Hello X-Wing Community!

I am wondering about the Lando Falcon, which seems to be pretty strong at the moment.

Lando Calrissian (92)
Agile Gunner (10)
GNK “Gonk” Droid (10)
Nien Nunb (5)
Millennium Falcon (6)

Total: 123

Am I getting this right:

With Nien Nunb onboard, there are 9 different maneuvers available, granting Lando a free action every round?

While staying on blue maneuvers, Lando could reload one shield every round (performing both Gonk actions, one with the free action, the other one with the normal action)

And why do people NOT play this or complain about this?

Because regenning one shield a round and getting no dice mods is terrible.

Lando is strong, but probably a little too pricey - but not like this.

He won't always have to use the actions to regen, though. That gives him the freedom to focus and evade for the title, or focus and TL. At that price, he's also going to be a good candidate for Lone Wolf, as you're probably not going to have many wingmen for him.

Not sure who he'd run with, though. Luke and R2?

Lando can’t take Supernatural Reflexes, thus you can’t build Super Lando.

That's a 123 pt ship that shoots once a round...

I have tried this 'super' Lando list, wasn't that bad...

Modified YT-1300 Light Freighter - •Lando Calrissian - 121
•Lando Calrissian - General of the Alliance (92)
Perceptive Copilot (10)
•Nien Nunb (5)
•Bistan (14)

T-65 X-wing - •Luke Skywalker - 79
•Luke Skywalker - Red Five (62)
R5 Astromech (5)
Supernatural Reflexes (12)
Servomotor S-foils (Closed) (0)

Total: 200/200

Yah, but you'd be better off taking crews that get you mods. Or no crews. Lando with just Nien is pretty fierce. Move, lock, focus, attack with three fully modded dice every round.

Rip that gonk droid off and put bistan on. Lando already has enough actions to move his arc, and he needs to shoot more. Bistan, Nien, and maybe trick shot

I'm sure it's not good, but I also want to try and make Gonk work.

You're wasting your time. Whenever I ask him do something around the house, he just mutters "gonk" and shuffles off to the basement.

R2 crew is a much better option than gonk, but even then you're probably piling too many points on an overpriced ship. Just rely on its HP to hold you together and spend the points on killing things faster.

I have played against gonk in Whisper. That is a nightmare. Once his shields are down, he flies away, regens his shields while cloaked, and then comes bak at full health.

It gave me the idea of trying this monstrosity myself
