I am fighting a guy soon who i would describe as 'friendly but skilled'

I want to use the K-wing because i love the model and the idea of bombing everyone. I considered taking a biggs/r2 as a bodyguard for the damaging ships but felt i needed the ship count.

YT2400 (48)

Dash rendar

Outrider

Heavy laser cannon

K-wing (36)

Warden pilot

advanced SLAM

Extra munitions

Bombadier

Conner net

Cluster mines

B-wing (29)

Blue pilot

Heavy laser cannon

T-70 xwing (24)

Blue pilot

Z-95 (13)

Tala pilot

I think the list will be cool, but still considering the 2 naked Incom birds.

I love 150-point lists and yours is very cool. Here's a variant:

Dash (HLC, Outrider title)

Blue Ace (BB-8, Autothrusters)

Dagger (Advanced Sensors, HLC)

Guardian (Advanced SLAM, Extra Munitions, Proximity Mines, Cluster Mines, Bombardier)

150 points

So, 1 less ship but a boost in Pilot Skill and upgrades/abilities. Predator is very common in my area so higher PS is often key. Target selection is a bit tougher for your opponent too, as even if the K-WIng is a big threat, the others can't really be ignored either. And Blue Ace paired with BB-8 can be quite unpredictable and becomes a great blocker.

Used my list and it went great, the xwing flew off the board (whoops) and the zwing did bugger all, so maybe reducing numbers could work (the xwing did distract whisper so he kind of worked)

I LOVE the kwing, my highlight of the match, the kwing 3 straight then 3 bank slaming perfectly between 2 of the enemy ships before dropping a cluster mine. Then next turn (due to bumps) 1 straghting and hitting the same 2 ships again with cluster mines.
