Saturday I played against someone trying out Guns for Hire.

I flew a Trandoshan Slaver with Tactician, Gunner, and Bossk

A Concord Dawn Ace with Attanni Mindlink, Autothrusters, and Concord Dawn Protector

And Guri with Attanni Mindlink, StarViper Mk. II, Fire Control System, Autothrusters, and Virago.

My opponent flew two Black Sun Assassins with Expertise, StarViper Mk II. and Autothrusters

And Guri with Virago, StarViper Mk. II, Push the Limit, Advanced Sensors, Autothrusters, and maybe an illicit.

We wound up flying around each other for a while before just congregating in the center in a big mess. Here the double stressing Slaver was key though since it was shutting down the StarViper completely. Without actions and mods the Starvipers had trouble keeping arc and couldn't modify dice so went down reasonably quickly, although my Guri did go down.

Our next game I used Chopperin the Ghost with Hera, Cassian Andor, Ion Cannon Turret, Fire Control System, and Anti-Pursuit Lasers

With Nera Dantels with Deadeye, Collision Detector, Extra Munitions, Proton Torpedoes, and Guidance Chips

I came up against Emon Azzameen with Slave I, Long Range Scanners, Cad Bane, Bomblet Generator

A Black Sun Ace with Crack Shot, Harpoon Missiles, Vectored Thrusters, Hull Upgrade, Guidance Chips and an Illicit of some sort.

And Captain Jostero had the same upgrades but with Adaptability rather than Crack Shot.

My opponent and I agreed a deciding factor this match was that we had three large asteroids creating a lane, and he elected that Emon would go down this flank but then struggled with his hard turns and managing to turn in.

It meant that Emon wasn't in the battle against the Kihraxzs who managed to hammer both my ships with a Harpoon, but then struggled to keep arc while Chopper Ionized them.

Having killed the Ace and Ionized Jostero and seeing Emon about to finally turn in, I left to regroup and was lucky to be out of range of Emon a few times. Having reengagad, we then traded Nera and Jostero for each other, and it was a low health Ghost against Emon, but I managed to ionize Emon so he had to go towards the corner where I could block Emon unless he wanted to take the Asteroid and managed to deal the killing blow.
