Yea, K4 and Systems Officer are really strong because you can bump ships, hit asteroids, be carrying 12 stress tokens, be ionized and covered in faceup damage cards, and it will still proc. You can die from an asteroid and still grant the lock, as the ability procs after executing the maneuver (while asteroid damage happens after skipping the perform action step).

There's a reason Jumpmasters love K4, and Systems Officer is quite useful on Empire teams too.
