If you field a a YT-2400, expect it to usually take up half your fleet's points. Ideally you'll be flying it with Outrider and Heavy Laser Cannon. Mangler cannon is okay but not the best use of the ship's potential (a YT-1300 is arguably granting similar effectiveness for cheaper). That means your minimum price would be 42 (cheapest pilot) or 48 points (best pilot), and you probably want to equip a crew.

Dash Rendar has an amazing pilot ability and he's usually my recommendation, and he deserves an elite (even a cheap one) and maybe a few more upgrades. At that point half your fleet is that one ship (Dash tends to fly fat), so you're generally buiding the fleet around him.

That said, you could spend only 42 on a Fringer with HLC + Outrider and still have room for a Kashyyyk Defender with Wookiee Commandos, plus Shara Bey + BB-8 + Push The Limit, for example.
