I bought a Quadjumper! Let the brainstorm come!

By Jiron, in X-Wing

So I bought a Quadjumper! I really like the look of the ship and I like those desperately-awful-dialed ship (HWK+Quadjumper). Now I am trying to find out how to play it. I have really enjoyed the "offensive harassment" build (Sarko Planc+Fearlessness+Primed Thrusters). Trying to find the new and funny use for this nice ship!

zuivo with vi (or mindlink) cad primed thrusters and bomblet generator.

He's no nym, but it's still 26 points of late moving arc dodge that'll have your opponent saying "stay the fudge away from me!" and "kill it, kill it with fire!" while the rest of your list does it's thing.

My standard build is:

Jakku Gunrunner or Unkar Plutt
Spacetug Tractor Array
probably Cloaking Device
probably Pattern Analyzer
probably Intel Agent

The latter three are somewhat optional, but very useful. You can also put Cikatro Vizago on there and exchange the Cloaking Device for a Scavenger Crane after cloaking, which makes sense when you also have a bomb on board.

A build I want to try some time (though it's relatively fragile for 31 points):

Constable Zuvio
Veteran Instincts
Cad Bane
Bomblet Generator
Pattern Analyzer
Cloaking Device
Spacetug Tractor Array

In all honesty I haven't found a build I enjoy more than a plain old 19 point Gunrunner with Spacetug and Pattern Analyser. In general I find that if my opponent isn't going for it from the off they definitely are after it gets to do it's thing.

It's a common misconception that the quadjumper dial is bad- it's really really not.

Give that thing a pattern analyser and it can really mess with your opponent's plans.

Give it a cloaking device too and the decloak adds a whole new dimension to where is can end up and where it can deliver a tractor token or a bomb.

My favourite configuration is:

Jakku Gunrunner,

Cikator Vizago, Cloaking Device (swapped out for Scavenger Crane), Pattern Analyser, Space tug tractor array, Cluster Mines.

Only 25pts and a real thorn that needs to be dealt with.

The best I have done was:

Constable Zuvio, 19

VI, 1

Cad Bane, 2

Bomblet Generator, 3

Patern Analyzer, 2

OOPS! Forgot STTA!, 2

This is the way to go for fun!

The usual Quadj I play is:

Jakku Gunrruner:

-Spacetug TA

-Intelligence agent.

(I also like the same configuration with Unkar Plutt pilot)

An unexpected ace:

Constable Zuvio

-Spacetug TA

-VI

-Cad Bane

-Bomblet

(I never thought about Pattern Analyzer!)

-Cloaking device.
