The Phantom was initially unbalanced way more than anything else before or since, a high PS Phantom in the hands of a skilled player was nigh invincible.

If there's any power creep it's short lived, because I think the X Wing is the only ship which has emerged as either over or underpowered that hasn't been successfully addressed in later expansions.

I'm happy to live with power swings, because at least FFG have demonstrated the willingness to try and fix them, unlike other certain wargaming companies I could mention.

It's going to be at least 1/2 your list, if you fatten it up, and it has one more shield than a Y Wing.

It will be a legitimate option, but it won't be an auto take, nor will it break the game. Frankly SnV needs something with a bit of flavour and some punch.
