So I recently picked up the Raider and last night I got the chance to give it a go. Basic 300 point build that I will post later. I built the Raider for energy/shield recovery without having to use up a recover action and keep it from shooting. So Shield Tech and Backup SHield Generator featured pretty highly.

I faced a joint force of S&V and Rebels
The Rebels were all nameless pilots (Y-wing, B-wing, and A-wing and a HWK) save for a Fat Wedge.
The Scum fielded a Loaded for bombs Emon, Bossk, N'duru (Z-95) and a genaric Z-95
I set up with Juno, Vader and Fel to the right of the Raider and the three TIE's to the left.
Scum player came in from the right flank with Emon and Bossk and the Z's came in from the left. The Rebels set up in a line and advanced slowly. They didnt even enter the fight until the third round.
Emon flew in first with Bossk right behind and bumped Vader instead of Juno due to an error on my part. Juno and Fel came in at him on Range 1 and the three TIE's went after Nduru. Emon missed his shot on Fel and had his shields stripped before being blown out of the air by the Raider. Bossk stripped a shield off of Juno.
The three TIES peppered N'duru.
Vader locks on to Bossk and throws out a Cluster missle doing ruthlessness damage to the genaric Z pilot. Juno takes a shot at the Z and misses. Fel over shoots Bossk and ended up behind him but close enough for a Randge 3 shot at the rebel Y wing which stripped a shield.
Bossk took a shot at juno and missed. The Z took a shot at Juno and missed as well. (Juno was having a good night.)
The Three TIES peppered Nduru but couldnt land any real damage.
The Rebel Y wing took a shot at Fel but missed.
The Raider finished off the generic Z.
Round 3 brought the rebels to the field.
Target locks galore on the aft of the raider and some fickle red dice stripped the shields and delt two crits and 3 damage to the aft section. The three TIEs took out Nduru and the HWK made the mistake of getting to close the Raider and was destroyed due to movement. Fel went down due to the combined efforts of the Bwing and Y wing and some bad rolls on my part.
Regened the shields as best I could but by this time the SCum player was down to just Bossk. The Raider was positioned so the Wedge ended up in the sweet spot and met his end.
The 3 TIES K turned and tried to get back in to the fight.
Turn 4 had Vader bugging out of the furball to avoid shots from Bossk and sent him way out of the fight. Juno took a Direct hit and took a hard 2 to get out of the fight. The remianing rebel craft came up on the right to target the raider and fired along with Bossk but stripped the shield from the aft and put another face down on the section.
The next two rounds were basically clean up. Juno bugged out and the 3 TIEs came in to finish off the Y wing. Vader nearly clipped the Raider but took the shot that finished off the Tooth and spawned the Pup. The Raider finished off the Pup and the Bwing and the TIES finished off the Awing. No more damage was done to any of my craft.
Not a bad first go for my first Epic game. Tweeks with certianly be made to my build and my flight style.
