I have only ever heard bad things about R2-F2. But I tried him out on Biggs, using Lando to give an extra action so he had a focus, and Kyle with Jan crew to give either another focus, or an evade (with an evade of 3 I think getting the focus is usually better but if you want to be certain to get one evade then take the evade). It was great, Biggs survived until time was called.

But, I was facing a 5 ship build, so the extra evade die was better than a token. Against a 2 or 3 ship build I think the extra token is good.

We finished the game after time was called just to see. I had three ships, each with a hull remaining. My opponent had a full health Echo. I got two shields off of Echo but then died (and those shields were actually taken of by the HWK, the other ships just didn't have anything to help their offense enough, since protecting Biggs was so expensive. I got lucky and was able to spread the damage around to survive until time was called.

tl;dr If you want to use R2-F2 you need to do a lot to make it worth while, and that is usually too expensive to make it worth it. And then, it is probably only good against a build with 4+ ships.
