SCUM HARPOONS?

So I've thought about trying this out, does anyone have any ideas? I threw the defensive plating in there for those pesky bombers. I think for a 4 ship fully modded harpoon missile strike, with a fairly respectable follow up squad, while low PS, I'm thinking there is quite a bit of potential here. Anyone tried this before? TL then pop the glitterstems the turn you use it.

Deflective Plating won't work... it's Rebel B/SF-17 Bomber only

It might be hard to the the range right for target locks, but if you pull it off, it'll hit fairly hard. Another thing is that a Kihraxz dies fairly quick. Only 5 HP, rather crit susceptible. It might be easier to take the new PS 3 Kimogilas. 22 points baseline, add Long Range Scanners and Harpoon for 26 points each. Two might be able to fit with a moderate-priced large base (Timewalk Assaj, an alpha-striking Bossk, etc), or perhaps 3 of these, and a filler ship of some kind.

Against a good player you are probably going to loose 2 ships before ever getting a missile off. 1 ship for sure. And getting those missiles of will be hard as the enemy can most likely close into range 1. I think you are probably better off with just 5x cartel mauraders with no ordanence. My guess is you will do alot more damage with the 5 naked ships then the 4 missile ships.
