Home One - An Ackbar Rework? (it's not a trap!)

Question

Alright, so as much as I love using the home one capital ship...it doesn't really cut it running against thrawn or tarkin. I eventually had to switch to a 6* exec because it's overall power is a 1-UP compared to home one. I guess my issue would be... even with prot gain, crit DMG, and his unique buff I can never hold a spot in the lower tier of fleet arena (1-30). This is with a maxed Biggs, falcon, and Bistan u-wing as well as some ds ships focusing on target lock. I'm not sure if Ackbar is obsolete now or what, but maybe he needs a zeta added to him somewhere to make his capital ship a little bit stronger to compete with the other top two. I don't really want to break down and use a DS capital ship when Ackbar should be just as viable, but I guess my only choice is to use the Executrix to reach ranks below 20.

Any feedback or opinions are encouraged because I feel like I'm not alone in wanting to use Ackbar's ship. I love my rebels.

You open to using Geos?

Geos is a way, but I do still club Ackbar geo's.

I think the snyergy between Ackbar and Rebels should be larger. More benefits. They always relied on power instead of numbers. The rebels need more ships like the A-Wing's with Nien Numb for Example and b-Wings with Ten Numb for example. Some powerhouses at least. Maybe even a Red 1 - Pilot Luke

AlwaysEDIT... hmmm well you actually want a "Pilot" Luke..... that I can get behind... Just not a CLS Xwing that's bad idea

It definitely doesn't help that key stars in the storyline don't have ships (CLS, Han, Porkins, etc.). My fleet arena top 50 is all Tarkin and Thrawn, but mostly Thrawn. Why? Because you can get to Thrawn's ultimate quicker. I've seen a couple people using Geos as their front three, once in a while someone has Sun Fac in reinforcements, but haven't seen an Ackbar stay in the top 50 for very long.

My bug ships are all 7*, but I'm still building up my last pilot to 7*. The pilots are only level 53ish so I'm not gonna try putting them in. (Sure would be nice to get a higher tier credit heist for all the things we are having to do.) Regardless, it depends on what your fleet shard is doing as to what you should do. If you get too far away from the standard front, people will want to hit you more because your fleet is different.

Everyone talks about the geo's being so good, but I'm not seeing it. I spank anyone I see using them. And my own team can't buy a win on offense.
