Could it work? Target lock, Shoot the torps, K turn, cc, target lock, and shoot again. On the 2nd turn they will have to K turn and not get a action agaist my protons or not K turn and not get a shot on

At that point, you can do better for a torpedo/cybernetics carrier in the form of the kimogila, it has the same health of nine (one less shield to hull), though it is a downgrade in agility.

it is a medium base and as such will be easier to use in formation for an opening salvo, while also having saturation salvo for more damage (though that may be swapped with a regen astromech for survivability) and has reload capabilities.

You have a higher damage output for your two turns of shooting (one if you use saturation) and a higher initiative to use it with plus points to spare. Also the bullseye “dead to rights” increases damage further.

the scout isn’t really that great of a weapon platform in contrast.

I underatand this was most likely posted as a joke but I think the jumpmaster fills a different role to the torpboat it was in 1.0 and that this is a good chance to show how it works differently.

I think I mentioned the build on the day the points lists came out. I think it's kinda gotta be played on table. That new dial is a lot worse, and the feel of it will be big, as well as the difference due to being a mobile single arc ship. Loss of the old R4 Agromech is also huge; that gave a lot of free mods. I still think the Jump is a bit too pricey, but it might not be too bad. One of these things is going to be fairly hard to bring down fast, and has a much better chance to get two shots off than a lot of torpedo carriers.
