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

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.

It may get better as it's max protection increased due to the percentage based bonus on Astromech Advantage. But it still is less tankier than Sarge's ARC-170
