Blue Squad B-Wing + Thrust Corrector + Linked Battery = 25 points
Not saying it is meta changing, but could be fun!

Maybe mix in Linked Battery to help you push through damage on certain lists (Rey, Howward Aces, etc). You might be taking on too much stress to get modifications in, so linked battery could bail you out from lack of actions. Other than that, yeah it's almost like having C-3PO on all your B-Wings except it adds a stress to you.

Good catch! I totally meant to put on linked battery, but accidently selected flechette cannon lol!
Yeah, I agree it could be decent. 4 B-Wings w/Thrust Corrector and Linked would eat up most Ghost lists, too.
This is what I meant: https://geordanr.github.io/xwing/?f=Rebel Alliance&d=v4!s!44:267,247,-1,-1:-1:-1:;44:267,247,-1,-1:-1:-1:;44:267,247,-1,-1:-1:-1:;44:267,247,-1,-1:-1:-1:&sn=Unnamed Squadron&obs=
I'm not blown away by Thrust Corrector, but the sheer joy and firepower of 4 Bs might be worth it. They just...really couldn't turn around...
I think it's gotta be tried. On paper, I think it matches well against a 5 Rookie Pilot X-Wing Swarm. Your 8 HP with a guaranteed evade (odds are you roll at least one natural evade, and will be able to load fully with stress) has a reasonable chance to last through 5 shots, while one of their X-Wings is likely to die against 4 shots from focused Bs with Linked Batteries for rerolls. However, most matchups won't be against same-PS swarms. I think the math seems surprisingly good with them, but they've still got B-Wing dials.
