Epic game

300 points.

Tantive w/ single turbo and two quads

Escorted by

4 bwing, Btl ywing, biggs and maybe something else.

Your flying

Raider

What would you put on the Raider and use for escorts?

Switch to rebels and spam tlt Goldies

Tie swarm against all that low agility

I've been flying 5 ties, an ace like vader or soontir and a couple of kitted out royal guard with my raider. Leaves you 40-50 points for raider toys or push a tie or two to alpha squadrons.

Mara Jade & Fleet Officer on the Raider
Jonus and Howlrunner for escorts for the Raider for attack die mods

Black Squadron TIEs w/PTL & SD - annoying little buggers to try to take out when they Focus/Evade on top of the 4 Agility - as escorts

That tantive would be a much bigger concern if it had ion batteries, the quads severly limit its output. Raiders devour one agility ships like crazy so don't fret too much about those.

I think the ideal raider loadout would be this. But there is an argument for the unique imperial huge ship crew. Gunnery team is a huge energy waste though. The tittles are all sweet as well.

I like the idea of howl and jonus, but it's not easy staying within range one of the raider

There are times it can get pretty close to running over your own ships

Did consider tie swarm but if I go with academy chances are good some will die before they get to shoot.
