I could see him maybe working as a fun little irritant with something like Autoblasters / Greedo / Deadman’s Switch. Just park his fat fanny right in the enemy’s face and dare them to shoot, while the rest of your squad positions with impunity.
Nom Lumb, how do you rate the new jumpmaster5k pilot?
I like him. 41 with Feedback Array as a cheap and nasty blocker, or 44 with Feedback Array and Autoblasters. Tactical Scrambler might have some merit too. Cheap screen, again probably combined with Feedback Array and/or Autoblasters.
I find it kinda sad that we are all excited it can now equip an autoblaster, a cannon that under any normal circumstances is pretty much equivalent to having a 2 dice front attack, whose cost has gone up effectively deleting the points that the J5k went down with. Only it can't shoot r3.
But, trying not to sound negative. Would really like to have a j5k that i enjoy, and it at least is a viable upgrade.
In Extended you can have a title, TB and R5-TK to tractor your own ships

Heh. i1 self-tractor could actually be a fun trick.
Maybe with IG-88D crew, and an IG-88B?

Title, Crew and R5-TK don't go so well together.

Brainfart. Of course it doesn't.

Were all throwing every conceivable new idea against the wall and seeing what sticks. Some conflicting restrictions are bound to creep through.

Ohh, hey, I didn’t even think about the JM5K’s potential with IGs! That seems like it could have legs. Maybe something like this as a(n unoptimized) starting point:
IG-88B (63)
Ion Cannon (6)
IG-2000 (1)
IG-88A (67)
Ion Cannon (6)
IG-2000 (1)
Tel Trevura (44)
Ion Cannon (6)
IG-88D (3)
Total: 197

Might have struck upon something here. Cheapish support ship. So wish jump5k had coordinate.

Manaroo kinda has a Coordinate-type ability. IG-A kinda does, as well. Maybe not quite name-brand Coordinate, but maybe close enough to be useful.
I was gonna hold off on taking my Jump out until we got the new guy, but I might actually have to give this a spin...
