Grand Moff Tarkin is pathetic.

I agree. People have told me that tarkin can be very powerful at max level but i do not see how this can be when there are practically 0 synergies available to tarkin and the rebel/republic ships are clearly (clear to my level 70 or something tarkin against an enemy of the same) superior in terms of abilities and stats. Not to mention, of course, the much better ability tactics displayed by both mace and akbar. Tarkin has straight power, yes, but its loathingly weak in comparison to superior strategy.
