Why is ackbars ship far superior to mace and Tarkins
His ship has way better abilities to everyone else. Tarkin only has one good move and by the time I can use it it's already ended.

- Tarkin's ship at the moment is inferior, no doubt. But I've noticed something interesting about his ship compared to the others. His command ship has actual synergy with other Imperial ships, where as the others are pretty much good with any faction.
This means when more Imperial ships are added like the; TIE Interceptor, TIE Bomber, and Lamda Class Shuttle. His ship could possibly be the best, if you're running an Empire fleet. Which for me will be awesome, since I'm an Empire guy running an all Empire arena team, as well gearing the others just because I like them.
Imagine if me farming and wasting good gear on General Veers and Stormtrooper, actually led to me being ship arena champion, lol. "War;774335" wrote:

I'm an Empire fan myself (incidentally, if you like the Empire, check out THIS THREAD) and I believe that we need more Imp pilots. But Veers? He's a ground forces commander, I doubt we'll ever see him in space. But we need a Royal Guard Interceptor, a regular Interceptor, maybe some TIE Avengers and Defenders... an all-Empire fleet with the Executor leading would be awesome!- Mace is much better. His taunt can ruin your whole game and his abilities are far better...
- I don't think the others are as bad as people are making them out to be. I ran Mace command ship with Ahsoka, Fives, Plo, JC and either Biggs or Wedge and it's pretty good. I don't even have Mace and Plo maxed out yet. If I had Rex it would be even stronger.
I use Ackbar as well, I'm just trying everything right now. But people are writing off ships when they've barely played them or haven't seen all the combinations and I just think it's a mistake. "Galdin_Wan;774459" wrote:

No one said Mace Windu was bad, just that Ackbar has some nice abilities, and Tarkin does not. Mace Windu is actually pretty great because of that taunt thing he has. And Ackbar has cleanses and assists that can really mess you up.
The focus has been on Tarkin who does not have anything really going for him at the moment. But like I said above, Empire synergy once we have more of those ships, will greatly enhance his effectiveness.- Mace ship is bugged ATM , one of the specials is not working properly. Acbars AoE owns
- You can't spell "Windu" without WIN.
He's the best commander there is--AND he's bugged. Just imagine how much better he'll be once they fix the bugs. - I have been interested in this thread because akbar is somewhat widely owned. Akbar ship works as a capital ship for all- no great synergy but useful.
Mace has great target lock synergy
Tarkin has great empire synergy
Basically Akbar is the teaser- like GS when the game started a year ago. You think it's best now but I see the other being much more useful when other configurations are tested. - Not to mention that between Mod challenges, Palpatine event, Imperial Assault Military Might event, and just being a very good character in general, everyone has Ackbar and everyone has him geared and levelled.
The general consensus is that Tarkin and Windu are trash tier garbage boys, so people haven't bothered to invest in them as much.
The disparity in investment amplifies whatever differences there might be. "Asic;774831" wrote:

+1000 Ackbar will become a crazy old meta in ships in some months. His ship is somehow a "Captain Phasma".
