Cylon Raider

Template:Ship InfoboxThe Cylon Raider is the basic Strike Interceptor of the Cylon fleet. It's sleek design means it can speed past nearly all enemy ships and hunt down slower ships as well as dodge bullets in firefights. The Raider's purpose is anti-strike, anti-missile and in some case, anti-escort. In small groups, Raiders can take down some Lines or do massive damage whilst others hold its attention with a bit of luck and skilled pilots. With 4 engine slots (5 for advanced version) the Raider can become even faster, catching up with slower targets with ease, never allowing an enemy to escape. The Raider also come with high avoidance so lines are extremely ineffective against it. Think carefully before taking one on your own though, its high health and damage means your mincemeat if it has missiles or accuracy-enhancing rounds, unless your a skilled pilot and able to shoot them down. If you have not advanced your Raider yet, it is  almost compulsory to travel in a squadron, as if you do not and you meet an enemy player, you'll be gone in a matter of seconds. Even if you have advanced your Raider, it is still recommended, unless your totally confident of your safety .It sometimes looks scary, but it is easily destroyed.

Do not use a unadvanced Raider for PVP battles, as it only has 3 weapons. If you really want to, choose an enemy player who's level is low.

The Raider is a choice for a starter ship, the other being the Cylon Heavy Raider.

The Cylon Raider's Colonial counterpart is the Colonial Viper MK II.

With the release of the stealth ship in update 41, the Raider has had an increase to its flank and boost speeds as it is one of the few ships with speeds high enough to be able to catch a stealth ship.

In-game Description

"Sleek and deadly, the raider is the primary interceptor of the Cylon fleet. Designed to use its speed and agility to perform rapid strikes and chase down slower, less maneuverable targets.

As an Interceptor, the Raider can be equipped with more engine systems than other strike craft, increasing its already impressive performance."
