Consensus is that starvipers are super overcosted, with only the title being a semi viable way of running them. As a comparison, you could compare this to Red Squad Vet T70 X Wing. +1PS, same FP, -1AG, -1 Hull, +2 Shields, no Barrel Roll, slightly different movement dial, EPT, Astro Slot, Tech Slot, all for one point less. Plus people still don't use the T70.

I think the x wing devs are scared of FP3 AG3 ships (except the IG2000 but thats a large, and the Tie Interceptor with their powerful aces) which is why for the most part they have been really costly to run. The Tie Defender needed 2 cards to fix it (defender titles and the twin ion engine)! That is also why many people think the Viper along with the E Wing will get aid in a future set.
