Where's the "aggressive" fighter that will "decimate enemy defenses"? Look, you can polish a **** but it's still a **** no matter how shiny it is. I really hoped this ship was a game changer, but in once again let down...
Still waiting on that edit forum profile setting so I can change my name...

Unfortunately my sith assassin is nowhere near prepped, but that was a very effective opening attack. Combine it with ships that could call assassin to assist ( home one lead, cassian) or give him extra turns and it could be effective.
This was addressed when the fleet PVE table came out. They made the AI smarter and it now targets the weakest ship and just pounds it. Only thing to do is to get a taunting ship to protect it really.
Same experience as me, and when it did get attacks in it wasn't much. Maybe, the one the event gives you has low gear. Either way it wasn't a great advertisement to get people to buy it lol.
Cheers.
Also, assassin has a reinforcement bonus that will hide itself if you bring it off the bench. It's not meant to sit out in the open and absorb incoming fire, obviously.
Same thing I did. Vader plus a not-even-close to maxed Scimitar. Worked great. TFP, Silencer and FOTP off the bench. Only used them 2 or 3 times total over all the tiers.
The thing is, the new ship is so weak and so targeted by the "improved" AI that new players can't beat this marque. Its a f2p marque that has a toon so weak it can't do it. Maybe the marque buffs are bugged? seems weird to see the new thing being showed off this weak.
In my combat, he got like one turn. Didn't get to see him do anything as he was hitting weaker then my other ships and was much slower.
You need to use biggs to taunt the ai off one shotting it.
Also, I still love how the mods put these posts in places less people go to so threads can hardly pick up speed, there is multiple threads with 0 posts in this area, yet again, another thread gets put here and hidden away. I almost miss when we had the massive ship thread post that had everything get merged into it on the front page.
It was tough FOR A MARQUEE EVENT, one starred the final tier. Not even going to try the bonus tier, which is a shame as the drop rate on purple mats is ludicrous in fleet battles and I can't do the necessary tier in ship challenges yet.
They do realise there's lower level players who might like to be able to complete it right?
Given my recent entry to the game I've missed out on loads of stuff including Sion etc but these lower level players have to miss out because they can't actually beat it which means even if they're here for it they get to have a much longer farm later on (fleet battle hard node I expect).
I always figured Marquees were intended as an advertisement for new stuff, "look how good this is, now give us your money" sort of deal. Not really doing it's job in this instance. If Biggs doesn't taunt the thing is dead within a couple of hits.
I noticed T3's event is a little overtuned as well, unless it scales to what level you are.
