So has anyone looked at X-wing Aces with Vertical Thrusters? How effective with T-70-s and some of the new equipment they just got with HotR?
X-wing Aces and VT's
T70s benefit less from VTs than some other ships. This is because they already have Boost for a repositioning move. Also VTs compete with ATs and IA, both of which are valuable for keeping the T70s alive.
IA is weaksauce but it's still better than VT.

An extra hull for a point and the ability to bin a crit you don't like the look of is weaksauce??
I am waiting for the Kihraxz fix. Hopefully they become 1 point cheaper or get a neat ability via a title. VT will be nice on a Kihraxz then.

And it is free (assuming you were taking an Astromech).

It's not free, it costs the extremely precious Modification slot. Losing Autothrusters, especially in the upcoming meta shifts, is going to be regrettable.

Not necessarily. R2 astro + integrated + sensor cluster = 1 point more than autothrusters and provides more durability overall. Autothrusters is not an 'auto-include' upgrade on the T-70 because with only 2 agility, its harder for thrusters to fully mitigate 3 attack shots (whether from turrets like TLT, PWT or just R3 shots with 3 attack guns---although that last is its best circumstance)
Of course, that has nothing to do with the original post, but its a good idea on the T-70 that no one is currently looking at
