So, R5-X3 and Integrated Astromech look to be mutually exclusive; you can only use one or the other. If you have them, an R2 Astromech could help with maneuverability and a R5 Astromech would help with durability, depending on which route you want to go.

You generally want to use Biggs with ships that don't want to get shot, so his ability is redundant with your Z95s who are actually looking to be shot.

I would drop those Z95s for another X-wing. The added firepower will help once Biggs goes down and your entire formation can 4K together if needed.

Another Rookie Pilot is all you could fit unless you drop the R2 mechs on the Y-wings (which IMO is nice but not necessary) for Tarn Mison & R7.

Also if you have access to R3A2, sticking it on Biggs instead of R5-X3 or the Rookie will give you good mileage.

I echo other previous comments regarding Biggs and R5-X3.
