All I have to say is 4LOM + Gonk + EI = FUN

The only problem is, at 2 points it's not quite a "might a well use it" type upgrade. If it were 1 point then I could see it making it into nearly every list, because why not?

But at 2 points you actually are looking at giving something up for it, so you almost have to get a shield back to make it pay for itself.

I'm not saying it should be 1 point... I'm just saying at 2 points you have to actually think about putting it on a ship.

Thinking is good.

What's stopping me from Gonking first and Focusing second?

I cannot tell you how happy I am that 'to Gonk' is now a verb!

Wired + Gonk + Experimental Interface + R5-P8 seems like fun on Tel Truvia seems like a fun combo.

Might as well give him Wired.

Gonk me tender, Gonk me sweet.

Is gonking like twerking?

Seriously yv666 and Tel trevura are gonna abuse the hell out of this especially since scum have dice mods in spades without taking actions.

Actually... I think I would....

How's this look:

4LOM w/ Wired, Gronk, Sensor Jammer, Mist Hunter, Tractor Beam, EI

Thug w/ Ion Turret, BTL-A4, Unhinged Astromech

We like to...

GONK IT!

Having Unhinged Astromechs on the wingmen is a nice touch. You can dump 4LOMs stress off to one of them if there isn't an enemy in range.

Gonk, Gonk!

4-LOM w/ Gonk and PTL means you can get a shield back every turn and pass the stress off to someone at R1 every round.

I think just loading up on shields for Gonk early and then having the chance to dump them back later will be good.

Tel Trevura will like Gonk.

errata:

Once per turn, as a free action, you may put your hands at your sides while walking with stiff knees saying "Gonk.... Gonk..."

gonk is very well balanced regen that is difficult to abuse, which also sadly makes it difficult to find a home for

I'm thinking boba spray's action-independent re-rolls could benefit from it

You can slap it quite easily on a YV-666, especially since gunner + bossk don't give a flying **** about taking offensive actions (or even something as simple as K4)

the HWK is way too squishy and needs focus

the GR-75 may workish, but it doesn't really have the tech needed to become a powerhouse regenerator and I'd rather use it offensively. Could conceivably be a pain in the ass with PTL 4-lom?

4-lom (26)

PTL (3)

GONK! (2)

Fire control system (2)

[33]

34 with title

35 if you be jammin'; 36 with jammin' title

Jumpy itself doesn't really have the means to compensate for GONK! taking up its only crew and demanding an action. r4 won't work without focus and predator can only do so much work.

apart from the YV-666, we're not going to see any rebel-tier regenerator out of this card (For better or worse)

Palob would like Gonk. He can use Gonk to regen his shield and then steal a Focus or Evade from someone.

Or.....any HWK with Moldy Crow can store the Focus tokens early.

GOOOOOOONK!

That said, I don't think this will be that common a card, at least in more competitive lists. If you think about it, it's somewhat like a more limited R5-P9, in that it takes your action to regen one shield - but with the added restriction of needing two actions once your store runs out.

However, in most circumstances your action is more effective than regenerating a shield - for example a focus token effectively does the same as soon as it's used to turn one defensive focus to an evade.

When was the last time you saw R5-P9 on anyone other than Poe?

Not that long ago. It's not that it's bad for other pilots, but everyone is flying Poe and it's good on Poe.

GONK! is also 2 points and arguably more splashable (havn't seen any ship with 3 astromech slots )

Gonk is clearly a traitor to the empire given that he's now scum only

But Gonk is going to be fun.

That's your first action of the game sorted.

Wait do these stack? I can see this being your first 3-5 actions of the game, and then grab accordingly as needed.

If you're flying a Gonk ship, you go out of your way to slow ride and delay engaging as long as possible to build up a stack of shields.

Then you can say, lose all of the shields from PS 10 Scum Boba and have him 4 straight and boost away. On any further turns as he's running/getting back into the fight you start putting shields back on him. Bonus points if your opponent can't chase Boba because Proton Bombs.

If your opponent knows that you're going to just stall for gonk, he's going to try to rush you. Knowing that his first move is going to be a 5 straight should be helpful.

Mist Hunter+ Gonk. Zuckuss and Gonk, the galaxy's next celebrity couple.

4-Lom with Gonk, Experimental Interface and Wired would probably be better. Build up your stack as you roll into the fight, use EI to Evade and restore shields as needed, let the stress from EI power rerolls on attack and defense and then pass of the stress to a nearby sucker. If you need to use EI to take the store and restore actions in the same round.

That'll should be a tough to kill 1 agility ship. Offensive output shouldn't be too bad and it can also inflict stress on enemies.

For a few more points you could add in a FCS and Juke instead of wired. use FCS to get rerolls to modify dice, juke to force them to spend their focus or else take an extra hit.

As primarily Rebel Scum, I'm extremely jealous of the gonk.
