The starviper didn't really need as much of a boost, though.

It's got a great dial, and boost and barrel roll. It' was too expensive for what it did (compare to an equivalent pilot skill Protectorate fighter with a Shield Upgrade) but it wasn't actually a bad ship.

Now, with a cost reduction, it's much more directly comparable. Compared to a Protectorate, you get a better slow dial but worse fast dial, swap K-turns and Talon Rolls for Segnors Loop, and pick up a shield token for a pretty reasonable 2 points.
