Suggestions? Critiques?
not bad,
Kihraxz are not easy to fly with their interesting dial. always feels like they need afterburners to me.
I wonder if subbing in Old Teroch for Talonbane would be better here. load out of the genetic Kihraxz's looks ok. pretty expendable. deadman's might just help keep it on the table if u can keep them in close when they r close to exploding.

And yes I use old teroch in my current list ...he may swing back in. But for now

Well dang
I had an entire post disappear as I posted it
My current list is teroch, seevor, and 3 khirahz. No real upgrades
Teroch certainly has a better pilot ability, and dial. But fangs are so ...swingy. no shields and only 4 hull make them particularly susceptible to a bad evade roll.
So while teroch has a better pilot ability, talonbane has more options and I would say better upgrade options
And with serissu in there to make everything just that little bit tougher and less susceptible to bad dice luck the khirahz are free to be shoved down the enemies throat to do as much damage as possible before dying and (hopefully) doing even more on their way out
I ran with one or two Kihraxz fighters mixed with several different squads, and I find them to be good solid generalists. The only real drawback is trying to spell or pronounce the name.
Talonbane did well for me. I haven't ever used shield or hull upgrades. I'd rather spend my points on offense, but, that's a personal thing.
@ForrestGrump , I'd pick Stealth Dev. on Cobra any day over shield. I feel like it forces awkward range control for the other guy in a lot of engagements.
@Da_Brown_Bomber , Afterburners is really limited on the Ks with their 5 dial options speed 3-5 to proc, but Cobra recall likes it to control that initial flank or 4k+react bank in to land those crucial arcs. Also recommend on him for those turns you really need the dohble-repo and need your action for Broll.

Personally like the 4pt bid and SMS off the Ma raiders for this particular mid range list. Ion on M3 makes him trick target while your Marauders keep blasting. Careful with cobra and burn those charges if you have to stay alive.
Alright
I'll give that a shot
Thanks
I like Graz with Outmaneuver, Afterburners and Inertial Dampeners; helps him position nicely for some pretty nasty shots.
Well I tried this out tonight
Played vs kylo, scorch and 2 tie-sfs
Was a good showing I think, the opponent conceded. The khirahz did everything I asked for
But serissu was mostly a bust. It was really nice having the rerolls, and they gave me a ton
But they didn't really help. My green dice hate me.
The torpedoes were a waste, never even got an opportunity to get a target lock with her.
Not sure it's worth the 6 points. Tempted to swap them out for a tractor cannon perhaps
For the points a starviper seems a better point. But I did enjoy the two ps 5 pilots
I am sure I am gonna need a few more games

If you have access to the upgrades maybe:
Serissu (40)
Marksmanship (1)
Autoblasters (2)
Total: 43
And then put Deadman Switch on both of the Marauders?
Lol I lack the autoblasters card 😕

Upon reflection
I am not so sure this is wise
generally I wanna (or seem to want to) fly them together. In formation to support each other and gang up on an enemy ship
thus the deadman switches would be as detrimental to me as my opponent. And odds are they have more shields than I do (grumble grumble)
that seems a better choice for a lone wolf type ship, that's off by itself
im sure all of ya'll have more experience than I do, so correct me if I am wrong
