I've been playing a lot with Starvipers and the YV-666. It is a lot of fun, if not necessarily competitive. I would love some feedback on a variants of a list.

Basically split them up and decide where the opponent is going, trying to keep the Z in range of Xizor. The Hijinks available with Daredevil on bossk are pretty fun, and everyone seems to forget about that 1 hard boost. I think Zuckuss could give the YV some semblance of defense to stay in the fight a little longer.

Any feedback will be appreciated.

Heh. First I see a thread about Boba + Xizor and now Bossk + Xizor.

I actually think the Boba + Xizor is more viable, because with Bossk, everyone's gonna kill the big lizard first unless you bring him in well behind the others.

The damage potential from Bossk is nothing to sneeze at though. Trading Bossk for some high value opposition makes Xizor's job in the endgame easier. However, of all the Xizor builds, I find VI + FCS to be the least effective for endgame matchups. Despite PS 9, you just don't have the maneuverability to really deal with the really slippery opposition, and once his buds are gone, its too easy to kill Xizor as he has limited defensive potential. And if you lose the initiative bid, then PS 9 does you nothing against other ships moving after you anyway (of course, there's the hope that Bossk will 'eliminate' such problems, but perhaps not...)
