Is the Core set Unbalanced for fleet lists? Help with a Rebel Build?

Imperials - 174 (Core Only)

Victory II-class Star Destroyer - 150

- Grand Moff Tarkin

- Dominator

3 Tie Fighter Squadrons - 24

Victory II-class Star Destroyer (85) + Grand Moff Tarkin (38) + Dominator (12) = 135 points, not 150.

I think the core set has some issues.

It takes a lot of work for the empire to win. Catching and killing well piloted rebel ships is nigh on impossible.

Managing actual damage on the Star Destroyer is equally difficult. Which means, from what I've seen, that fighter battles or objectives determine the game. I'm not sure that's especially great. But it puts the rebels at a significant advantage so long as they avoid the fight.
