In response to the posters question:
As stated above each rebel ship is better at certain tasks than others. If you want to know the best all around ship - its the X-wing IMHO. It usually weighs in around 99k and you can equip it for serving as a General Purpose craft for dogfighting, light bombing, escort, etc.
I myself use an A-wing for most dogfighting, esp. in PvP. For fun, though,I hunt Tier 4 and 5 TIEs with my B-wing. I stuck an engine in with good YPR and use Engine Overload 3and thatmakes itperform better. Usingit requires some grace and finess as it handles very slugishly.Also with 2 level 8 and 9 blasters it packs a good punch.

i think the problem is you guys are not using a good enough droid with all the good commands, i run engine overload 3, reactor overlaod 4, capacitator overload 4, and weapon overload 4 (dont try this if not a master) and it allows me to run lvl 2-3 capacitator and never have to let go of the trigger, i use a 3k mass reactor with 13000 energy and i heavily go over it, my weapons and ordanances (got 3 in my tie-opp) go to at least 15k energy, i use two level 8 weapons that are around 2k-3.2k dmg (they are purple and i like to roleplay though crafted lvl 9 ones are better) and i stick all of my mass into my engine, and 2 weapons, everything else is low grade stuff except the standard lvl 7 crafted shield, i use a lvl 1 droid itnerface at under 500 mass and 14.7 speed and a 104.2 speed engine allowing me to out maneuver a-wings and hit them very consitently, i just dont want to know what a PC a-wing would be like if they overloaded with all 4 of these droid commands. these commands allow you to put all your extra mass into a good engine/weapon and have everything else very sub-par, and you dont even need armor unless you just are a bad pilot and plan to get hit. ive soloed corvettes with ease and gunboats are laughable, though it helps having bstrike3 for the corvette which you rebels do not get but you rebels can still get all the good droid commands allowing you to use a 2-3k mass reactor/capacitator without even worrying about performance. my tie-opp runs 1218 speed with eo3, i dont use boosters because the second i see a ton of enemies that might kill me i punch in hyperspace coordinants and fly around to engage them, if the battle goes in my favor i just type /abort but if it looks like i might be in danger i just let the timer count off, a booster is a big waste of mass imo, it is better to stick in lvl 6 proton launchers that have about 5k mass and load up on missiles/coutnermeasures.
if i were using an a-wing with the 65k mass limit i'd stick in a good looted/RE'd 21-25k lvl 8 weapon and a 90+speed engine with the standard 17k shield and just put low mass parts everywhere else since the droid commands will allow you to maneuver perfectly and be able to shoot forever. oh and dont forget to load cap to shields stunt incase you REALLY need it, always keep it handy. all these 4-5 commands can be put in a lvl 5 droid interface incase you are 4/x/x/4 or whatever but i highly disadvise using all these commands unless you are ace, because you will hurt your ship fast if you are not and have to repair it at the space station, when you are ace you can always fly to deep space and suicide whenever your ship gets in danger, 30k prestige is so easy to get it is the normal way to repair your ship for free without durability loss. and g'luck with your a-wing though if i were a reb i'd use a b-wing or firespray because they can kill you isntantly with those lvl 10 weapons.
