4x Jumps have Trick Shot and a turret.

For a UUUU list, I wonder if FCS is the wrong direction. With the new Refit, you could run four with Engine Upgrade. Eh. Naw. I still don't think it'd really work. Auzitucks are still going to be better. Maybe 4x U-Wings with Sensor Jammer. Naw. There's too much anti-Sensor-Jammer tech in the metagame these days.

I might fly that in Epic, though. Sensor Jammer, Engine Upgrade, and Wookiee Commandos for 30 points? I can't see it in 100/6, but they wouldn't exactly be easy for focus-less epic ships to bring down.

2 x Blue Squadron + Refit + Enhanced Scopes + Tactical Jammer + Ion Projector (Blocking)

Honestly I wouldn't mind at least trying a 25 point "Bumpmaster Lite"

Refit with Ion Projector and APL, especially annoying with that 0 turn, that's one advantage it has on a JM5K

With Hera crew, you could just stopped in front of a ship, and in theory, destroy it. How annoying would that be? You keep getting ioned and unable to do anything about it, to run into a U-Wing over and over.

Don't forget the Courier Droid!

To be fair, you're quoting me from 2016. Courier Droid wasn't a thing.

just in case the bump mods (inevitably) fail

I really hope we don't forget cassian exists. He's exactly what a bump-ship without native-repositioning needs.

Oh, didn't realize this was a necro thread.

This is what I will toy with.

4xBSP - Renegade Refit, Collision Detector, Wookiee Commandos, Ion Projector, Tactical Jammer.

How messed up is this. Fly straight into someone, do a 180 and stay stopped until they are no longer ioned. There is a pretty good chance you will figure out their next move. If you don’t, there is another chance to Snap Shot them.

The Death Bump (34)

•Saw Gerrera (34) - U-Wing
Snap Shot (2), Enhanced Scopes (1), Renegade Refit (-2), Hera Syndulla (1), Cassian Andor (2), Pivot Wing (0), Anti-Pursuit Lasers (2), Ion Projector (2)

That was my exact tactic (and very similar build) to my old Cassian bump machine. Swap Cass crew for BoShek (and minus the new cards) and that's what I ran. When it worked it was glorious, when it didn't well.. you know U-wings..

Cassian and Stay on Target if you guess wrong?

On Saw? That'd be a nice combo. Cassian the opponents dial, Stay on Target to correct, take a stress and power up Saw's pilot ability.
