To start with I am dialing a "0" stop on entertaining any conversation about wording, RAW vs RAI, and FAQ clarifications on U-Wing interactions with their Title. Let that be known.
This list gets set up like a fortress in one corner of the board, so it is best to plan ahead and R2 corner a large asteroid in the corner you want to hide in and then R1 the next two largest obstructions you can get your hands on off that asteroid.
Set up: Biggs & Ten must be set up at perfect 45 degree angles pointed out of one corner of the board edge, as far back as you can fit them. The BSP must be placed so a hard 2 maneuver will cause it to crash squarely into these two ships. Now you must do this in reverse order, of course, so practice at home so you know how you must set up. Round 1 assign a hard 2 to the BSP (and check to make sure your title is on "Pivot Wing (Landing)") and 1 forwards to Biggs and Ten. Round 2 assign a "0" stop to the BSP, when you reveal this maneuver rotate your base 180 degrees, and then execute the revealed maneuver. Until Biggs dies the U-Wing continually reveals and executes "0" stop maneuvers thanks to Hera's crew ability to perform red maneuvers even while stressed (and thus ignore the rules pertaining to red maneuvers and stress). Continue to dial in 1 forwards with Biggs and Ten, when enemy ships are in range use Advanced Sensors on Ten to perform the Jyn Erso action and target Biggs for extra protection.
Known weaknesses: Ion based weapons that target the U-Wing, any TL fired missile or torpedo that ignores Biggs Darklighter's pilot ability, and Kylo Ren's condition card (Stunned Pilot on Biggs...). You may be shamed/disowned by friends and family.
Know strengths: You don't have to make this list a fortress for it to be potent, you can fly it around normally and set up a temporary fortress anywhere on the battlefield. This can really mess with aces if you set yourself up in the middle of obstructions. This list has surprised both myself and friends in regards to the lists it has defeated...
