It's a tough fix. You could boost stats, but you need to find the right point of giving them a chance without overpowering them.
I play Republic, and literally as soon as you fly into the base, 80+ Imps are waiting there to gank you as soon as you land.
It's really annoying how so many people went Imperials. I don't get why so many people have a hard on for always playing the bad guys like it makes them tough or badasses by association or something.
Yes being a big underdog can suck, but it does beat roflstomping your way to the top of the chain and having nothing to do for months on end until the next major patch.
