Thinking too hard about Generic StarVipers

Mmm I disagree. And I still prefer the Viper, way more than the Protectorate.

That's fine. You can fly the Viper :). Realistically, I don't fly the protectorate generic either, so I won't be flying either :P. I'll stick to guri or xizor (or one of the new pilots) with the Virago title. And Fenn/Old T for the protectorate. All of their generics are overcosted anyway on both ships, even after this fix.

Black Sun Ace was actually the first ace in the game. Then TFA gave us 5 unique ones because they didn't have actual names to use. Then the protectorate went back to the generic version for the Concord Dawn Ace.

D"Ace" Bonearm is angry he is always forgotten! Poor Dace... :)

I tried the SSSSZ tonight, against AASharaNorra.

I won. By the way, the best thing about the list the rounded B-roll! It's amazing!! Open up a lot of possibilites, and it'a perfect to flank a ship (try to joust and then B-Roll AROUND the enemy ship). Next turn you can just hard 1-2 and you have done a K-turn.

It's difficult to write it, but try to do some moves into the table: it opens a lot of maneuvers.

I can't immagine about an ADV sensor with it...

I'm thinking about playing again the SSSSZ, or just 4 Vipers with Hull-Upgrades. At 5hull+1Shield will be amazing.

Or just 4PRS. Must try it again.

It's fantastic with advanced sensors.

If I was gonna run the generics I'd probably go with 4 with autothrusters. Not as helpful for a joust (though if you can set up the first engagement at range 3 it's great), but will be immensely helpful against turrets
