A lot of talk about how the lower healing and turn meter manipulation and whatnot is a nerf to Empire. This is mistaken.
It’s a buff to Empire, because other factions get nothing at all. It’s just a larger buff to Bounty Hunters and a smaller one to Empire.
The intent is obvious—this is a Bounty Hunter leader first and an Empire leader second because there are so few Bounty Hunter ships.
Only Resistance gets shafted like that ?
A buff would have been easy to achieve with “immune to TM reduction”, not TM manipulation which includes both gain and reduction. As has been pointed out, a lot of Empire ships have TM gain abilities which now won’t longer work under the Executor. Other non-Empire ships aren’t blocked this way.
Being able to plan a team around it makes it hurt less, especially with a lot of BH ships to work with as well, but it is a detrimental ability. Specifically giving less Health and Protection to the TIE Advanced doesn’t help either.
