You forgot to put Major Stridan as pre #1 aka the best!
Omicron group pilot.
It's probably still the most played imperial large base ship in the games history.

This is true, but only because it's the cheapest ship that can take Palpatine. If you take away Palp, it would never be played.
Before Palpatine, there was Vader crew. OGP has been popular since day one, and remains so now, even after the demise of Palp lists.

Oh wait
Kagi belongs in the top 10, especially in this munitions meta.

There's an argument for Dormitz and SKBP being higher up in that one 3-Upsilon list, but that's inherently a trap list, if your opponent has seen it before, groks how to beat it, or even has read about how to beat it, it'll fail hard.
RAC and Oicunn are both solid, and I would argue both playable in the current meta although Oicunn is worse than RAC and there are fewer lists that fit him well.
Kenkirk is a reasonable choice, but his ability is way worse than Oicunn or RAC.
Kylo is great but arc locked and has to pay through the nose to turn round, so not all that useful in the current meta, but might be if the PS race slows enough to make 8 a viable place to bid and catch things.
Stridan is a strong support ship that costs more than a third of your list and that's a bad thing when he's getting maybe one shot off in most games.
OGP used to be top but then palp nerf.
PL, Kagi and Jendon just mostly suck.
It's SO sad that there are literally two of these that I could even possibly see showing up in top tier competition at the moment, and only one of them does, and even then not much.
I don't work weekends.

Don't know why Stridan is so low. Coordinate on range 1-3 is pretty amazing, in a ship with a native 4red dices and a system slot.
Omnicron is there only for the Emperor. Right now I will not put it in 2#.
Co-ordinate on range 1-2 is pretty amazing too. And the only Upsilon pilot to actually make any serious waves is Kylo so I think it's fair to push the others below the secondary Decimator pilots.
The Lambda is still good because the Emperor is still good, and it's also showing up with Kylo crew now as well. I know what you mean about the Emperor but it's a bit like saying "I'm not sure why Dash is rated so highly, he's only there for Heavy Laser Cannon".
Lol I thought about the Firespray when I started the list but apparently it is so far down I forgot about it by the end.
The Upsilon is difficult to make work because it inevitably occupies more than a third of your list, and gets maybe two shots in if you're lucky, before your opponent has either killed it or got behind it. Coordinate is great, but it's not worth a third of your list to give one extra action per round.
Heck the Bomber Buddy (Scimitar/Shuttle/Fleet/Systems/Mk2) proves it's not even worth 22% of your list to give out 2 extra actions per round.
The Emperor is nowhere near as useful as a Heavy Laser Turret, any more.
He's still the go to power offence/defence crew, but it's no longer worth bringing a ship you don't expect to contribute much else to the fight, solely to tote Sheev around. Which is why the best current RAC build is VI/Palp/Kylo/Engine/Possibly Dauntless depending on how much the wingmate costs, and you use Palp mostly to chuck out extra crits to get ISYTDS off.
