Third Jumpmaster hasn't arrived, so I was playing around with ideas for two + something else. Gave this list to my girlfriend to play yesterday and she promptly smashed me with it 100-16 against a Hera/Biggs/Sabine list I was toying with. Trying to find something that might work against the triple Scouts, but all I can think of is switching the Agromechs for Overclocked so there's a focus for defense too - but then you lose the modification of the target lock in attack. Zuckuss is a lot of fun though, and 5 dice at range 1 with a target lock and Juke is just brutal.

Zuckuss

[Juke, Fire-Control System, Mist Hunter, Tractor beam] (33)

Contracted Scout x2

[Plasma Torpedoes, Extra Munitions, R4 Agromech, Deadeye, Guidance Chips] (33)

Total 99

And you'd only get your defense focus if you attack first.

With Overclocked? I'm not following. (Though it is rather early and I've not woken up properly yet).

I won a Store Championship with this:

Contracted Scout

Deadeye, Proton Torp, EM, Chips, Agro, Bobba

Contracted Scout

Deadeye, Proton Torp, EM, Chips, Agro

4-Lom

FCS, Zuckuss, Mist Title, TB

3-1 Swiss, one loss was to a triple UBoat list that ended with 2 hull Uboat v. 1 hull Uboat.

After cut to top 8 had to go through (2) triple Uboats to win. Helped having more than just one trick after alpha strike.

It depends what you're up to. With Overclocked you get very limited modification to your Plasma Torps.

Nicely done. I definitely think the third ship in the list needs to be different to the other two, in order to give you better odds of winning the mirror match. It might still be a third Jumpmaster, but built as a blocker rather than a munitions boat. Mist Hunter seems to be an excellent choice too.

Yes, I mentioned that in the original post. You can still have focus for defense regardless of order of shooting, but you might end up with more than one stress as a result which is obviously not ideal.
