I'm currently a 3/3/3/3 imp pilot looking for a good place to grind XP and gain some fraction points too. Preferably this would be a place mostly without A-wings (they are annoying), but I'm not sure if that is possible. My currenty duty missions are against pirates not rebels. Does anyone have some good waypoints in space?

Dathomir duty-destroy missions. If you're a good pilot you shouldn't have much issue with the Tier 3/4 stuff.

Best XP & FP farming point I have found is this one :
Endor
D-435 hyperpoint
Nebulon B Frigate (approx 1.5K from the main Endor Space Station)
Constantly spawns groups of three tier 4 rebels => usually a b-wing and 2 x-wings but this can vary, I have rarely seen any a-wings among the spawns there.
A typical trip for me launching from Theed would be this :
(1) hyper to Endor, d-435
(2) Head for Empire's Station II to declare
(3) Fly back towards the main Endor Station
(4) Turn towards the Nebulon B Frigate
(5) En route pick out the B-wings first and clean up the rest at your leisure
I did this routine for about 4 hours yesterday and got 900K xp , lots of loot, 200K looted credits and enough faction points to go from Warrant Officer II to Second Lietenant (9K + I believe) and I am 2K into my 5K needed for Lieutenant. While I am sure the 8K tier 5 kills in kessel are much nicer to chase , I find this method more efficient with less risk while grinding out XP.
Hope this helps.

I did my entire Tier IV grind at the same spot mentioned by the previous poster when I was finishing my Imp Ace, went to Endor, declared, went back and killed all the rebs that are by the frigate. The space station is only about 1k away so you can quick run for repairs if things get hot, and the respawn is fast, so you can cap xp here very easily. Kessel is much nicer however if you're using the full complement of droid programs, (Engine overload 3, capacitor overload 3, reactor overload 4, and weapon overload 3) as you can kill ships in Kessel very quickly. Be sure to have cap to shield shunt handy however, in case things heat up (which can happen frequently) and also waiting for shields to recharge really slows the grind in Kessel. You will take damage from these Tier 5's, but don't panic =) Using the above method, I was finishing each Tier IV box in about 2 hours of steady play, while grinding at the Endor frigate took me approximately 4 hours per box. You do die on occasion, but even with down time for resetting programs and repairs etc, the grind is still faster, just use crafted components instead of your good RE loot, save that till you get to master.
After you get Ace, Deep space is hands down the primo place for Imps to grind FP, there are gunboats galore, and they cash in 194 FP each. They spawn in groups of 3, and sometimes the random turns that they do will do you in, but I have gotten 12k of faction here in the span of about 3 1\2 - 4 hours. If you're using the Decimator and have a friend to gun for you, you can take out these gunboats ridiculously easy, just cruise up behind and below them, press m to match speed of the ship and just fly the same course they do, meanwhile, the gunturret unloads on them with impunity and can disable\kill them at leisure. IF doing this method its best ot have one or two fighters with you as escort for the random escort craft that pop and aggro you when killing gboats
