The title explicitly says minimum 0, so the title won't reduce its cost to -1.

Keep in mind that the Kihraxz and StarViper have waited a long time for this upgrade. As fun as they are, they were well behind the curve in terms of effectiveness for cost... even on release. People bought the StarViper primarily for Autothrusters. This caused them to be rarely seen, especially in the tournament scene (when was the last time you saw one in a serious tournament?). People only flew them very casually, like the Scyk before its recent boost(s).

The kihraxz in particular took a devastating kick to the balls when Fenn Rau showed up, winked at Talonbane, and said "Oh hey buddy!  Take a good look -- I'm everything you can't be AHAHAHAHAA!". (I'm fairly certain this is canon -- this is how Fenn Rau talks.  In the voice of Gilbert Gottfried.)

So this points reduction is unlikely to make them OP. With luck it'll probably put them right on curve again. It's very unlikely they'll become they new x7 TIE Defender (hated for being OP and used in almost every fleet); instead they're getting a welcome breath of life.
