Anyone think this may have some merit? Manaroo is the Bumpmaster and can pass on those tokens to Talonbane or the Scout if needed. I don't fly Scum much and I don't really want to fly 3 Jumpmaster list either. Any thoughts?

Do yourself a favor and Mindlink the **** out of Manaroo and Talonbane. Tone down the Scout if you must. This is what you should aim for:
Talonbane Cobra (28):
Total: 33 pts
Manaroo (27):
Total: 32 pts
Basic premise: Mana moves green, acquires target lock. Focus as action. Talon rushes in, boosts to be at R1. Mana serves both focus and TL to Talon, gets a focus back from Mindlink. Rinse and repeat. K4/Unhinged is essential to Mana as it frees her dial and unlocks her full supporting potential.
K Genesis tried that... One of those games where it took 4 turns on range 1, for Talonbane to kill a tie fighter because I only rolled 1 crit on 20 die... Ohh dice you so funny ![]()
I feel you, bro. My dice are that kind of bad too.
The fact that Talon survived 4 turns should speak by itself, though.
Nobody was shooting at him, He was tailing those Ties beautifully, focus/target lock just did not help with so many blanks ![]()

I like this build K Genesis, I would only add Feedback to Manaroo. That would still leave you the 33 points needed to load out the Scout.

Excellent suggestion! I'm going to try this out, I haven't played Scum much lately but I want to try something that's not 3 Scouts.
How do you deploy mindlinked Talonbane and Manaroo? I've only played it once. My deployment was my mistake.
In the right corner (if Mana faces vertically) or left corner (if Mana faces horizontally), Mana closer to the center. Slow roll T1 to grasp your opponent's flight plan, break away T2, engage T3. Make it as hard as possible to track down Talon before it's too late (i.e. your opponent has committed to a flight plan that doesn't target Talon).
