Hi, I've got a tournament this Sunday, I'm looking for some feedback on my list. So far I've only lost one game using the below, and I've found it to be very survivable while still packing a fair punch. I'm not 100% sold on the flechette cannon, it's worked great a couple of times but the 4 points may be better elsewhere.
Prince Xizor (vet instincts, autothrusters, Virago, FCS)
Guri (predator, autothrusters)
Serissu (vet instincts, stealth device, heavy scyk, flechette Cannon)
Total: 100pts
Personally I wouldn't run both Xizor & Guri together, since you really don't want to be using Xizor's ability...
If you you've had success as is though, then fair enough. I would be inclined to drop one of the star vipers, but I haven't had enough experience with scum to suggest a good replacement.
Perhaps Palob with opportunist, blaster turret, K4 droid & moldy crow title? 34 points that adds real punch and at the same time protects your ships by stealing focus tokens...
I've not heard of Guri and Xizor working well together, but if you have made it work, I say roll with it. I do agree that thinking about it means that Xizor's ability is almost never used. Then again, maybe you just want him as a high PS ship? I can see that.
At first I would think that maybe an Ion Cannon is better than a Flechette. Then again, you have been winning with it. Sometimes the stress is better than the Ion.
I'd like to hear how it does.
What was the reason for flechette over ion? What was the list yo lost to?
I think it looks solid to me. Just think of what naturally counters it and come up with a plan of attack.
Flechette over ion was partly down to points, but also to make sure they're just a nuisance but not too much of a threat as serrisu makes the others harder to kill. Xizor's there for his PS but his ability has saved him a couple of times, I'd rather have 2 damaged ships than one dead. I am going to try Palob instead of Xizor tonight with ion turret and ion on Serrisu. Last time I used him I wasn't too impressed but with 2 ion in the list hopefully will go better.

I really like this build for Palob: Opportunist, Blaster Turret, Moldy Crow title & K4 droid. Its 34 points (a tad expensive), but a 4 die turret against a target with no tokens (not to mention you have plenty of focus stacked up and a TL as long as you did a green move) is nasty.
