BTW Bossk's ability is still excellent. You just have to have an uncanceled crit, even if that crit won't assign damage cards because it's going to the shields. Bossk with some ability to guarantee crits just chews through shields, and can grind a ship's hulls faster with pure damage. Direct Hit is only a 5th of the damage deck, while Bossk can deal the extra damage more reliably. He also bypasses the protection of ships like Chewbacca.

The trick with Ion Projector is, you have to roll a hit/crit each time they collide, a 50% chance. Otherwise with their next move can zoom past you or turn away and avoid you (or at least try). But denying their move and action is still a mean thing to do while your starviper wrecks them, and Inertial Dampeners are great for that.

Guri is a fantastic pilot and it's a shame her PS isn't higher. The prince is valuable with Veteran Instincts or Push The Limit to maximize the use of boost/barrel roll to arc dodge and position for the best damage.
