My fear for the Jumpmaster 5000 is...

By Kyle Voltti, in X-Wing

... that by this point anything we find out will feel like a disappointment, Even if it is good we've been waiting for it so long that any reaction would be "oh,,,,, is that all?"

is clickbait

we kinda already know everything about the ship thanks to the leaks of the last two named pilots

even as is, it makes a crazy torpedo boat with deadeye + r4 + chips

no, the hype is now centered on Dengar and Boba and GONK! crews; maybe the dial

Maybe the dial? Of course the dial! I can't fly it yet because no dial! I've got a list and everything....

You've got no one to blame but yourself for any feeling of disappointment.

not if ffg overcosts the generics like crazy

seems to be fine, going by the pattern established by the descending pilot skill <--> point cost

Holy crap I just realized dengar doesn't specify a primary weapon for his ability

Manaroo is 27 for PS4 and EPT. The Generic is PS3, and if the EPT icon in the spread image isn't a lie, I'd wager 26. That's actually lower than I expected, to be honest. I was betting the generic would be 28. 1 Point more than an Outer Rim Smuggler, but with higher Pilot Skill, EPT, Barrel Roll, and one less HP, 28 seemed appropriate.

Having said this, how often does one see an ORS on the table?

They don't.

They don't.

exactly

28 points would've been FFG overpricing the **** out of the Jumpy, because ORS is also greviously overpriced (note they also ignored it when making the K; same stat-line for -1 hull and smaller base for only 23 points and + 1PS)

the K and Jumpy share almost exact same statlines (+1 PS and +1 agi for large-base detriment), so it'd be ludicrous if the generic was too expensive

at 26 + 2 for r4 + 3 for plasmas + 2 for extras + 1 deadeye and + 0 for chips, we have a very decent 34 point asking price for a potent; 2-shot only torp boat

What can save it is

1) good dial. if it has the full 3-set like Deci or Dash, it can be painted black with yellow and a bat in the middle

2) low skill EPT generic. Oicunn with Intimidation and Ion projector is the BEAST set loose. if we see it happen, I bet it's a BLOCKER

it has an ept, we can see from the spoiler

and **** straight it'll be a blocker, it has b-roll and crew for int agent :D

My fear is that it has been delayed and that's why we haven't had the preview for the JM5K

Oh that and Im gonna like it too much that I will actually want to play a PWT

My fear is that it has been delayed and that's why we haven't had the preview for the JM5K

Probably just shooting for a simultaneous release in some god-forsaken colony south of Indonesia.

And now you have the right attitude! ^_^

What can be more fun than a ship that's equally murderous to TLT-s due to barrelroll PS3 AND aces due to low-skill EPT big ship blocks!

A pre-faq daredevil...ahem...sorry, still mad at FFG for that

As you keep saying, on thread after thread, regardless of whether it's related to the actual topic.

absolutely nothing :lol:

especially because torp murder-boats also scare aces with or without blocks, and you can fit two of them in a list with two feed-back Blacksun Soldiers ;)
