Personally i think the viper should have always had a system slot. The title instead should have given it an illicit plus something else (i dunno cannon maybe?). Double systems would be nice. The question is would it be too much?
Edited by 4fox100Starviper Fix: Two System Slots?
Honestly, I wouldn't mind if this card read "Starviper and E-Wing Only". I'm fine with Corran Horn getting this card since he's so weak in the current meta, but it'd probably be only 50% of the fix for generic E-Wings, since they're overcosted by 2 points more than Starvipers.
The other half of the E-Wing fix would probably have to be targeted to lower PS, generic ships specifically. Probably in the form of an astromech.
All that being said, I think it'd be a reasonable thing to do, since E-Wing and Starvipers are supposed to be relatively advanced ships, right?
I figure the A-Wing was made the first ship that could equip two EPTs and the Interceptor was made the first ship that could equip two Mods; wouldn't it be kinda fun if the Starviper could equip two System Upgrades?
That's nothing, the Y-wing was the first to have two torp slots, and the falcon was the first to have two crew! Fancy!
Title for Starviper should be:
Elite Vigo Pilot (title, 0 pts)
Can perform free evade action on executing a green manuever.
Autothrusters upgrade may deploy for free on this ship.
Probably not available on the lowest PS pilots.
So...either this or make the existing title non-unique. Or make a title like the virago but either/or and have a choice of system OR illicit.
What about copy the quadjumpers and get it some backward moves?
My preferred viper fix is a speed 1-2 version of the x7 title. Reduce the cost and free evade on slow maneuvers instead of fast ones
I have no idea how to fit this into a single upgrade but the Scum Vet Viper needs:
- PS4-5
- Access to Evade
- EPT
- Point Cost Reduction
- Sensors Slot
It would be nice to be able to field a few of them and build a list around Juke and Sensor Jammers. Unfortunately, adding upgrades bloats the hell out the ship. After all the above issues are addressed, there's the issue of fitting Autothrusters in there. This ship has so many issues that the Veteran expansion will probably only band-aid the fact is way overcosted for its naked effectiveness.
