What do you think about:

Guri -40 pts

Predator

Autothrusters

Virago

Sensor Jammer

Xizor -36pts

Predator

Autothrusters

Palob -24pts

Gonk

Autoblaster turret

I love star vipers. My absolute favourite scum ship. Unfortunately, Fang Fighters are just better. Hopefully the Viper will receive a 'fix' in a new expansion that makes it worthwhile again (because right now, the only reason NOT to take a fang fighter in its place is if you don't actually own one...)

Oh and one other thing: NEVER take an autoblaster turret on a ship that has no ability to re-position. You will never get to shoot anything with it unless your opponent is either a) dumb and foolishly flies into range 1 of it or b) flying a ship that doesn't really care about 1 or 2 unavoidable damage (such as a ghost or decimator).

If you are still keen on running 2 vipers w/ palob, you could try this:

Guri w/ predator, autothrusters, virago, jammer & cloaking device = 42

Palob w/ predator, autoblaster turret, intel agent, slicer tools & engine = 31

Enforcer w/ autothrusters = 27

100

Enforcer is your blocker (if you need it), Guri does work and Palob is a nuisance until he bites it (clever use of engine can keep him alive longer than expected).

Or:

Guri w/ predator, autothrusters, virago & jammer = 40

Palob w/ predator, twin laser turret, intel agent, slicer tools & vectored thrusters = 33

Enforcer w/ autothrusters = 27

100

I like playing with that build you have for Guri.

I'm guessing that your plan in is to keep Xizor close to Palob, have Palob take hits for Xizor and then use Gonk to heal them up? I think what you are going to find is that no one bothers firing at Xizor because it is easier to get good shots on Palob and they don't need to worry about splitting their damage up.

At PS7 and in a list where his pilot ability isn't going to come into play, I don't see Xizor helping you out much.

Palob has a low enough PS and poor enough mobility that anything he gets a shot at won't care that he's got an Autoblaster. What he'll be good for is helping you predict where the enemy aces aren't likely to end up.

I think something like this will play similar to the list that you posted. Palob is still likely the biggest target but he should do some damage before going down and Fenn is a better closer than Xizor with Predator and Autothrusters.

I know that Palob with autoblaster don't do much damage, but he has role similar to Biggs. Easy target with little regeneration. When enemy will attack him then Guri ang Xizor will live longer

Current meta in my city is full of ARC and Defenders (Vessery and Ryad) so PS7 is good enough.

If you want AB on Palob, you NEED cloaking device. Is the only build with AB that can works.

+Stigium is better

How about:

Palob - Mindlink - Blaster Turret - Dengar Crew - Cloaking Device

Guri - Mindlink - Autothrusters

Xizor - Mindlink - Autothrusters - Title - FCS

100 points

Reasons:
All ships have great action economy and via various methods. Everyone has focus and target lock almost all the time.

Palob can focus and hand one out to everyone else. If not, Guri will, failing that, Xizor will. Beginning of the combat phase, if NO one focused, Palob can steal one, providing one to everyone. If Palob cannot steal one, then Guri may get one if in range 1, again, providing one to everyone.

If Palob focussed first, then Guri can either double or triple focus token that round (mindlink + action + ability), if not, she can either boost or target lock.

Xizor is just there because you wanted a second Starviper, his ability is useless in this list.

Set up:

Set up in a corner and make sure Palob is furthest forward and SHOULD be the first or only viable option for your opponent to shoot at. Four to five agility dice and two focus tokens is deceptively hard to shoot through.

After that, get stuck in. Palob decloak into the thick of things and the rest go for range 1. Enjoy your dice.

I do love autothrusters/sensor jammer on Guri. I've found it to be a potent combination though twin laser turrets falling out of favour and rear firing arcs this wave may diminish that some. Still the Star Vipers are one of my favourite ships.
