So the Y-Wing and the YT threads have me thinking about trying out a Black Sheepdog Squadron flight with 4 Y-Wings with ICTs.
4 Gold Squadron pilots with turrets leaves 8 points for more upgrades:
2 proton torpedoes for proper heal-nipping?
1 proton, 4 R5's?
R2D2, 3 R5's?
R2D2, R5D8, 1 R5?
Hmm…..
Why not go to 4 grey squadron pilots?
4 Gray Squadron also has its merits. Y-Wings seem naked without droids, but the pilot skill would be handy against larger opposing flights.

And against two Bounty Hunters. Besides, the art on the Gray Squadron Pilot cards is way better than Gold Squadron
Horton Salm w/ R5 & ion turret + 3 Gold Squadron Ywings w/ ion turrets
or
Dutch Vander w/ R5-D8 & ion turret + 3 Gold Squadron Ywings w/ ion turrets
Get either hero ability into your squad, plus giving them a target to aim for first, allowing you to lure them in where you want them.
Would 2 with sheild upgrades be worth a try on your list?
On Y-WIngs, R2D2 and R5D8 are much better than Shield Upgrades.
(For X-Wings, Luke with upped Shield and R2D2 is stunningly immortal…)
I like this build, not a lot of offensive firepower but will stay in a fight for a long time
