The Goon is a cheap, fast hovercraft with a close-range laser weapon. Useful for amphibious landings, and surrounding enemy units to take advantage of the flanking bonus.

Great for evading a defensive line if you can find a nearby beach behind enemy lines.

Thanks to its low cost, the Goon makes for a great unit to mass produce and overwhelm your opponents. It is commonly used as a swarm to raid bases and expansions while avoiding defenses. Watch out for light laser turrets!
