Who else owns a viper they've never actually played?

By DanDoulogos, in X-Wing

I own one I have played and have modified so the wings fold which was fun.

You can't post something like that without providing pics. I'm pretty sure the Geneva Convention explicitly forbids it.

Eh, I never bothered taking any because it's been done dozens of times before, but as some point I'll put some up in my P&M thread.

I won a tournament about 2 months ago, using mindlinked Guri, Manaroo and Palop. Guri only having mindling and thrusters is a great ship to fly.

Autothrusters and to have at least one in collection :)

I bought the autothruster expansion box.

You're telling me there is a ship in there as well?

Joking aside I actually started painting it simply because it was the only ship I'd never used and can't see me using so if the paint job was terrible it wouldn't matter!

Never finished the painting either......

I have 2 and have only ever flown them in test games against myself

I like to play two vipers. They're good ships, and pair well with JMs...

Prince Xizor (37) StarViper (31), Veteran Instincts (1), Virago (1), Autothrusters (2), Fire-Control System (2)

Guri (34) StarViper (30), Lone Wolf (2), Autothrusters (2)

Contracted Scout (29) JumpMaster 5000 (25), Intelligence Agent (1), Overclocked R4 (1), Feedback Array (2), Adaptability (0)

Two Starvipers play excellent escorts to a big ship! Haven't tried it with a JM yet. My go to is Kath.

The topic is asking who has a StarViper and has never flown it. So naturally, all the people who fly StarVipers want to chime in.

I flew a fun, gimmicky list with Stay On Target Boba Fett and Wingman Guri. It was fun. I got lucky and took out full-health Vader and a full-health TIE Interceptor in one round. Guri took out the squint and Boba took out Vader.

I bought mine for Guri ive used her in combination with Kath to great effect, I did repaint mine to match the colors of her outfit in the bodyguatd card art.

I really want to see that.

I've flown mine quite a few times. In the last game, Guri managed to one-**** two TIE/fos.

I've flown my Vipers more than I have any other ship with Autothrusters, anyway.

I'm assuming that was supposed to be one-shot. :lol:

Maybe during a casual game I will try Xizor out with 4 Z-95 with deadman switches just to see if I can get a mass chain reaction ...

You can't pawn dead man damage off of xizor

Seems a recipe for disaster

I used one in a tournament, and the dices god punished me with all his wrath

I've been flying Guri a lot recently in mindlink lists but it's been a while since my space butterflys were out before Attanni Mindlink came out...

Own 2, never even put them on the pegs. I just can't get past the fact it looks like that transport from Tron. I have never thought it was a good looking ship and for that reason, I'm out.

I don't want to talk about the ships I own but have yet to play.

If you want to try a starviper on the table, I've been running 4 bugzapper Z-95s with a heavily-upgraded Prince Xizor with some success on vassal. It's got tools to use against standard palp aces and dengaroo builds.

I also saw a cool list using two scouts with feedback arrays, and zuckuss and gonk crews on either one to back up a Xizor. Same idea there; use the zappers to kill small aces and push damage through on resilient ships like a dengaroo-dengar, while protecting a powerful late-game closer in Xizor.

Ive flown my two a bunch. The generics a handful of times. No one likes missing a shot against a generic, that 3 dice focus and AT can be a pain to get through.

One game i used a hwk with int agent and saw a kturn on an agressor. My generic then did his move and barrel rolled out of its arc. Lit it up at range 1. Good times. /leaves out all the bad times.

I Love the ship. Cant wait for them to get a defender treatment.

Own 3, have flown 2... #3 is currently being painted and is wingless waiting to be magnetised :rolleyes:

This is a list a flew a few times. Did I lose, yes. Did I have fun, yes.

I flew Guri once and she was one-shotted, by what I can't recall now. The FGDs all blanked so her focus was no use and one hit and two crits came through - both major explosions.... never since have I flown a Viper

Yup. Own two; only Autothrusters has had a workout.

I have 4 and I fly them every chance I get!

I like to fly StarVipers.

I own all the sips. I've never flown Agressor, YV-666, JumpMaster, TIE Punisher, Gozanti, K-Wing, T-70 X-Wing, GR-75 Transport and CR90 Corvette.

I did of course fly against or alongside all of the small and medium ships in the list. But the CR90 only was an obstacle in a couple of games, and I've never had the Transport or the Gozanti on the table.

I need to play more. Some of these are rather sad.

I know, I know. You're thinking, you just bought that expansion for the Autothrusters didn't you?

I figured you were like me and just buy at least one of everything.

I thinknibe played about 20 games this week...19 of them with either guri or xizor.

It really is close to the ship of my dreams.

Stop posting and go play :)

That's the meat of it actually. I don't really fly S&V all that often, and when I have, I haven't found a use for the Viper in any of the lists that would match my play style. At the time I purchased the viper, I wasn't buying it because I was anxious to give it a try - I was making sure it was in my collection, but I knew I would be using those autothrusters lickedy-split.
