Amendment:
Astromech Droids are able to carry 10 preprogrammed hyperdrive routes in
memory, and can recalculate for new jumps with some ease and a little time.
Rebel hyperdrive equiped fighters not using Astromechs or sophisticated
computers (ie, Falcon) can only make two preprogrammed hyperdrive routes.
This is to keep 'em from bouncing off stars or flying right through
supernovas, that would end your trip real quick. Y-wing has a useful role of
the ability to carry proton bombs, like TIE Bombers. B-wings cannot.
Therefore they aren't being replaced, just another role of assault gunship is
being filled. Rebels don't replace anything, just modify it to work better
(it's all they can afford). This information comes straight out of the Star
Wars Roleplaying Game and Sourcebook.
Thanks for the rant-space,
Aaron
