[2020] Does anyone else feel that the Empire is severly underpowered?

So New Republic Ships have: -Shields -Less degeneration of power in subsystems -Because of shields taking repair as an aux choice isnt necessary so (2 spots) -The M80s capital ships subsystems are much harder to recognize compared to the star destroyer.

The Empire -No Shields -Power degenerates from everything quickly -Shunting power from engines can completely stop your momentum. -Because of no shields repair is almost necessary for one of the aux components

How is this supposed to be a fair meta? Even when I play New Republic I feel like I unfairly decimate the empire often going 10-0 or better. But as empire I feel so fragile, and it seems like my opponents have so much more going for them.

Anyone else?
