Who cares? Rebels get all the ships they are supposed to in this time period. I am happy with what we got. I just wish the PLY was a reward, not a burden so I can use the three rebel ships that I want to use.

Yes it can be done.
Played on beta and used the proper masses after they changed them near the end and still managed to master the rebel pilot tree. If you can't fit everything on, use a y-wing longprobe. Yes I know it handles like a bus, but that's the point, it's a fighter/bomber. Not supposed to be as maneuverable as the x-wing or a-wing.
I personally prefer the x-wing for just about everything and so far am 4433 and have solo'd both of my tier 4 missions. Ok granted both times I was lucky and quite cheeky about keeping the TIEs occupied, but that's the point. Don't just rely on being able to kill them first - that's what IFF and Eshields were designed for. When outnumbered and outgunned, tactics win the battle.
Besides, the point is
a) by tier 2 rebels have already had 2 high mass ships, imps have not.
b) imps are supposed to have the larger selection of, and in fact better developed craft.
what do you suggest they do? make another ship up?

If you think the rebel ships are underpowered you are not using them right. The X-Wing has 100k mass, easily enough for two high level guns and good sheilds/armor. It can also turn pretty fast when you lower your speed.
The A-Wing is just pure speed, but still has 65k mass which is very manageable still.

Because you get your high mass ship at L1.
Now answer my question why do imp's and rebels get 3 ship cert's at master and privateers only get 2?

Think the WHINING imp's and rebels in beta wanting the firespray had something to do with it.
Firespray was privateer only.
