Gives people who reliced those characters a nice gift
not really.. since executor dispels stealth
Not talking about Razor Crest. Executor allows BH ships to ignore the Taunts of crewless tanks.
It's not crewless though is it, it's crewed by first order officer
Read the whole chain. I'm agreeing with that point.
Evilhighlander (correctly) pointed out as it has a crew the Executor fleet won't ignore it.
Onexy (incorrectly) said that Executor dispels stealth so could target the other ships.
Power creep. Executor wasn't in the mix back when the other fleets were getting their tanks, but now there is a huge distinction between crewed versus crewless ships due to how Executor ignores taunt. It's probably meant to give Executor a harder time walking over these fleets.
Are they all of a sudden going to hard-counter Executor? Probably not, but it's still adding some utility to these fleets as cleanup fleets.
no different than some video game ive never heard of
Executor does dispel stealth so I think you're misremembering something.
yes, in the past every galactic chase unit went to a cantina or a hard node after 3 months
They follow the marquee release cadence
Imperial Tie Bomber - Dark Side Hard
Rebel Y-Wing - Fleet Hard
Hyena Bomber - Dark Side Hard
Ebon Hawk - Cantina
Emperor’s Shuttle - Dark Side Hard
Tie Echelon - ?
MG StarFortress - ?
He's clearly saying someone incorrectly claimed the executor doesn't dispel stealth.
No. That's not what I said at all.
Someone wrongly claimed that once the Executor dispelled the stealth, BH allies would be able to target other ships around TIE Echelon. They can't do that, as the TIE Echelon is not a crewless ship.
Although, the Echelon only actually Taunts as a reinforce… wait, no, Finalizer circumvents that.
It wasn't released as a galactic chase, like these two. It was released as a conquest character, and then boosted though a Chase. They still haven't said where it will go the following month.
Update’s probably tomorrow with oWampa. But who knows.
My bet is coming on thursday, so I'm hoarding my energy rn
I'm fine with the 4* Fortress thing, I'm not gonna use it anyway lol
