I guess that's true, there were no bombs when the Y-Wings came out so it can explain why there were some. I'm sure they had already plans for the TIE Bomber when the Y-Wing was also being designed, so I'm not sure it's totally forgivable.

Hard to argue about the Rebel Y-Wing hate, though. No elite talent for Horton is pretty inexcuseable. I mean... yeesh, we really need some more variety with the Y-Wing pilots, they have tons of options that already exist to make in to new pilots.

The trouble with turrets and astromechs for the Empire is that they still need to follow the canon of Star Wars ships: the Empire had cheap, short range fighters that usually didn't need astromechs because they didn't have hyperdrives, and didn't have more than 1 person so nobody to man the turret (Y-Wings are actually 2-seaters, so that's why they can use a turret, even though there's no crew space.  The 2nd seat is for the turret gunner/weapons officer.  The title is for a version of the Y-Wing that is a 1-seater). I feel like... if they introduce the missile boat ship from the TIE Fighter flight sim, it could have a turret, or a cannon upgrade for Shuttles that replaces it with a turret.
