Getting r4 rebels is an investment of time & resources... if it is the achilles heel of the new fleet, then why not ?

Han, chewie and Biggs are all prerequisites and, for Han and Chewie, great characters. So the investment of time/resource for them is not for fleet only. Ackbar and the Uwing duo are a fleet only relic (about r5) investment (ackbar needed at relic level being debatable).
For executor you need to high relic 7 characters (2 of them up to r8), 1 useful (vador), 1 useful but overgeared (piett), 5 meh.

So the investment of time and resources issue is not off the table imo. It’s not about ‘paying for winning’, it’s about ‘why spending all these resources for the new stuff if a far smaller amount of resources can do the same job ?’.

Same can be said about most of the GLs. By your logic, of the new GLs aren't unbeatable, they're not worth the grind. And that can be your opinion, but that doesn't mean that that's correct.

Anyhow, there's clearly an error, as it doesn't make sense that a lower star Exec works better than a 7*, tha'ts a clear desing flaw and an oversight that has to be fixed. And maybe a couple of AI tweaks, like using the forced taunt on other ships rather than the HT. Fix that and I think the ship will be at a desired level (maybe not as high as it was advertised, but still top of the meta).

Nobody said GLs were unbeatable. CG said Executor was unbeatable though.
