The Empire has an image problem.

Spoken like a true Fed.
Style and utility are the most important aspects of a ship.
truth be told, the Fed ships and their specialisation just feel better. The Empire needs dedicated single-roll ships too to branch out into.
Hmm, but...
...lets say we would stumble over another living alien faction then the Thargoids, and both the Feds and the Empire would each send one of their capital class ships...
...whom do you think they would trust more after that first impression? The Feds and its rather dark and martial looking Farragut-class battlecruiser...
...or the Empire and its bright, elegant and majestic Majestic-class Interdictor?

Who says that Xenos need to be bugs? looks at Star Trek's Orions, Star Wars' Twi'leks and Mass Effect's Asari

Depends. If they were friendly they’d feel less threatened, yes. If they were hostile they’d probably be more inclined to invade if they saw the majestic..
Xenos are Xenos. It's simple as that.
groans, then decides to not repeat AGAIN what Imperial slavery is
Seriously, what vile propaganda are they teaching the Feds in school and beyond?
Spoken like a true Fed.
Why are we pretending Feds only can fight in Fed ships and Imperials only in Imperial ships here?
OP wasn't roleplaying, he asked a genuine and non-rp question I believe.
Anyway, to answer OP: well at the moment, the story tends to lean "Empire=EVIL!!" but that's just at this moment. It'll roll around, as it always has. Shortly, they'll have Hudson or Winters do something dastardly and on and on it goes.
The Empire in it's old form has run it's course. The old rules of succession have failed. The Duvals are an endangered species. Maybe ALD can reforge the Empire but so far there is little sign of it.
I'm just waiting for the Alliance's turn to be the bad guys (though maybe among some xeno-friendlies they already are)
I've looked at my statement several times, and I still can't see where I wrote that.
You just need to get that guy that was crowing about how Fed CGs don't finish back to do some crap-talking. Job done.
Maybe we should remind the galaxy that the best place to go for a vacation is in the Empire? I mean: Just go and take a closer look at the system description of Baltah'Sine. 
Now excuse me, I need to pack for my next vacation there.

just because i dislike slavery (whether in life or for RP reasons) doesn't mean i support the feds. feds allow black markets where slavery can still exist. but its the imps that flood the galaxy with owned souls.
in case it isn't clear, no human desires being owned or in debt to another. nor should they. and i shall remind any pilot found carrying slaves of any kind in game of the consequences.
The empire is a monarchy - that alone is cause for it's annihilation as an anathema to human progress.
