Can someone from the team give us a heads up as to which fleet (Razor or Batray) is meant for which target.

    Why do you care ?
    Both ships are "Supposed" to be effective for both targets.

    My guess is the lower target is for the bloody bats.

    Yet Bat owners can do so much with that hull. How is your Raid Razors? That's about all they are good for. Bats is the Skill Hull, the other is a hulk smash , that's about all its got.

    Each have a bias. Given past history, whatever the previous raid's pattern was, likely will be repeated. So the higher target numbers likely match up as would the lower, so, most likely 100 --->104 and 102 ---> 106.

    Actually i have the Bats, and found the Razors were outperforming them on the Dutchman targets.  Where do you see the Bats outperforming the RT- just curious.

    I used Bats in Dutchman ended up in global 10. No coin aswell.

    It does depend on your build, your driving, the time you are wasting on the game, rogue crews.
    So which ever fleet you will use, Bat or Razor, you will always have your own thoughts on the ships.
    In my opinion Razors were nice in Dutchmans, but couldn't do as much targets as bats do without repairing, due to range of the weapon.
    In my case, I could do over 100 lvl 13 without Repairing. (I didn't say I wasn't taking damage though, just found a way to extend my life expectancy)
    Only with bats + brennus.
    But that is just MY opinion. If my razor fleet was fully fitted, maybe my opinion would be different.

    Also, Where do you see the Bats Outperforming the RT, Sub Sector Skirmish Core ?
    Unless they fixed it. But my Brennus was doing much better than a RT fleet.

    Bats could do the Flying Dutchman for almost flawless repairs with the right setup.  Mine mostly were insta-repairs on that event.  RT's struggle in Scourge Blockades and SSRBs.  Bats have a couple few more uses.... so far.

    Ya, well I wish I had the Hyper 30's for the Bats, I think that would have helped in the Dutchman cause I was taking some splash damage- probably my driving didn't help, was getting more of the hang of it after several tries. The Bats are doing quite well in the 104's so far, haven't tried the 106's how are you all doing in the 106's with Bats?  Probably more Reaper Subs in there if it was like the last raid.

    if you're smart, you'll use bats in the 104 and razors in the 106....still seeing one ship take 10X the damage as the rest of them....typical kix BS.

    True, I tried a 106 and took about twice the damage as the 104= the additional 5 mil was kinda nice, but definitely not worth doing again.  Ya, kix often seems to target the flag I had to insta repair it to remain in the battle- is typical kix as you say...

    1h8 repair in 104
    3h repair in 106
    there is bias against bat ray in these targets, brenus flag has least damage in 104, nearly dead in 106

    Weird. I'm seeing such a wide range of damages. Players with razor fleets are reporting 3-5 hrs damage for the set driving while others are reporting 3.5- death autoing. I wish we knew what the tweak was that saw the damage go up. May help us understand the targets better, but there is a very wide gap in damages this time around.

    That was my first impression with that event, but after toying around with driving they ended up being just as effective. They also walk through the ssrbs on auto.
    You will only receive my scorn from this point forward

    Easy to work out yourself....the one with more interdics (smart torps) are the batray target - the other has more subs which is the razor target.......
