I posted my StarViper aces stuff in a thread a while back, here's the kihraxz ideas to go along with it in a 2 ship aces pack:

Someone please help me pick a name for the PS7 here. Can't come up with anything, so I had to steal something from GotG as a placeholder.

Anyway, Mr Face gets a bit of repositioning fun (a common complaint for the x-wing and kihraxz), and the ps4 gains some extra punch. Works every shot (potentially), but balanced out by not cancelling straight up evades or evade tokens, only eyeballs if they have a way to convert them.

Fix title:

With my starviper I included fixes to make it more defensive. For the Kihraxz, i decided to go with some extra punch instead of defense. This title will make you more accurate and giv eyou a higher average damage output, without increasing your actual max damage. If you roll 4 hits/crits and they roll 3 evades, you do the 1 damage. If you roll 4 and they roll 0 evades, you cancel a hit ad end up with 3 damage still. If you roll 3 hits and a blank and they roll 2 evades, you cancel the blank die and still do one damage.

A few custom upgrades to go with the aces pack:

Combat sensors gives you a free action, similar to FCS giving a free TL, but lets you get any action. A point more since it has more options, but also doesn't work if you're stressed, unlike FCS .

Moment of clarity is fairly basic, PS12 for one phase, to either move first or shoot first on a critical round. Could maybe be 1 point instead of 0?

Ryll is being used as an anti-stress drug here. Lets you remove s tress token one time. Really need to do a red this round but already stressed? Stressed and need to do a white move but also need an action? Going up against asajj and she has initiative? Not entirely sure on cost. Cheaper? More expensive? Adrenaline rush for comparison (turn a red into a white is a similar-ish effect) is only 1 point.

Edit: Replaced the Combat Sensors image

Edit #2: Found the names of some Black Sun commanders that were at the battle of tansarii point station with talonbane

Added a few upgrades

Cartel Ace has a nice ability, but I think it would be better on a non-scum pilot since scum is " All Too Easy " now.

Well, given that we're past imperial and rebel phases for CCL and doing scum now (and I want fixed kihraxz and starviper), it's a bit late to give it to any other faction

I'm very concerned with Combat Sensors because the Star Courier has made it in and the Scimitar definitely doesn't need Advanced Cloaking Device.

It also gives Whisper the option of running Combat Sensors and Stygium Particle Accelerator, and I'm not sure that's any scarier than FCS + ACD but it's worth keeping in mind.

Seems like a great but not overpowered upgrade for Brobots, also probably really good with double shot Ghosts.

I love Ryll. It's such an obvious and thematic card that I really don't understand why it doesn't exist yet. I think I'd go for 1 point, though - it's more flexible than Adrenaline Rush, sure, but it's not like Adrenaline Rush is tearing up the meta. There are too many good illicit upgrades for it to be worth it at 2 points, I think.

I like this a lot.

The first part could even make a cool EPT like "Sharpshooter" or something or an upgrade like "linked or synchronized fire" or something.

Love it overall.

Math of adding and deleting dice and results on that title will challenge some people, but I really love that title. Make them hit without making them hit too hard. It's sort of like what they were trying to do with tlt.

I think 2 points is a bit steep to remove 1 stress token.

Being able to use it (Ryll) at the beginning of Activation or Combat does make it pretty flexible. What about making it dual sided instead of discard. Instead of discarding it, flip it over. The flip side could be something like "Withdrawal" and you can assign your ship a stress token to flip it back over (or use an action).

This is a totally valid point, and something I didn't think about when I decided to add the card to the expansion (it's one I designed for another expansion, but could also fit with the viper). Any suggestions on a way to fix it to be usable vs just dropping it from the pack?

If you changed it to trigger at end of turn, instead of after attacking it's still very good with the Scimitar title, but doesn't let you VI Chanath Cha up to 9 and have a large-base Whisper.

Maybe. Not really "combat" sensors anymore at that point :P. The original idea was to be able to focus or evade before taknig return fire, or try to reposition out of arc, etc.

Could make it closer to Whisper's ability and FCS, call out a specific action that you can take rather than offering freedom. But that kills the flexibility that you want.

guess I could always just add "You cannot use this action to cloak". Or even "You may not perform cloak actions during the combat phase"

as a simple fix for the cloaking issue.

Still need a better name for Tazerface

Renamed the 2 pilots, found the names of a few black sun commanders from the battle of tansarii point station with talonbane cobra

Ryll is too expensive. Adrenaline rush is functionally very similar and is still not used very often at 1 point.

Meant to drop that to 1 point, just haven't gotten it updated, I'll go do that now.

Ryll could be fun on a ptl shadowcaster with jabba (please ffg, on a yt 1300!).

But how that upgrade card would work on Kihraxz? It is system upgrade..

I think one of the proposed fixes adds a system slot.

The kihraxz here will be packaged with the starviper for a 2-ship aces pack for the CCL, the combat sensors are actually for the starviper part. Just posted it here since this is the thread i was workin in at the time

Thanks for clarifying that!
