May Raid, what to do

This raid sucks 

Title says it all. With ludicrous damage dealt by Zoe's Rhinos and a B set not worth the points to do. 
I'm trying to auto as many C sets as I can, trying to reach the Switchblade missile, as it can replace my Disruption Missiles, and help with incoming missile fire once in a while. The bonus are helping some...

Kixeye's gifts of forgiveness 

Each player received 3 million points, 3x Grease Monkeys crews, and 6 4-hour repair tokens.

I think i'm gonna save all the bonuses til later to use them for a better effect. Saving the crews until a raid I can actually do, and the tokens until the new forsaken mission, to save time and be able to show you what each target is like. 

For my normal account, I am saving the points until I am able to buy the Switchblade missile.

 For the lower account, I purchase the crusader, arbalest and D5-R armor. The Rhino would have been better for this raid set, but seeing as it only lasts for 4 months, while the Mines and Forsaken Mission won't be changing for a long time now. And as a level 24 now, I'm not gonna be able to hit 60 mines for the blueprint for a while now, especially  since they said they would change the mines after the raid. Link to forums if you don't believe me























I'm building the fleet first without armor to help rank it faster. If you don't remember from the Rank article I did a week ago or so; you only earn points based on what each individual ship deals and receives. i.e. for every 1/10 of your ship health you give/take you earn one VXP point for a maximum of 10 points receiving and 10 points giving. 

With high Missile defense, and Radioactive too (once I put on the armor), it should work wonders in the 30's and 40's and future Missions. 

To build a fleet of 3 though, you need a level 10 dock. So during this time, make sure to upgrade your warehouses and docks. The build time is 9 days, so during this time try and rank up the predator subs.

    1. I would consider changing the D55-B to either Siege Z or Distributor missiles once you can. And change the MX-3 to MC-3 once you can, you have anti mortars on the ship already, and if you keep moving you won't be hit with mortars. Since you can fit 3 of the ships in to a level 10 dock, you can cut back on the anti-mortars and put on some missiles to help the offence or more anti-missiles.

  2. One of the biggest problems in this game over the past year or two is falling behind in the fleet/offense department compared to our levels due to resource collection, base building, etc... For me I went with the rhino hull this raid since the crusader is in the foundry even though i still cannot obtain it for lack of a decent offensive fleet. I'm too high a level to get foundry pieces to refit the 3 vindicator fleets i have already and lack power to complete the weekly elite tier. And after one more weekly I will have every prize in the tier 3. My top hulls owned atm are vindicator, atlas, revenge, kodiak, v2h, behemoth, and rhino

    1. The 30-40 armadas are being un-level locked soon, so you can earn the fragments. Your fleet are pretty good, basing you are around level 50. The recent buffs to the Kodiak are great too, try and retrofit your vindicator once they open the 30-40 armadas. I choose the Crusader over the Rhino because it has more appeal for the mines, and based upon evidence from doom, the next forsaken mission. The rhino is a great hull, don;t doubt me on that, but the forsaken mission can be done with the crusader easily, based upon speculation, and ballistics are great for land base attacks, and with the pierce ability, knocking 3 turrets down instead of just one suits me.

    2. well, i should point out whilst i own those hulls I only have 1 fleet of atlas, 3 vindicator fleets, and 1 v2h fleet. I've built one revenge so far, incorrectly badly, and one kodiak. And on top of that I am level 78. The vinidcators I had built back when launchers ruled so I have a U fleet, a cryo fleet, and a BPCG fleet. I had thought about refitting one with arb's but didn't think it was worth the refit time. My atlas fleet also has no armor or engines yet as I built them to rank first and have not gotten them completed.

  3. You should do a post about being creative in raids, finding flaws in the level design, that could be pretty usefull for non coiners or low levels. Mostly every raid had some aspect that could be abused to get free points, mostly that takes some extra time bit if you really want it its just as rewarding

    1. Take off the siege targeting, and add some armor to the tank.
