Capsule: Corellian Engineering's JumpMaster-class long range scouts are small, one-person vessels designed for autonomous, long-range scouting and reconnaissance. Relatively fast and agile, JumpMaster have a flat, roughly crescent-shaped hull packed with the ship's powerful and sensitive sensor systems. An offset, cylindrical pod located to starboard of the ship's centerline houses the cockpit, the pilot's small and spartan quarters, and the ship's power generators and drive system. Lightly armored and carrying only a twin light laser cannon as armament, JumpMasters rely on their speed and sensors to avoid trouble.

Thanks to their powerful sensor suite, JumpMasters serve in many planetary militaries as picket ships and early warning patrol craft within star systems. Their primary use, however, is the galaxy's Civilian Astrogation Corps, the volunteer group of explorers, astrogators, and cartographers responsible for keeping hyperspace navigation charts up to date.

Hull 4D doesn't seem like lightly armored to me, and the speed (8) seems a little too high for a ship that big when fighters are hard pressed to match that.

How about Hull: 3D and Space: 6?

First off, very cool of you to write up those stats for everyone. Nice picture too, did you do that yourself?

Secondly, I agree with jmanski that the hull is too much. Even within the Edge of the Empire system the jumpmaster has less HT threshold, armor and shields than the YT-1300. Also, its speed is on par with the Y-wing.

How about a 3D hull and a space of 7?

eh 4D hull stock is fairly lightly armored for a transport, 3D is VERY Lightly Armored, and any thing 5D and higher is VERY armored and durable

That is a really cool image; good find!

I'd adjust the hyperdrive to make it a little quicker. Most of the more "modern" scouts I looked up (from more recent than the OR era) have a x2 or x1 hyperdrives.

Upon review I went ahead and changed the Hypedrive Multipliers to x1 and x10.

eh.. not every ship should by optimized off the factory floor, and like any vehicle, it should have some design flaws for chars to have to work out of it.
