Fairly new to X-wing and really like the look of the StarViper, though it seems pretty fragile. So this is my attempt at remedying that a little bit.

Prince Xizor

Autothrusters

Veteran Instincts

Torkil mux

Intelligence Agent

Ion Cannon Turret

Mandalorian Mercenary

Draw Their Fire

Engine upgrade

The main thing I'm really going for is keeping Xizor close to the Merc to draw two uncancelled results to keep him alove a bit longer. And have Mux target the biggest threat to drop PS so the whole team gets to unload before it fires back. I figured the merc would need the engine upgrade to help keep up with xizor a little better. Any thoughts? concerns, comments?

Xizor is practically immortal when paired with cheap, low agility ships simply because your opponent will never shoot him when they'd get much more damage just shooting your z-95s or y-wings

Xizor does not get along well with HWKs, Scyks, or other Vipers because their weird ass 1 shield builds leaves them very vulnerable to crits and their health per their costs is absolutely horrible, and V.I Xizor does not really need Mux's PS 0 ability.

Xizor is awesome but expensive, and needs help making his points back on the mangled bodies of his foes. Since he can't take V.I and predator, Virago FCS is your go to upgrade

Engine is not really necessary for firesprays unless you're rocking an upgraded character. 99.9% of the time you're going to be better off using your action for offense or defense instead of boosting , so those four points will be basically a wash (especially on a ship that can utilize the incredibly sexy K4 security droid to shave off the drawbacks of Expert Handling)
