I wouldn't take this to a tournament myself; but i was pondering ways to get the most Gonks into a list and still have it somewhat usable.

Suggestions and alterations would be wonderful peeps; I wish to enter the land of gonk and drag all my friends at the LGS down with me.

And yes; They are terrible action economy and overcosted as ****. But Lets ignore that, and find out how to best use the Gonk. New meta arise.

I feel like Gonks would be overpriced at 8pts, let alone 10pts. Still, I like your Lok Revenant. What about this:

Lok Revenant (ion turret, Gonk, vet turret gunner, bomblet generator) 68pts

Lok Revenant (dorsal turret, Gonk, vet turret gunner, bomblet generator) 66pts

Lok Revenant (dorsal turret, Gonk, vet turret gunner, bomblet generator) 66pts

Total: 200pts

As you say, not great but usable and still fun. :)

Sorry, I got carried away in my other post and offered just a radical change to your list. If I were you I wouldn't use a G-1A for Gonk due to the amount of non-action moves on the dial, but keeping the same ships you could drop L3-37 down to the autopilot drone (it can still red coordinate a couple of times for you) and spend the savings on advanced sensors for the findsman and L3-37 crew for the freighter captain. Advance sensors is expensive too but it will keep you Gonking through intermittent red moves.
