    Following the current trend, it would appear to be the 7th. Due to that being the first week of the year, I could also see it being pushed to the 14th.

    I have not seen anything official on the date yet though.

    I'm hoping for more limited Specials because I'm running out of those components.

    Not to say that I prefer the new limited method but it's probably here to stay...

    I am not a fan of limited prints outside of hulls and base weapons. Limited ship components was a bad idea IMO and I really don't like them. However I love the ones we have, just wish we had more. I think the current intention with them is to offer them as side prizes in raids, similar to tokens. Obviously there weren't any in the December raid since those are historically hull raids.
    Ya, I'm not a fan of the concept either for ship components as it seemed like a way to stretch out the rewards earned by players.

    If they are side prizes, I hope that they will maintain the proper balance given that they are "limited".

    Speaking of the January 2016 Raid I hope that it's something different and not a throwback raid, some Raid Campaigns would be nice, instead of attacking World Map Fleets.

    I don't care what date the raid will be, but I cannot see it happening to early in Jan, probably around the middle would be about right.

    I hate the concept of limited components / weapons, but I really need some more Cobra scatterguns, I hope they are in the prize list and hope they are not limited to 5, I will break the bank if needed to get at least another 10.

    Raid format, again not really bothered, as long as we don't see the Scourge as the main target.
    Never lose sight that this is a game, its not life and death!!!

    I'm betting either January's or Februarys raids is pushed back one week. More then likely Februarys will be moved back to prevent other games events being on at same time.

    Probably will be Scourge.  We had 2 extra months to build for them so don't be shocked when/if they show up.

    Since it's two-three weeks from the next raid and no new info, I'm going to assume same as last months and prepare as such

    it would be nice that the raid tournaments would be every 2 months to give us ample time to build the hull won on the prior raid and for our pockets to stabilize!!??

    The first Raids were Named Revenge Raids as well. You participated in one of them, thus earning the badge. This second iteration of Revenge Raid is still continuing, the third of this instalment coming soon...

    Sorry I was just being a smartass. I just figured either somebody can't count, or there isn't anyone left at Kix who was around when those raids took place so they simply don't know.

    Yeah, you already said that...

    Fair enuf. I thought the initial version this go round was in omage to the originals... As it was somewhat of an anniversary. But truly lost as to why they continued, other than they are the same concept.

    RR3 isnt going to be fun anyhows....Kixeye will assume everyone has a fleet of UAV bombers and will adjust the targets for that.....so those of us who dont have them will struggle or outright quit.  Power Creep at it's worst

    well its every 30 days & last Raid was on the 10th so next will most likely be on the 7th. KIXs likes to stay on time with raid so they can get coin!!

    From completing the Elite tier in FM 4 times with no other prizes left to win. I wasn't referring to tokens redeemable from the raid, not sure if they will be.
