I could also take out some upgrades and add Y-Wings. This would make RS much more useful.

Nice! I love the double Neb and Liberator idea. I like the second one more. I would tweak the squadron complement a bit - try to fit in gold squadron (double blue with Yavaris is awesome), and maybe another double die bomber, possibly by dropping Luke to a regular Xwing and upgrading the other Ywing to a scurrg bomber. That doesn't leave a generic Y wing as ruthless fodder I suppose, but ruthless would still help by killing stuff engaged with your generic X wings faster. I would try and upgrade the CR90 to a CR90A, as I think you run the risk of losing all your combat ships - the Nebs want to be sort of close, so having a CR90A that can plink at long range is good. Maybe drop Adar to fit that in. I like the concept!

I disagree with ever dropping Adar Talon in a list that includes Yavaris, just my opinion, although when I run both I tend to have Nym... so my opinion is biased.

He is definitely fantastic with Yavaris. It really depends whether you want the CR90B to be more of a lifeboat, or a supporting skirmisher (which is not without risk). My personal take is more towards the latter camp but both approaches can work.

I'm going for the lifeboat approach. I can't fly CR90s well.

I like this.

I will blatantly steal this idea and modify it.
