I think he fact you're supposed to take a lot of damage means this astro was probably designed for a Y-wing, as taking 3 hits is a common occurrence on 1-dice ship and not that bad when you have 8 hit points. But right now there are no rebel Y-wing pilot in the game who could combo very well with it. Some kind of pilot with an ability for stress management would work well with this droid.

For X-wings, you could use it on Jek Porkins and cancel all stress as they come, as in worst case scenario you take the damage anyway (X-Wing has only 2 shields that you'd lose, so Porkin's ability doesn't counteract the droid's ability), it just gives you a chance not to take some (62.5% per stress you try to negate). I'd be more inclined to play PtL+R5-D8 on him, but it could work as a cheaper Porkins.
