Any time that you are taking an astromech but not a modification on an X-Wing, you should have this one there. That isn't an uncommon build type, as astromechs are very common, and modifications tend to be pricy but pretty good, so I would expect to see this quite a bit. Biggs with an integrated R4-D6? 1 point of upgrade to help prevent massive shooting runs, and keep Biggs alive for just one more turn. T-70 pilot with R2 astromech? Cheap, with good turns, and the ability to stay on the board longer. 1 point upgrade.

This modification is great. It's not an issue of being short on points, it's an issue of saving your points for other things. Unless you run a modification on every ship (which, unless you are flying interceptors, seems foolish to me), this is a must take for X-Wings.
