Hah, not sure how I missed Expertise. I see that fielded a lot.

My favorite use for the U-Wing is Bodhi, to support low-PS munitions ships like z-95s, x-wings, and k-wings (and the locks help with normal attacks too). As long as you have a buddy nearby, you can acquire locks on the turns where you're getting turned around or just out of range because of PS order.

Then I toss on an inspiring recruit and/or Kanan Jarrus (Crew) to help the team with stress management. Though typically that's a role I have Jan Ors providing.

As Dragoon pointed out, rebels need more crew that help nearby ships, like the empire's Systems Officer and Fleet Officer. The U-Wing would be amazing with Empire crew -- it's a better beast than the Lambda Shuttle, that's for sure. That said, it's decent for the price, reasonably manevuerable if a bit complicated, and good utility options. FCS gives a boost to an already decent attack power, and it's a reasonably durable boat. Maybe I should make more effort at including a pathfinder in a few fleets as a blocker+harasser.
