Collectors puh - its those CSVs that scare me. I can thoroughly understand why Xenos would want to match that kind of agility & fire power.

They're terrorists.. they should have something which is unique to them...
We Got Widows!
Which are amongst the most awesome if not the most awesome guns in game.
It would be great for Xenos to have one their own VHF in future, but civilian Ships should be allowed as before.
I am satisfied anyway as long as i am allowed to fly my Moldy Crow with my Xeno who is a very poor guy ^^

A xeno HF, perhaps looking like some random heap of junk thrown together by a bunch of slightly intoxicated engineers on the Barrow. That would make me a happy little redneck.
I m Rdy made a Xeno HF, but it got lost and because of that never submitted. The Colorado Blazer, I think.
I wouldn't mind a frigate or heavy transport for looting purposes, as we cannot really get our hands on the P-Trans or similar but, well, a man can dream.

How about the Mining Ship for that purpose? It's got a fairly huge cargo bay and is one heck of a devastating lady. As far as I know it's sold in the Xeno Guard system as well.
Of course, it has some weakness - mainly the immobility. Still, I think that wonderfully matches the Xenos as the underdogs they are.

I actually do employ one to great effect and she is a mean beast... Though I need to get a cap armor for it.
I even managed to down one spectacularly mediocre lux liner with it... Though that was one heck of a fight to say the least. But I digress.
My greatest qualm with the mining ship is the difficulty it encounters navigating asteroid fields in pursuit of quarry. Its engine pods catch on rocks extremely frequently, which makes for poor times.
That being said she is very effective at scaring the heck out of people, they generally don't expect much from a mining vessel when first encountered. Then come the green bolts and the fear.

LPI line first:P
IMO, more pirate factions should fly generic Civilian ships. Unioners, yeah they can get a few of their own ships cuz they're ship workers. Gaians, FA, LWB, Bundschuh (Sabres, but still), Xenos? Not so much. I think it adds a certain flavor to flying as them.
If anything, Xenos should get either a Heavy Fighter, a Mk. II Level Freighter, or a "Frigate" (Transport) as Dusty mentioned.
Something with Civilian-line texture, but with scratches and rusty splotches about the ship.
A way a lone a last a loved a long the riverrun, past Eve and Adam's, from swerve of shore to bend of bay,
brings us by a commodius vicus of recirculation back to Howth Castle and Environs.
