I mean.
Wtf.
Guri and a support ship? That's it?that's the best I got? I'm going back to bed.
Guri/manaroo... this is the dumb crap that occurs to me when I wake up too early
Let's see, I just ran this in a tourney:
StarViper: · Prince Xizor (31)
Veteran Instincts (1)
Stygium Particle Accelerator (2)
· Virago (1)
Fire Control System (2)
· Cloaking Device (2)
JumpMaster 5000: · Dengar (33)
Deadeye (1)
Proton Torpedoes (4)
Extra Munitions (2)
Guidance Chips (0)
Recon Specialist (3)
· Punishing One (12)
Glitterstim (2)
· R5-P8 (3)
-- TOTAL ------- 99/100p. --
As long as the pilot did a good job flying, which he regularly did not, and when the randomness of the game console against me, this worked pretty well. Whenever I did things that made me lose actions, this list fell pretty hard.
Cloaking device on Xizor was amazing.
I've been toying with dropping Dengar to Manaroo, and use her to feed Xizor the action economy be desperately needs. Without having ways to reroll dice makes it hard to finish off some stuff. FSC helped a lot. I'd suggest it on your build too. Guri, luckily has pretty good action economy with her ability. You couple that with FCS, that gives her the freedom to boost or barrel roll into range one, get the focus, and hopefully, have a target lock and a focus for your attack. Especially with PTL, that makes it even better.

This is still a Work in progress.
I feel like Guri is the closest we get to a Soontir ace, she is just hampered badly by her PS. With PTL, FCS, and her ability, it's fully possible for her to boost, barrel roll, have a TL, and a focus. Nothing like using your entire action bar each turn.
I liked IG-88C for a quasi Scum Ace. Push The Limit, boost, target lock, free evade token and then glitterstim for effectively a focus. Fire Control System to keep that target lock on. Autothrusters because why not?

Rau Fenn?
Not out yet. I definitely think the protectorate starfighter is going to provide us with a more interceptor type of feel.
I've got a similar mindlink list put together. I think I'm going to finally break it out.

Assuming the Fang has a remotely decent dial, Fennaroo is going to be a frankly ridiculous list, though my preference is still for Fenngar just because I prefer to play lists which are strong but which I find more fun than lists which are perfectly optimised with support ships that don't do much like palp/aces.
And yeah, SCUM INTERCEPTOR.
Finally.
