Since 1.0 I've been a fan of Guri and Talonbane, and since I have all of these nifty Black Sun painted ships I want to see if I can make a list that I like with just those ships. I'm happy with the basics of this list but have a few points left to spend as I don't feel the need for an 8 point bid. I've considered Contraband Cybernetics or Cloaking Device on Talonbane which give me a 3 point bid. I've also considered putting Dead Man's Switches on the Z's. Looking for suggestions on what upgrades to add to fill in the last few points of this list.

Guri (62)
Predator (2)
Advanced Sensors (8)

Talonbane Cobra (50)
Predator (2)
Shield Upgrade (6)

Black Sun Soldier (27)
Trick Shot (1)
Homing Missiles (3)

Guri might enjoy outmaneuver

I thought about that and had it on her initially, however I switched it out for Predator based on comments in other threads about how often Outmaneuver came into play vs Predator. I've got some time to test this so may try it both ways.

In this type of list, Outmanoeuver should activate way more frequently than Predator (speaking about Guri here---different story for Talonbane, of course).

I have a very similar list, but its what I consider casual, since I've stacked quite a few upgrades on Guri & Talonbane. But Guri ALWAYS gets behind the enemy in every game I play. Quite simply the opponent cannot ignore Talonbane, and so he is always the first targeted. And Guri has some nice tricks up her sleeve, so even if you dangle her out in a seemingly vulnerable position, either her funky barrel roll or advanced sensors can often be used to get her out of danger or at worse, bumping into something so they cannot shoot her.

Its a fun list for sure, but hard to get good value out of Talonbane since he's quite squishy for his points.

I had some concerns about how fragile this list seems, hence the Shield upgrade on Talonbane. I have enough room to put a Hull Upgrade on him as well, which may be worthwhile and actually take advantage of the Kihraxz multiple modification slots, as long as I keep Predator on Guri.
