So it only gets a few seconds of screen time but i'm terribly interested in getting a quadjumper for my scum faction.

I imagine an incredibly fast agile ship with super strong tactor beams or perhaps the ability to latch onto an enemy ship and move it around. maybe it has no attack value and it needs a title to have an attack value or cannon slot.

According to the scale comparison in the back of the book it's a bit shorter than an x wing.

That thing that took a quick glance at a passing laser bolt and exploded harder than a Death Star hit by a Wedge?

I'd rather kiss a Wookiee.

Not to mention it wasn't powered, so any shields it might have were down.

Well it is 4 engines strapped together with a fuel tank and some crew space....

the ship that never flew and clearly has no armour, yeah let's not be too desperate eh.

Seems like it could be a fun addition to the Scum fleet.

it might have no weapons (yet) but it looks like it could be super fast and agile! just what Scum needs and they can easily modify some weaponry on there. Also I think it's one of the coolest looking ships out there

It's a cargo lifter tug. Wouldn't you rather fly a Sykc?

It's a tug boat.

imagine this. it can latch onto small ships and then fly off the board with them attached.

Looks like a podracer...

And the TIE was clearly at Range 1, while the defender rolled zero evade dice.

that can be arranged

Well...

I've long hoped for extra for X-Wing like freighters, shuttle, debris and asteroid bases. So many this might be a good addition.

BUT!!! I would hope that they point it for its situational use and not as a fighter.

Well, from that schematic we can see it has a cannon slot (tractor beam projector). It could be interesting as a ship with no primary weapon, and only whichever beam you choose to equip.

As for balance and to encourage support cannons, you could always overcost the ship by a few points, then add a title for -X points that limits the ship to only equipping cannons of 3 points or less (or maybe even explicitly stating tractor beams only). This way, if someone wants to field a modified ship mounting a real weapon, they have to pay for it. If you just want a weaponless support ship that uses its tractor beam for support, you can knock the price of the ship down to something reasonable.

It's called being cinematic.

You're going to send JBR7 round to my house?

Yeah it got blown up in one pass by TIE fighters, but you all seem to be forgetting that earlier an X-wing was crippled and then destroyed by small arms fire so...?

Big engines don't necessarily equal fast. As others have said, it is a tugboat. Agile, and powerful, but built for slow speeds. IMO it's a weaker version of the HWK.

EDIT: This doesn't necessarily mean it doesn't have a place in the game. If it is done, I see it as a high hull, slow moving ship, with modification opportunities. Unfortunately, I think it will overlap quite a bit with the HWK (not that that fact will stop FFG).

If you think about it, Snowspeeders are practically just tow-trucks that the Rebellion adapted for cold weather then strapped guns to.

That little section was TOTALLY a nod to X-Wing Alliance's first couple of missions..! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

It's hilarious, right?

They're technicals.

They are literally. Technicals.
