Gonk and Experimental Interface

By SmartCookie, in X-Wing Rules Questions

Can I Gonk and the EI into another Gonk?

First I add the shield and then I regen with the second Action? They are two different Actions on the same card...

Yes, I will be stressed but is it possible?

Yes, you cannot do same action twice, not use same upgrade card twice. Rules are clear here.

Seems to me the two distinct actions on Gonk are no different than the distinct Focus, Evade and Target Lock actions on a pilot card.

I guess otherwise it'd be one Action: header with an or in it.

Scum regen at the cost of stress. Will scum always just be a little worse than imps or rebels. We just keep taking things from the other two factions and making them jenky. Cloaking and now regen.

Cloaking I agree - it should either have been single-use (one cloak, one decloak, discard) or permanent. Its current setup is really disappointing.

Regen on the other hand, this is the first time that regenning has just been an action - and you can easily slow-roll the start to get your GONK loaded up before you go in, and then just start taking actions to reload your shields.

It's not what I was hoping GONK would be, but I think it's good nonetheless.

True enough

As long as Gonk never gets errataed to only have a single shield token, I'm ok with his form of broken regen... it's actually pretty cool and very thematic. And can work just as well as the others... maybe better because you can still use it in the middle of the fight without having to use greens.

Judging from the 3 extra shield tokens in the photo spread for the expansion, banking multiple tokens was likely the intention.

Id like a weapon with a nested action to then PTL or EI into Gonk

What were you hoping for from a basic power droid? He's just a power generator with legs.

ACTION: Both players must say "GONK" as quickly as possible. The player who says it louder wins the game.

GONK

Tel with ptl, gonk, hull upgrade, and unhinged astro is going to be a pain in the rear end

Yes, but still only throwing 2 dice at range 2-3.

Well, and possibly a religious prophet and droid messiah.

Even if you dont. It leaves your opponent with a hard choice. Focus tel and hope the support isn't too brutal or leave him to charge gonk freely to be a nightmare at endgame.

Edit: the real question in my mind is ptl/ hull vs EI and another ept. Ei allows same turn recovery while ptl hull gives tel extra legs to regen on his second chance
