I have had success with Talon Ndru Xisor. The crux of the bad matchup problem is solved by 2 things; VI on Xisor, PS bid.

Not many squads can solve all of this list's tactics.

This list seems alot more interesting than most scum lists I play against locally. The only ship that I can think of right away that may give that list a little trouble would be VI whisper. I know phantoms don't see as much play anymore but with how nimble they still are two of your ships could have trouble finding her in arc. Xizor should help that scenario if you have initiative, but you'll have to be spot on with your predictions since you'd move first.

I like the list, and it gets even better with Guidance Chips. It's certainly a strong alpha strike, and then you have a few decent ships for brawling, though it looks rather fragile.

Do you end up pawning off damage from Xizor when you only have other aces to assign it to? Are you generally able to put both Homing Missiles into the same target and still get N'Dru's bonus?

Usually I can get everything to work with ranges. The real trick is knowing when you have to bank on Suhlak's pilot ability, and when you don't.
