Need help with Fleet Arena please.
Guys, I'm getting owned in Fleet Arena by ships, with half the stars than mine. Mine ships are also mostly fully upgraded. I can't defeat the tank ships I'm pitted out against (though I have the sa...

Oops forgot your other question (& comment):
I'm not using HomeOne, because Empire's Executrix has the best geared Admiral (Tarkin).
The people who have been helping you know that. We're not saying you made a bad choice at the time. We're just saying that with 2 equally geared Fleet Commanders one of these ships is better than the other. That one is Home-1.
You will need to make complicated judgements about when to switch from a ship with less potential but more current power (Executrix) to the ship with more potential but less current power (Home-1). When to do that will be based on when & how much you can increase Ackbar's gear, which Rebel ships you have available, which Empire or Geonosian ships you have available, etc.
It won't be easy, but people will be here to help.
Can I use empire's Executrix with rebel fighters, though? At least for now?
Of course! But if you read the kits, Home-1 provides special bonuses for Rebel fighters, and Han's Millennium Falcon gains special benefits if its capital ship is of the Rebel faction (and right now Home-1 is the only Rebel Capital ship, though maybe someday we'll get an even better one).
Likewise, Executrix provides special bonuses to Empire ships. You were wondering how ships that look less capable are beating you? It's because they're carefully choosing which ships to put together on the same battlefield to take maximum advantage of that synergy.
You can use anything with anything, but the synergies make it much more effective to use certain things with certain other things. These synergy bonuses can get swamped if one ship is completely terrible because its pilot & crew have far too little gear (the way that Home-1's bonuses are overwhelmed by the difference in gear between your g12 Tarkin & g8 Home-1), but they still matter.
Other people are beating you with less gear and fewer ship upgrades because they're taking maximum advantage of those synergies. You're maintaining a high fleet rank based on raw power rather than clever strategy. Listen to the people in this thread and you'll be able to pair good strategy with your already high power and become unstoppable.
