I thought that the r2 unit was there only for navigational assistance. If so an internal droid brain would be better.

from the R2 to the R7, they can all do minor repairs and increase the strength of sheilds

Interesting. I recall from TPM, R2 droids doing something, probably repairs on the surface of the queens ship as it was flying through the blockade of Naboo.

They also do Nav jump working out a millionth time faster more than a human, so yes, they good for anything

"Artoo, that stabilizer's broken loose again, see if you can't lock it down!"

Indeed. They repaired the shield generator. However they were unable to fix the hyperdrive, hencr the journey to Tatoone.

1. Add two weapon hardpoints to either side of the fuselage. They can mount ion cannons or lasers.

2. Improve shields to B-Wing standards.

3. Add a missile rack like Slave-1. It will be able to launch the same multi megaton missiles like the Slave-1

Or you could dump that Rebel hunk-o-junk and get TIE Defender

Also, if the X-wing is disabled and stuck in space, the R2 unit can climb out of its socket, use it's little jets (see R2-D2 on Geonosis) to fly around the X-wing in zero-grav, and start repairing.

Or I could use a Rebel hunk-o-junk to shoot down said TIE Defender. See the title.
