This ship was a huge letdown given all the hype and steep requirement to unlock. Yes its great on offense but most fleets are good on offense very few are great on defense. Devs made it seem like if you get this ship you rule your shard like getting a GL rules non-GL teams but it isn't the case.

My personal opinion of fixing this is maybe give ship give all ship on fleet a plus 10% speed boost for any empire or bh ships. It would solve issue of it being too fast without altering too much to make the ship completely op

Yeah I think the biggest thing is to fix it so a 7* Executor is better than a 4*. Fix that speed issue. Then I am sure when Dengar's ship comes in it can make the fleet a little more of a challenge on defense. I think that would do enough to improve the Capital ship without making it game breaking.

If they make the Capital Ship game breaking.. people in highly active older shards should prepare for nothing but mirror match after mirror match for the next year. Seems some are foolish enough to believe it will give them an advantage where if they are in a shard that old.. there is no reason a 100 others won't have it also. Constant mirror matches kill squad based games.

We already have a stale miror match system and have had that for 2+ years...Neg vs Neg or Neg vs Mal same old same old, we don't expect arena to be that stagnant why should ships be any less. And as far as being foolish, many would not have gone all in on Executor if CG hadn't specifically said it would be the new Meta.

well they released Raddus and Finalizer since Negotiator & Malevolence came out. But neither of them is meta and that was CG's intent. They're just there to force you to farm harder for a GL, I'd guess. Especially since second batch of GLs required a pilotless ship instead of a cap ship. tbf they can beat Malevolence and Negotiator. They're just terrible in ship arena.
