Just saw BTL is now farmable on light side battles, and am curious what people think as to it's worth as part of the negotiator squad. I have G12 Bossk and am a tad leery about diving in to farm BTL as Bossk already is a great tank. Thoughts?

Bossk doesn't do any good in LSGTB.

Ywing’s reinforcement ability at 5 stars grants all present allies retribution for 1 turn, which I think is significant because it’s not just scoundrels like with xanadu, and it’s counter attacks like come on. I’d get it if I weren’t working on hyena

I'm farming it now for that very reason.

In my opinion there is absolute no logical or economical reason, not to farm a pilotless ship at the moment. So easy to gear and cheap to get...

It certainly doesn't seem to be comparable to the Hyena Bomber. Hyena can tank like a champ at 4 stars, whereas the handful of Y-wings I've seen seem to fold like wet tissue paper.

Maybe it gets significantly better with more stars, though.
