, because they claimed...high requirements were needed to reflect the dominance this ship would have.

Unless there's additional ships which will change its defensive holds, or some AI changes made, then CG isn't living up to their promise of this being a new meta. At best, they've given the Executor owners an easier arena climb. If that's the case...then for me, I'll wish I hadn't bloated my roster and diverted all that gear/relic material away from my Lord Vader farm since my fleet climb would have remained possible without the Executor.

That said, I'm hopeful there's more to come in terms of ships or AI changes to justify CG's hype....because let's face it....if CG hadn't plugged this as much, it wouldn't be as big a deal.
