Epic casual play and Gonk modification

By Hexdot, in X-Wing

Simply an idea to have fun, no rules debate.

We play with Gonk very few times. Theory is good, but practice... When Gonk is aboard a Agi 1 ship, when she starts taking fire she blows really fast. You take onw shield from Gonk's reserve and...then die. Quite often.it is better to TL and hit hard once more before you die.

So I want to try Gonk on a Y 666 during casual epic play and let him.transfer 2 shields with one action, not only one. Perhaps +1 pt, because he is a cheap but not very efficient crewmate.

Perhaps this is a OP change, so I want your opinions.

SHEILD MODULATOR... dat is how you get GONK up to speed. Add a point or so to the cost but then add ALL shields to GONK at the start of the game. Roll a green meanie and on a Evade you get to use a shild from GONK.

That is how I do it... and it is fun. It is like getting a single evade dice in EPIC, not a huge OP but super fun. If you did not get to use the GONK shield because of the dice roll you can opt to burn GONK out and use one shield and then build them back up with actions.

Not epic, but I've found some fun with Gonk on Palob. Store shields early, then even when you use your actions to give shields back, you can most likely steal the token you were going to take anyway.

Sir, thanks A LOT. Your idea is simple, elegant, and better than mine.
