I only "worked" part time on this raid by autoing the 60's with skyfires. I just couldn't bring myself to spend hours driving to do better. I got what I was after, then just quit the raid. I have a fleet of manticores, but got tired of trying to refit them on the chance they might work.
During the raid I had a problem buying the offers in the mobile app and quickly sent a ticket in. after the raid and offer was over I was informed they were having problems with the app. Why offer something if you do not want to go through with it? What good are the offers after the raid? Why would I feel better or that be an answer to an offer that had technical difficulties after the offer is expired with no chance of getting them?
It's doesn't. The fire comes back over and over. I damaged my phoenix 3 times in the same target to try just what you're suggesting.
ETA: Worth noting, the fire is a random spawn. It is usually in range of ship #2 in the 65s at the start of battle. In the 85s, it's usually in the "doorway" or gate. But in the 85s, there was a 2nd rare spawn location where it couldn't clip your fleet or catch a Caedes drone (it was extinguished before the fleet could get to it). It's worth mentioning because if you tried a gunboat trick once then went into a target again and got the rare spawn, it could look like a gunboat "prep" was successful.

Thats a canned response.. and a truthful one.. if you reply politely you might get farther and get the offer reinstated or somehow compensated for... just saying
