Looking for suggestions of builds with Guns For Hire and a Star Viper. So What do you think.
Suggestions fro build with Star Viper and Guns For Hire
Here's my suggestion (with a few proxied cards, if that's good for you):
Thweek
SV Mk. II
Virago
FCS
AT
Cpt. Jostero
Vaksai
Expertise
Harpoons
Scavenger Crane
GC
VT
Kavil
PTL
Unhinged Astro
Ion Cannon Turret
VT
Contracted Scout (25)
Adaptability (0)
Courier Droid (0)
Thweek (28)
Advanced Proton Torpedoes (6)
Fire-Control System (2)
Glitterstim (2)
Autothrusters (2)
StarViper Mk. II (-3)
Virago (1)
Fenn Rau (28)
Push the Limit (3)
Autothrusters (2)
Concord Dawn Protector (1)
Total: 97
May have to proxy the odd card for this one, but it does at least use a Kihraxz and 2 Starvipers as requested:
Talonbane Cobra (28) - Vaksai (0), Veteran Instincts (0), Harpoon Missiles (3), Glitterstim (1), Vectored thrusters (1), Engine Upgrade (3), Autothrusters (1)
Dalan Oberos (Starviper) (30) - Staviper MkII (-3), Virago (1), Veteran Instincts (1), Autothrusters (2), Advanced Sensors (3), Contraband Cybernetics (1)
Thweek (28) - Starviper MkII (-3), Autothrusters (2)
Total = 99pts
They can all arc-dodge fairly reliably (especially if Thweek copies the best pilot skill from your opponent) and you get an alpha-strike option with Talonbane. Dalan can pull off some surprising manoeuvres thanks to Advanced Sensors and Contraband Cybernetics, many of which can't be done by any other ship on the game.
Edited by JudgeDeathHmmm. These seem like viable builds. You'll have to forgive me but I'm not familiar with some of the initials for cards like
FCS
AT
GC
VT
I know what PTL is, I use it a lot.
I believe they are:
FCS = Fire Control System
AT = Autothrusters
GC = Guidance Chips
VT = Vectored Thrusters
These are all quite common upgrades so you'll probably see those abbreviations a lot.
I use Autothrusters and Vectored thrusters a lot. Thank you for that clarification. ![]()

I did take this for a test drive the other day (slightly different version) and it worked great:
Push the Limit on any Starviper Mk. II with Autothrusters. It's so rediculously cool to boost/barrel roll with that bank boost.

I agree. The title makes this ship pure joy to fly
