So why does the Raider get no ability to give out raid tokens? After all it is in the name, Imperial Raider . It should get an upgrade so it can start handling out raid tokens. Might even make it a decent flotilla hunter.
So do you think Imperial Raider should get access to the new mechanic from Wave 7? Also how should they get it (new boarding card, single upgrade slot, campaign refit)?

Well, it seems like raid tokens will have a thematic correlation to boarding, like Jyn Erso and the gauntlets always evoked that sensation, so I think it’s a question of time before imps get a raid boarding action and rebels an assault squad, and well, raiders can have boarding parties so...
Dude. GREAT IDEA. I love it.
Doesn't the raider get weap team and off retro anyway?

It does. It's not great, but it is indeed a valid platform. The Raider isn't d good platform when it comes to start cakes
The trick is getting to close range without getting blown up.
It needs a new card thats for small ships to give raid tokens. I'd love it. That and some ExRacks.
Because your looking at the Raider at the wrong level... its to Raid shipping / rebel systems & there by disrupting them until the big boys come along and stop the scum.
Raiders will be Vader's delivery system of choice!
Vader's Raiders!

I mean, this is kind of the trick with using Raiders at all, so, I'm all for this idea- it's another viable build that lets this ship do what it wants to do, which is sneak up, hit hard, run away.

Please tell me this wasn't autocorrect. I want "start cakes" to totally be an Armada term!
Raiders can Raid when Star Destroyers can Destroy Stars.
... Or when Assault Cruisers can Assault ... Since, y'know, Assault is one Mechanism as to how Raid tokens are delivered...
... wait.

Raiders Can't Raid because Raiding isn't doing anything. The Keyword is Assault .
What you're after is Assault Gunboats.

But assault isn’t the only way of delivering raid tokens, therefore raiding could be used for any medium of providing raid tokens until we get an official term

So could whinging under that methodology.
I think the real question is...
How much raid could a raider raid if a raider could raid raid?
The Raider provides alternate-art raid tokens, that are rectangular and have a yellow burst on them.

I guess that is what those double evade tokens are for. But yeah once at close range (which is what blue black volleys are for) it immediately dies.
Why can't the assault frigate assault?

Raiders perform the best raid action of the game, preventing a ship from resolving any commands for the rest of the game.
Because they're dead.

In so many words, yes.
Just because they loaded the boarding torpedoes with proton warheads instead of Stormtroopers doesn't make it any less of a Raid.
Try playing 3 Raiders vs 1 ISd2 or Cymoon with SAD. Its hilarious how hard it is. Very fun though.
It'll be better after Wave7 with Brunson. And adding Tua RBD
I would laugh at an ordnance care that lets you spend a black crit die to create a raid token. Could be fun

Brings a whole new meaning to the term "Rocket troopers"

THIS ^
But in addition to Dras' most excellent suggestion:
DX9 Stormtrooper Transports
Assault Transports
Assault Shuttles
Also - their likely victims targets:
Container Transports
Cargo Ferries
Container Transports (Other)
