The new ship does Quick work of the EXE for sure but….. it has on kitten mode for defense any chance you’ll take off the training wheels and make it a a defense ship? No mark at start and Han wiggles at start? Seems like CG got a serious case of kitten mode. Seems crazy to have to take it off defense in arena no?

It does everything wrong. Its like the AI hasnt played the game before
Hey, there are still lots of people who are not privileged to get Profundity this round. Give the F2P community some room to breath. We don't want to auto-lose the match because of your new shiny toy in the next GAC.
So you agree GG should buff the Profundity defense (whether by actual touch up/small rework or just AI twik)?
To be clear- I think the Profundity should preform similar to the Executor on defense (almost impossible to any none GL ship) but I'm perfectly OK with the Profundity lose to the Executor on defense
Well it seems to work on defense against every thing but executor...
Its like the AI is specifically designed to be dumb when you bring exec in against it
I am not.
I want exec to beat it, as thats good for the game... what i dont like is it beats it because the ai plays super badly.
That said i dont get how they fix that... but its annoying that i cut through them on offense like they literally arent there, then because it doesnt do the right attacks on AI defense, it loses
To be perfectly honest... you should expect to lose to the shiny new in GAC as f2p on your fist gac with it in play.
Thats how the game works. Like or hate it, thats the deal
But dont worry, set your exec on defense and profun will take in outrider, ywing and han... and solo it with no need to call in another ship.
And thats what, 77 banners?
Thats what will be coming next gac
If that's the way the game should work, then why I'm still in Kyber1 as F2P? LoL
And why shall I do that? You seriously think any player with senses will still put Executor on defense against Profundity?
Not sure what else you were expecting. It’s delivered what CG said it kitten*.
Would you be in favor of a defensive buff to Exector that didn't allow you to "cut through them on offense" and forced you to play a very very good match to win? That's what you're asking for but in the reverse for Prof.
The Exec isn't nearly impossible for any non-GL ship. Considering Profundity is the only other one, and I regularly one-shot opponents' Execs in GAC with my GG fleet, I'm gonna have to say your insinuation isn't in the slightest bit accurate.
Exactly as they promised.
So you're happy that you can beat Exec ridiculously easily, but don't like that the AI is toned down to allow Exec to win on offense? We can complain about lack of communication from CG about many things, but they specifically stated that they want the ships to counter each other on offense. This is apparently the way CG decided to balance the two ships, which is likely easier from a developer standpoint than messing with kits so it's WAI.
But the intention is attacker wind Profundity vs Executor. Attacker wins Malevolence/Negotiator/Chimera, but loses to Profundity or Executor. Rest are Paper/scissors/rock/lizard/Spock and generally lose to anything in the tier above.
Silly.
Isn’t “kitten” an auto-filter for swearing in posts?
We’re not saying the AI shouldn’t change. We’re saying that if it’s still succeeding on defense against the tiers of capital ships beneath it, then it’s not such a big deal because—overall—it’s still operating where they want it to: at the top, tied with Executor.
If it’s losing regularly to lesser (but relatively equal-powered) fleets then that’s a problem that needs to be addressed.
But we’re very few of us saying “Nah, man, everything is fine, no worries.” We’re saying it’s not a gamebreaker, the way Executor’s AI and early tier 6 abilities were.
No
Oh. News to me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
