Could they make Moldy Crow cheaper for Rebels but not Scum? Or make it a Rebel-only upgrade?

As a player who plays both Scum and Rebels, here is my view on this. All rebel HWKs are able to "hide" behind other friendly ships. All abilities require "friendly ship/ship in arc". Where as the Scum HWKs have to be close to enemy ships. Therefore, targeted more and die quicker.

I am not sure if dropping points on one faction as opposed to the other. I dont think the title needs an adjustment, but maybe the pilots themselves.

Now, obviously, Timer Tokens are exactly Charge Tokens with better wording. I think I was ahead of my time. ;)

And it's pretty close to what you want. What keeps it Fair and Balanced is that the B6 is gonna face a heck of a lot of enemy fire, so it will either need to be vigorously guarded, safely out of the fray (and therefore doing nothing), or a one-hit wonder.

I still think the right way to do a superlaser like that is something crazy hard to set up (bullseye, R2-3 only, lock required, you only get it one out of three turns and you can't save it, you have to spend your lock and take 3 ions afterward, etc) but hitting incredibly hard (5-6 dice, turn all hits to crits).

And the B-6 prototype I'd want to do a stupid expensive title that's straight-up like Delta 7B: "+1 agility. Reduce the difficulty of your basic maneuvers. Add gunner slot." Simple, but thematic.

I've said all this before though.

(Missed the Gunner slot. Oops.)

(Maybe 5 dice would be more fair. Or make it 4 charges and spend the lock.)

Well, I kinda think 6 dice of pure crits is pretty insane, but. . .

THIS is exactly where homebrew fails. Both Moser and I think a Superlaser is an awesome idea, but disagree by quite a bit on the execution of it.

Having an Official FFG Superlaser saves a lot of debate at the FLGS, ends any hard feelings about whose version gets used, and allows anyone to table it without debates.

Then, Moser and I can still go home and DIY what we would have done. Plus, have an official idea to base our ideas on.

TL/DR: Official content matters.

How about R2-D2 flying an X-Wing or Y-Wing, giving them a crew slot option? Same with chopper.
