In my last ling round, I had a gimmick where I made tons of Shitty Bill/stable mutagen pills, and after assuming his form, went around acid spitting people and forcefeeding the pills to them. When they woke up, you got Shitty Bill screaming about how he was an evil ling. Eventually I was eaten by a rather less interesting ling.
So I dunno, there's room for gimmickry, especially with mimic voice and such. I do agree with all the ling's powers and objectives being so murder-oriented, there's not all that much room for coming up with anything beyond a plan to kill people as fast as possible. Maybe giving them objectives that don't require depopulating a third of the station each might help, like some of the more freeform traitor objectives.
