Give me some Kimogila ideas!

[flooze 544]

I got a second Kimogila for cheap. Now I want to bring them both to the table. 

Since I do not have much experience with this craft, my call goes out to you to share some experience. Of course I could just eyeball some janky list, but with table time being really scarce for me, I'd like to avoid at least a part of the learning curve. 

 

Regarding the ship:

From the little experience I have, I tend to making them cheap, because they never lasted long when I played them. But this may be due to me playing them badly or pairing them badly. Maybe you have any ideas on pairing or advice on approaching with them?

Them not lasting long for me makes the ship weird for me, since I somehow feel tempted to use the white reload action. But when the ship is gone and still has some ammo on board, the reload is somehow wasted. What is your experience, is the reload action a bait, or have you found them to be ever-slugging ammo boats of doom? If so, how? 

The ship screams bullseye, but how realistic is it to achieve? Three points worth it for the white barrel roll, or just go for marksmanship? 

The named pilots, Torani and Dalan - their abilities are potent on paper, but they also rely on the bullseye. I like this thematically, do you like it on the table? 

 

Regarding the list :

I toyed around on yasb, but nothing did really excite me. 

I will present them anyways, feel free to tare them apart.

Contrband allows focus on turn arounds. Ion cannon leaves that threat on the table if opponent does spend time going for kimos first. Also an iond ship allows easier bullseye for Kimos. Guri will just eat up ships as they go for kimos and ion cannon

Two Kimo, two Kihraxz, and a 3rd Kihraxz or Torkil Mux.  There's 4 points to spare, so a pair of Crack Shot would be nice.  Not fancy, but just a lot of heft.

Unfortunately the I across the pilots, is to low to make use of most ordnance without a sensor slot for passive. They are good at clogging lanes though. Contraband Cybernetics is a must.
