    "selftext": "So right now I’m trying to get a 6\\* executrix, but I’m not able to beat the challenge. i know that gear level and character level help the ship, but after that I’m kind of confused. My tarkin  has 177 speed but the ship is only 133, my tie silencer has pretty low max health despite g12 KRU with a zeta. So how do I beat this challenge? will upgrading uniques help the ship or do they not apply?",

      "body": "The GP of the pilot is tied to the gp of the ship. Gear level is also tied to ship abilities but it stops at XI. \n\nThe pilots actual stats are irrelevant though. A fast pilot doesn't mean a fast ship. If putting health mods on Gar Saxon for example makes him crazy slow as a character and even more useless in a squad but gives him higher gp then it's a lot more useful to do that. \n\nI can't actually remember that challenge, as soon as I was able to get him to five I got him to six almost immediately and by accident. \n\nI had the required ships starred but only the three starters were strong. The key ship with Tarkin is Tie fighter, use Tie Fighters turn meter ability as your first move. The one that gives it dodge because it gives turn meter to the capital ship every time it dodges and you want to get your reinforcements and abilities off first.\n\nEdit: seriously, focus on keeping Tie fighter alive and using its dodge ability to give Executrix time meter, a tank to keep the pressure off Tie fighter is vital."

Use 5-dot mods until gear 11 and try to switch to 6-dot mods at g12. What doesn't matter though are the mod stats and mod tier (color). Meaning grey, blue and gold mods yield the exact same ship stats even though the ship GP changes."
