R4-B11 doesn't require you to wait for your opponent to stress themselves. You lock the ship, and if you don't need the lock, it's still a red token to spend to use it. Edit to add: R4-B11's change is a huge improvement over the 1st ed version that it only occurred to me with the new version not only can you trigger it off of depletes, strains, stress, tractors, disarms, jams, ions, and your locks, you can also trigger it off of other people's locks on that target. I'm going to be testing out a for fun list with Assaj and Torani Kulda (with R4-B11) with two thread tracer z-95s. Torani will melt quickly, but before that he should be laying down some serious damage if you can line up the shots properly.

Teflon Belly Rub seems like a training wheels card. I can definitely see it's use on a bunch of Torpedo boats, but I don't see Kavil trading in Trick Shot for it. Kavil with Trick Shot, R4 Astromech, and Dorsal Turret is 51 points. Plenty cheap enough to drop in a Gunner du jour and still have a solid list. R4-B11 will have some surprising uses. Again, torpedo boats with R4-B11 and a Weapons System Officer are going to have a grand old time. Jinata Sec Officers with Dorsal Turret, Plasma Torps, WSO, and R4-B11 are 50 points and since Locks are red tokens, they can spend their lock to reroll their attack dice or remove it to reroll defense dice. Then, they get it right back for the next shot.

I love all of the inexpensive upgrades: I get tired of looking for a 1 point upgrade on lists where bid is irrelevant and ending up with Marksmanship.

I think R4-B11 carrier will work well alongside tractor beam M3-A's
Edit: Tierfon Belly Run with asteroids, any Y-wing (maybe generic) R3 Astro, with Ion Torps and Seismic Charges could be fun as long as they can get a lock somehow like a coordinating ship

I thought Techs on the Y's could be pretty interesting, but not worth losing both Illicits and Modifications.
