Mmm yes, but there's the rub of having a Gold in there, instead of an additonal X.
The Gold's dial, combined with 1 less agility and only 2 attack makes it undesirable to me.
Yeah but it can mount a turret.

I don't see the point of biggs in this list. They are all x-wings with the same offense, so I don't think he adds much. Granted, he protects garven, who otherwise is likely to die first, but I don't think his ability is hugely important here to require special protection.
I would prefer to drop biggs to another rookie in order to put R2D2 on luke because survival in the endgame strikes me as more important.

But in this list, it isn't being used as a turret mount. It's existance is only there to allow the other three to be in the same list.
I love 4X lists, my favorite is Wedge w/ Swarm, Biggs, Red, and Rookie

I prefer a A-Wing over a Y-Wing without a turret (same attack with much better maneuvrability) so I would go with a prototype pilot instead.
If the goal is really to have 4 X-Wing, I would go with blade_mercurial suggestion of switching Biggs for a Rookie.
Y-wing is a great ship. Ion cannon turret brings a lot of pain to your opponent.
1) ion token
2)360 degrees arc
In addition, Y-wing has tons of hitpoints (5) and 3 shields.
And finally it's cost is low.
Oh, and it can carry two torpedoes.
Recently I played 60pts game with my friend.
I flew
Luke +R2-D2+torpedo
Gold squadron+ion turret+ astromech that makes all 2 turns green (just to spend the last point)
He did
Tempest w cluster
Dark curse and another tie
I won without loosing a single ship
Edited by danikstarikI personally am a fan of:
Luke+Determination
Garven+R2
X-Rookie
Gold+Ion
Yeah but it can mount a turret.
But without the turret, it's crap.
As for the original list, I'm no fan of 3 X's
Yeah but it can mount a turret.
True, sadly we are playing at the standard 100pts so I cannot take one.

The reason for Biggs is to protect Luke, Luke in the endgame is just nasty. I do see the point of swapping him for more upgrades on Luke.

Mine as well but I am trying to move away from Wedge and start using Luke more. That being said, I might end up going back to Wedge as his coolness factor is so much greater than Luke's..

A Prototype, of course, I will try one out, thanks!
But with an A wing, it's no longer a wave 1 list.
Trufact, but the initial list was.
Wave 1 is not a requirement.

I actually really like Luke/Garven as a combo (far better than I like Wedge/Biggs, actually). Garven is often an early target, which encourages your opponent to leave Luke for last.
With that said, I like blade_mercurial's tweak of demoting Biggs to a Rookie and giving Luke R2-D2--or, for the same cost, giving him Push the Limit + R2 Astromech.
If we're considering downgrades, I'd demote Garven to a Rookie to get R2-D2 and Draw Their Fire on Luke.
