Squadron Size
Well, the first thing I noticed is that per usual Disney doesn't know how many pilots are in a squadron. It is 12 total, not 5. I miss the Xwing Alliance and TIE Fighter games, they stayed consistent...

Five players seems to be the butter zone for squads in online multiplayer gaming.
No way ur gonna get 12 randoms to work together...5 maybe
Star Wars Squadrons Battle Royale Mode!
I'm thinking that the 5 ship squad size is a nod to the 3 DPS, 1 tank, 1 healer rpg style.
3 fighters for dps, one bomber to tank, and the support ship for, well, not really healing, but supporting the rest of the squad with the tractor beams and auto turrets.
