It's not quite so durable, as like howlrunner, serissu becomes Biggs in that situation, and you'll likely not get her ability to go off very much, if at all

Aye, though even if she's playing the Biggs to Xizors wedge, if that means everything else is getting through largely unharmed then that may be acceptable. Even if given a little minor hull/stealth investment. to ensure that she is eating more then her lions share of firepower.

As said though, it's one of those ideas I'm pondering over and whether the 8 points is otherwise used wisely. Another altnerative could be to make her another Z-95 and stick a little disruptive oridence somewhere. Or even buy a 5th Z-95 (71-91) and see whether Xizor can function off 9 points.

Put it on the table and give it a whirl

Personally only ever been happy With seri alongside palob Because you don't want to ahoot either when you're lacking focus

I #$%^ing hate Palob, and take him out first always.

you'll do it through two green dice with focus and a re-roll

with no focus of your own

**** I love Palob

Ohyeah you can DPS him to death, he is scumbiggs forsure, because his effect is so goddamn annoying. Vader with ATC and pred eats him alive I find, which is good.

let's be frank, though

He and Xizor perfectly encapsulate what it means to be in S&V

Seri's weird. Helping others, who does that?

The Scum pilots are quite reliably good, with a good mix in.

Palob with autoblasters or feedback is a personal nightmare of mine. (i would normally counter with Carnor, but with autoblasters or feedback... no).

In a larger game I fought Leatin, Serrissu, Palob and Guri, who liked to be close to each other.

Found them tough, though once Serrissu was down Leatin was far easier.

Vader accounted for killing all of them. Guri performed very well in that game, Palob and Leatin pissed me off. Serrissu had to die before Leatin could be killed. Guri with bodyguard had to die before her. Palob... Palob just always has to go first.

I admit when Vader gets all them critses in I enjoyed killing Palob and Leatin the most. It was truly a die bastard die moment.

Last night I came up with a Xizor list I had fun with. Rather than clutter up this thread with a build though I will just link the post I made in the Squad section:

Laetin, oh Laetin

wherefore art thou so green dice dependent

+1 for the correct use of "wherefore."

The answer is simple: Help others to help yourself. Seri is one of the smart guys. But scum after all.

Yeah she's a bothan chick. Or Dog? Or Cat? Or whatever bothans are supposed to be.

she's bothan?

no wonder she keeps dying!

Again a she? Furry I guess.

Aren't Bothans those life forms who tend to die in numbers for information?

indeed!

the information Seri keeps dying for is "Seri tends to die very easily"

Thats kind of information worth to die for.

Don't the Emperor said that he gladly gave the Death Star construction plans to the Bothans? This must have lead to an almost genocide.

Dead...that's what bothans are supposed to be...

Lemmings of the universe. The death is strong with this one.

Lol ... are there imperial players only making fun about non-human races?

Why not fly Xizor with Serissu and possibly Laetin, with some other Scyks as mooks to soak damage?

I think Xizor needs escorts with less agility and with cost efficient total hull/shields to help soak up the damage. Ships that enemies would both have an easier time hitting, and ships that could survive a point or two of damage (especially crits). Otherwise, you increase the odds of the enemy firing on Xizor, and reduce the advantage (to you) of them doing so. Also, I would rather not pass damage to Scyks; they are too fragile and expensive. The only ships I think are worth it are Z95 Headhunters and Y-Wings. If you take other ships with Xizor, make sure they serve another purpose (such as a Firespray-31 for the increase in offense, or a HWK-290 for the crazy ability).

I suspect it's not all that difficult when you use Shakespeare as a template. Now I'm sorely tempted to try my hand at some posts in blank verse...

In iambic pentameter I choose,

When I do write a post on forums these.

A sonnet of opinion to peruse,

I do take care to structure verse to please.

So in brainstorming some starviper goodness. I think this is something I will test out over the next week or so. I think its got some punch and staying power.

Prince Xizor —

StarViper 31

Predator 3 Autothrusters 2

Ship Total: 36

Guri — StarViper 30

Veteran Instincts 1 Fire-Control System 2 Autothrusters 2 Virago 1

Ship Total: 36

Binayre Pirate — Z-95 Headhunter 12

Feedback Array 2

Ship Total: 14

Binayre Pirate — Z-95 Headhunter 12

Feedback Array 2

Ship Total: 14

the Zs will fly with xizor, and guri as a flanker hopefully, and the Zs provide some damage support with feedback, although it might be worth dropping them for init and another upgrade? not sure gotta play it and find out.

My Thursday game night is sabotaged by family plans. No testing of my list before a Spring Tournament on Saturday. I'd like to add more constructive to the discussion.

I have wondered if Guri and Xizor would make a good list together, though. Just for the fluff.
