There are the three main factions, each with one or more sub-factions

• Rebel = The Resistance + The Rebel Alliance
• Imperial = The First Order + The Galactic Empire
• Scum = Scum and Villainy

So what that would mean is that if in the future there is a Resistance ship released with a crew slot for example, you would be able to field it with say, R2-D2, because it is limited to "Rebel only," which is the primary faction and thus would be allowed.

Using the faction limitations they could release a fix for the T-65 X-Wing by limiting it to "Rebel Alliance X-Wing Only" and eliminate it being allowed on the T-70 because it is part of The Resistance sub-faction instead.

Or they could just say "eff it" let us fire those force guided torpedoes

There's a significant change to the rule book regarding ship type exclusive cards that means anything "X-wing Only" will work on both the T-65 and the T-70.

okay so that leaves title or modification, or astromech, I doubt torpedoes will be the T-65 saving upgrade.

However if X-wing only encompasses both T-65s and T-70s why not just go with the T-70s? 3 more points to spare?

Probably there will be other cool tech upgrades. Standard X-Wings could get a title giving them access to tech upgrades with a 2 point reduction. Like the Advanced just with less discount.

Because the solution to the X-Wings dilemma can not and will not lie in the astromech slot. Or it would be solved by now because there are good astros already!

I wonder how many T-70s it takes to blow up the third Death Star?

Sorry, wrong punch line.
