But one them died at the DSII two of them fled and one was captured by the rebels and executed.
And if there were so many grand admirals how could imperials lose?

I think they look cool.

In earlier it was mentioned that MCC shileds were quite weak. How is it then said in the book Balance Point that "Mon Cal cruisers' shields were legendary - almost invincible"?

They had weaker shields than ISDs....their only advantage was multiple shield generators and backup shields.

Overall, the multiple shield generators (while individaully weaker) generated a stronger shield, which would remain in operation even if one (or more) generator(s) were destroyed, whereas the Imperial ships had one powerful generator (which if destroyed leaves the ship with no shields).

Which begs the question why Home One in EAW/FoC had a shield generator, and why in the TR minimod, the new Mon Cal cruisers for the Rebel Alliance had shield generators.

Even together they were still weaker than the ISDs shield. While they had multiple shield generators...ISDs had one helluva powerful single one.

I think they should make newer and better ships for the rebels

That sorta goes against them being..well...Rebels. They didn't have that many resources at all. In fact, they owned inhabited worlds besides Mon Calamari. All the Mon Calamari could do was convert a few passenger liners.

It'd be more realistic for the rebels ships to have kind of a random hardpoint generator

I know it wont happen, but if anything rebels should have less uniform ships, not better ones

unfortunately the limitations of the game probably prevent much variety in ships.

I agree, because the idiots relied on one speciec to produce there most powerful ships and the best they got were converted cruiseliners which is equivilent to mounting guns on an ocean liner

Idiots? The Mon Cal were the only chance they had at capital ships. They had few resources, and anyone else capable of making capital ships were Imperial.

Mon Cal was their only thing closest to a shipyard they could use
