More "vodka wing" than "beer wing," eh? I like where you're going with this.

My only thought would be to leave Dalan at PS6 with your other 'Vipers. That kind of maneuver order flexibility can be extraordinarily useful. And given how the PS wars are seemingly back (even in casual), PS8 isn't really going to achieve much at the moment. Maybe give him Cool Hand? Up the ante on his maneuver shenanigans and give him Lightning Reflexes? I'll have to fool around with this, as you've got both of my favorite spaceframes going.

I designed a similar list recently, though I haven't flown it (I don't own a Scyk):

Guri (30)
Attanni Mindlink (1)
Fire-Control System (2)
Autothrusters (2)
StarViper Mk. II (-3)
Virago (1)

Thweek (28)
Autothrusters (2)
StarViper Mk. II (-3)

Black Sun Assassin (28)
Attanni Mindlink (1)
Autothrusters (2)
StarViper Mk. II (-3)

Sunny Bounder (14)
"Light Scyk" Interceptor (-2)

Total: 100

Obviously Virago/FCS can go on whichever StarViper you'd like; might be best on Thweek.

I'm really not convinced by Thweek yet, too unpredictable for me.

Glad I decided not to go Mindlink after the FAQ

Fair enough! I haven't flown him yet. In my list, he could always be another Black Sun Assassin for 28. The Mindlinks could also be replaced by Crack Shots.
