I really enjoyed this episode, thanks guys. Like you I am really excited about the new Guns for Hire pack. I would love to have your thoughts on my take of a future list.

Xizor (31), Both titles (-2), Expertise (4), Autothrusters (2), FCS (2) = 38

Guri (30), Starviper mk2 (-3), Predator (3), Autothrusters (2) = 32

Contracted Scout (25), Draw their fire (1), Intel agent (1), Feedback array (2), Ion Projector (2) = 31

I feel a little dirty having a jumpmaster in there, but then the thought of using it as a meat shield is quite satisfying. The inclusion of Draw their fire is to make Xizor super tanky, or some support on Guri. Whoever the opponent chooses to shoot.

What do you think?

Weird idea, I think PTL might be really good on the new Starviper. Your green moves aren't many, but they really don't have to be, because your Barrel Roll gives you 90 degrees of arc flexibility and a lot of lateral movement.

Failing that, the FCS/Expertise combo seems like an easy winner. I would totally think about Advanced Proton Torpedoes on that build because you can basically use them action free. FCS gives you the TL. Expertise modifies your eyeballs, and the crazy barrel roll or Boost gets you in range 1. Salvage Crane and all of Xizor's mooks makes reloading those torpedo tubes with burning trash likely.

If you want cheap (not ATP), you could do A Score To Settle instead of Expertise. It's only agaisnt 1 ship, but it's free, and Xizor can pass the return crits off on a stooge.

I like it. How about this change?

Jump master the same

Xizor PTL, titles, Advanced Sensors, APT, Scavenger crane, AT (46)

Serissu, Adaptability, heavy title, Tractor Beam (23)

You know, you guys keep mispronouncing Khireaxxxzzffzz.

It's pronounced: "Kick-***".

Especially now.
