Executor is a beast? [MERGE]

Just wanted to add 1 to the disappointed people. I saved a lot to get Executor 7* day 1 and spent some money only to discover that this 'good luck' beast is easily and consistenly beaten by Male and H1 fleets. I did not expect it to be unbeatable, but I did expect at least some rng factor so that people taking on the Executor with other fleets need to take an actual risk of losing. It does not seem so now.

Being an offensiwe powerhouse is definitely not good enough with such an investment.

It's depressing that Akbar can beat Exe easily. Regreting to get this ship

Ackbar can beat Malo and Neg. easy too. And I remember that these cap ships wasn’t easy to get.

Easier then Exe? common, its completely diferrent amount of gear

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.

I mean guys an A-wing blew it up how strong could it be?

Just for reference when we were being hard sold this ship @CG_Miller said (in actual recorded words out of his mouth) the following things:
"There was a long overdue need for a meta refresh"
"We wanted to shake up the meta"
"This has been planned since Piett came out"
"The team knocked it out of the park on this ship"
"You'll be able to stick it on Defense, it'll hold its own on the defensive side"
"This ship is coming into the top of the meta"
"We wanted to ensure players who were investing in this ship were investing in a top of the meta ship and being rewarded for their investment"
"Spent days thinking about the ultimate and what this ship could do as a top of the meta ship"
"You're really just bringing Empire ships to kinda fill out the rest of the reinforcements"
"Making a top of the meta ship is a lot easier than say something in the top-5"
"This is going to be the top of the meta for a while"
"Existing top of the meta fleets against a 4-star Executor should have a chance...when there are 7-star Executors out there hopefully you'll have yours too!"
"We're requiring pilots are relic levels so If you're getting the Executor your pilots and Piett are something you don't then have to worry about"
"It is a very powerful top of the meta ship"

...So, yeah, ooh wonder why people invested in this requirement-heavy ship expecting it to be able to hold on defense and be worthy of the title of a meta changing investment (...that many of us chose instead of GL Lord Vader since we couldn't afford to do both!)

I want the crystals back. 5* Executor beats 7* easily. What a scam! Guys, let ask for money back. The unit is not good as advertised!

Not only that but you can get smoked playing a 7* vs a lower star on offense. Bringing in Boba starting gives you a chance to win but only if Boba doesn't get wrecked. Its due to the higher starred ship being faster than everything else. You are forced to use basic on your first attack with the cap ship otherwise you waste your important build up moves. Either that or strip mods from Piett (lol) and make a ship like IG88 faster. Also, Home One/Malevolence should not be destroying this ship. All I see today are Home One or Malevolence fleets at the top of my shard lol.

It's an absolute joke.There is no way they let this stand. If they do they should prepare for chargeback city from the spending player base.

They've told us over and over that they don't want undergeared/leveled characters outperforming higher ones (see Zombie). Do something about it fast CG.

Totally agree. Those BH ships are slow and squishy. They dont have loyal defending like Negotiator or protection recovery like Home 1. When HT dies or lose taunt, the whole fleet collapses easily. It is ok on offense but it sucks on defense. Guildmates confirms Malevolence wins Executor easily. They should change something.

Hey guys, just wanna show you this:

Because of the turn order a 5-Star-Executor can auto a maxed 7-Star-Executor.

7-Star-Executor fleet is maxed with full 6 dot mod, the 5-Star-Executor fleet has only 2 six dot mods. The turn order of the fleet is much better at a 5-star Executor. It fits perfectly to fulfill the contracts. But for a 7-Star-Executor its harder to achieve the contract.

CG should adjust the turnorder to fits much better for the contracts

Unfortunately both fleets don’t have the same starters/ri. I found Xanadu at first ri much, much more efficient to speed up the contracts.
I’m not saying that you’re wrong though; just that the same video with identical line ups would speak louder. If you could, that would be awesome.
