The OP only wrote about firepower and durability, so that's all I addressed.

Just bought a 2nd Pelta for my fleet.

Its gonna be my wave 8.

For discussion purposes <w<

I like to use the Assault Pelta with Draven. 3 Anti Squadron Dice with the option to take ExRacks or Flechettes. The Pelta can also provide Fleets Commands while using Projection Experts. (Only Small Ship with Engineering 4)

My biggest struggles with the Pelta are feeding it the massive number of tokens it can consume and its speed when not equipped Engine Techs (Burning navigates to keep it at speed 3 contributes to the first problem)

I feel like it's a solid little ship, but my third complaint about it is that Imperials got a solid platform for fleet command upgrades and the pelta feels really lackluster compared to either the Cymoon or Chimaera title

If only it could use Ordnance Experts or Screed to help generate those black crits for Flechettes. Major weakness.

Flight controllers would be a terror on this ship.

Fighter Coordination Team + AFFM means your B-Wings are suddenly faster than TIE Bombers!

Now imagine TWO Peltas, one activating B-wings and the other activating something else but both helping the B-wings along. Such a huge threat range, and they can stay with the fight even if one of the Peltas dies.

I think B-wings are best all-round squadrons for rebels aside from the slow speed. Pelta worth taking just for speed boost on B-wings. Also great for YT-1300s who are best Escorts in the game and great tanks for their cost.
