Gonk is the hero we all need in our lives

A Gonking to Remember.

Gonk is my favorite.
​And then a rageswarm took over my thread.

Gonk is a unique crew member. This means every appearance of a Gonk droid in the entire Star Wars saga has actually been the same droid.

Well, did he ever show up without being on Tattooine?

Jawa trawler -> Jabba's Torture room?

Speaking of that scene, who develops a droid of that type with the ability to feel pain?

Gonk has lived quite a storied life. After being tortured in Jabba's palace, he escaped and joined the Resistance.

Did he have a change of heart from his Scummy ways? Or is he infiltrating them for his own ends?

In all honesty, though, Pain is a useful thing to program, as it allows the being in question to detect damaging situations, and comes with a built-in avoidance system.

Must have... For next tournament... :)

Where can I get one

.. and now I can't read GONK without hearing the sound in my head... :lol:

So what about a Contracted Scout + Feedback Array + Gonk?

Takes 2 ion tokens to ionize a large ship, and with a bit of buffering allows you to regenerate the damage Feedback does.

Seems like 4 points to keep aces out of range 1 is probably worth it.

****, time to re-install Galactic battlegrounds!

Interesting quirk: It doesn't specify a limit to the number of tokens Gonk can pile up. Good thing that one of the few things we have even more tokens of than stress tokens is shield tokens, huh? You'll be outpiling Tycho's piles in no time! ;)

More seriously: It's pretty dang powerful; so long as you get the pre-battle actions, you've got persistent Evades that stack up and (much like R2) will shut down gunner, etc. Great on a Punishing One. Could be an interesting pick for a non-crow HWK. Not sure Mist Hunters or Slavers have the agility to justify multi-action-per-hitpoint... but there could certainly be combos in there, especially on the heavily flexible Slavers.

Still, this is the second 'avoid fighting as long as practical' upgrade in the game, with the Moldy Crow being the first. Do they risk slowing the game down? Probably not; you still need to kill your opponent in the end. But it'll be interesting to see how much stalling people will do.

SMATH DA BEEDLES!

Speaking of that scene, who develops a droid of that type with the ability to feel pain?

Well EV-9D9's (Jabba's torture droid) short story indicated that she had installed pain circuits in all her "acquisitions"... Legends or no, that's as good a reason as any. Though why it went from verbalizing "Gonk!" to "nononono" is curious...

Imperials are now the Sad Pandas. First they were excluded from the TLT club and now they get no regeneration as well.

Comms Relay is regeneration and FOs are the best ships for it.

That's a really nice crew card you got there. Would be a shame if something happened to it.
