Thanks.

Well when I first looked at scarred I thought it was a mechanic to simulate one of the fighters not making it back home (as in one of the 3 starfighters were destroyed). Problem is that for one the empty hit point is still there and two the large rouge ships like YT-1300 and Shuttle are only 1 ship.

So yeah the squadrons until recently were always an afterthought. (no droids, only aces have defense tokens, no difference between hyperspace and non hyperspace capable ships). So with campaign mechanics which was design to punish your losses in a way that wasn't too much comes into conflict often times.
