I`ve just started playing and need some help with a list.

I really like flying my 2 Y-Wings(i would fly 4 but can`t get hold of another 2).Both have Ion turret and was has R3-A2 astromech.

My other 2 ships have been 2 B-wings blue sqn pilots with no upgrades.

Should i fly in formation ?

Should i drop the B-Wings for other ships ?

I`m not looking to be super competitive just to have fun and use a list no one else does.

Thanks for any help.

I love using the Y as well, and often fly two.

I never did formation flying with them, as they allmost allways have Twin Laser Turrets.

Gold sq and TLT is one of the most cost effective things you can field.

You could get hold of a K wing, that gives you 2 TLT cards.

The K is a good bombing platform, and Y with Ion works well with that, bombing ships you know where are the next turn is even more fun.

The Ys are also good for supporting a YT-1300 or YT-2400, mostly with the TLT option and not so much the Ion.

Outside competitive play, dont forget that Ys have torpedo slots, Horton salm works well with torps, but you really should have Guidance chips. Maybe when playing for fun, its ok to proxy and not own the cards?

I like running scum Y wings. 2x Thugs with autoblaster turrets, unhinged astromechs, and vectored thrusters. It leaves enough points that you can take your preference for the rest of the list. Heavy laser cannon sycks or a large base ship.

I personnally run VI Boba

I have seen a list of 4 Ion-title y-wings do pretty well.
You could mix it up with something like this;

Blue Squadron Pilot (22)
Fire-Control System (2)
Intelligence Agent (1)
B-Wing/E2 (1)

Blue Squadron Pilot (22)
Fire-Control System (2)

Gold Squadron Pilot (18)
Ion Cannon Turret (5)
R3-A2 (2)
BTL-A4 Y-Wing (0)

Gold Squadron Pilot (18)
Ion Cannon Turret (5)
Targeting Astromech (2)
BTL-A4 Y-Wing (0)

Total: 100

You get a ton of offensive power and control (stress on a stress hog as well as ionizing any ship you want basically).
The targeting astromech can be whatever droid you want it to be, but I think it helps the Y-wings problems with K-turns and fast maneuvers.
Intelligence agent helps you decide your actions (on y-wings, can I TL or should I focus, on B-wings; Do I need to barrel roll), and puts pressure on your enemy.

Like this it NEEDS to be flown in formation.

Hope this can serve as a bit of inspiriation.

Cheers

If you have points to spare, don't forget Bomb Loadout. A bomb or two will discourage opponents from getting behind your BTL Y-wings.

Is there any advice for swapping the B-Wings out for X-Wings ?

Thanks for all the help guys.
