If you like Jake and more actions why not put Push The Limit on him to get a Barrel Roll/Evade, Focus and Boost every turn, providing you are willing to Green Move the turn after, and considering the dial of the A-Wing that is pretty open field.
I actually ran the Autoblaster last weekend at a local tourney to reasonable effect.
I doubt my victories were due to my genius by this was the list I ran with:
Ten Numb
Autoblaster
Advanced Sensors
E2
C3PO
Lt Blount + 2 Bandit Squaddies with missiles of varying types.
Yes my bwing was 46ish % of my list.
Ten Numb's ability combined with the Autoblaster meant that when I got the shot off there was very little my opponents could do, unless they took an evade action.
Advanced Sensors was great to get that barrel roll before the move in case that was needed as well as letting me get focus before I had to fly through asteroids to get a good angle.
