can T-65's and T-70's use salvaged astromech upgrade cards

nope

Salvage and standard Astros are not compatable in the standard game because they have different upgrade icons.

Officially, no.
In any form of standard play, no.

If you and your buddies want to just play around and see what shenanigans you can get up to just playing for giggles, sure go nuts. But there may be some broken combos that show up as a result.

The only way Rebels get the salvaged trash mechs is using the Havoc title on Nym, and then only the unique ones. Scummies still can’t use the real astromechs...which is just fine since the Salvaged dudes are tons better except for the movie hero droids.

ooh could you imagine a t 70 with an unhinged?

green talon rolls anyone?

If we're breaking the rules for funny combos:

BB-8 on a Jumpmaster. Free pre-move large-base barrel rolls.

R2-D2 on Dengar or Tel. Sure, Gonk exists for scum regen, but there's significantly higher lost opportunity cost.

Why not both? One is a droid, the other a crew member. That's a potential of 2 shields per round

Because K4 Security Droid or crew-Dengar would be too strong to swap out for Gonk.

Nobody puts GONK in the corner. Nobody.

EI+GONK=5 pts of Double GONKing fun the whole game! Woo hoo! Two actions for one shield regen, what a bargain!

Don't get me wrong. Gonk is pretty cool. I have a fascination with Gonk/EI/Wired. K4 just better, tho.
