no tarkin is pretty much useless in my opinion unless you solely focus on him
his expose pretty much gets resisted most of the time and is even more detrimental if opponents have rex(resisting heals protection)
his executive order is awesome but it starts on cooldown so again by the time its usable some of you good and high dps ships are dead
his aoe ability block attack is the best 2nd special attack in the game and the only thing that comes remotely close is mace red dots but even then tarkin shines here
his imperial assault is also quite good, only drawback is that if you dodge it all 12 attacks are dodged and stun does not stick
so tarkin is a good ship in its own right but its not good enough to compete with ackbar and mace
if his 1st special did not start on cooldown and his ultimate attack attacked 12 times instead of damaging 12 times he would be able to compete quite well in arena
