Let's Talk about X: Star Viper

By bubblepopmei, in X-Wing

I'm a fan of Star Wars but I like Sci-Fi so I like the universe but haven't read as much as everyone else. I never really liked the Star Viper until it became a release for this game. Not even sure why; it looked different and out of place. But it's a big galaxy and it makes sense that there is a lot out there. Maybe it's my completist I guess?

For the rebels and empire I like to have enough for a 400 point squad for either side. But for S&V I'll most likely end up getting two of each. Enough for flavor, cards and a 100 points of a mixed squad. Playable? Yes. Fun? Probably. Tournament worthy, most likely not. I'll even get two IG-88 and I only have one each of the other large ships.

I love the Virago and Xizor, but I love Guri even more, so it saddens me a bit that they included Guri as a pilot for a Star Viper. She already has her own ship, and I was hoping to see her Stinger soon. Now the likelihood of that has dropped tremendously. I wish they would have just included her as a Crew instead of the generic Bodyguard since they used her image for it anyway. It just doesn't feel right having Guri fly a Star Viper.
