Tips
The Raider is a tricky ship to play. Utilizing it's agility and shields are key. In order to use the Raider well, the player has to be familiar with other smaller craft. The best way to play the raider is with hit-and-run tactics. Have a Leviathan or a similar ship teleport you into the midst of the enemy ranks, or have a larger ship cover your entry After that, use your large arsenal to pound the enemy ships. After the shock has worn off and the ships are scrambling to get their defenses ready, use your shield or an larger ship to cover your retreat. Doing this to an individual ship who is alone and is not very agile can be a good way to eliminate enemy ships.

Another tactic is to distract the enemy by darting in, harassing the enemy, and then drawing them out while using your shields to cover your retreat. While the enemy is focused on you, your teammates can hammer them from behind. This can be especially deadly on smaller, unsuspecting groups of ships.
