Rose should be needed for Resistance Bomber

Make Rey & SLKR the pilots ;)

Or, they could make a new toon for it for even more money!

Gotta think in CG drone mode, duhhhh

In true fashion with the film, will it sacrifice the unit when it does its bombing run?

You mean Rose Tico's sister Paige Tico who I would love to come to the game as pilot of the Resistance Bomber.

Naw, lets use what we have instead of farming and gearing someone new. Won’t be the first time they didn’t follow established canon exactly. R5 Rose is a crazy requirement and this would soften the blow.

Last Jedi is one of my favorites, but Paige didn't have anywhere near enough screentime to be a full-blown character. Folks like Lobot or Chief Chirpa, etc, haven't, either, but there were EU canon appearances for them to flesh them out. If Paige had other appearances, then sure!

But, as it stands, just make the bomber "her" bomber and have it be uncrewed.

Aside from the leveling/gearing up potentially bad toons for a ship I still prefer having crew for ships unless it makes sense that they don't have crew.

Crewless ships aren't able to keep up with the power creep from now higher relic tiers. Either stats need to be changed for the ships to keep them relevant or another way to increase the ships power needs to be introduced so they can keep up with the higher relic levels.

Would give me a reason to put mods on her at least.

Named char as pilot is fine, but ppl do really want a new generic unnamed char that usually benched as a pilot?

I largely agree. But I don't mind crewless ships if they're meant to represent a very genric, filler ship. For instance, the Resistance had a whole lot of X-Wings at its disposal, but we're limited to two in the game--Poe's and Pilot's. Give us a generic, crewless "X-Wing" for every capital ship so we can fill up undersized fleets. Keep Resistance Pilot and her specific X-Wing, maybe rename her Resistance Ace or something to represent that she's unique from the generic ship.

It'd also be nice if this generic ship could be duplicated so that, in the case of Raddus for example, you could use it 4 times and field a full fleet of Resistance ships. I don't know if that's supported by the code as is or would require a major overhaul to implement, so maybe it's impossible, but it would be nice.

I do, yes. I think this game needs more generic characters, personally. And more characters with ability sets that don't read like a Lord of the Rings short story.
