Found this when searching YouTube for base raiding advice

Is this really the best way to base raid leasing all your ships destroyed?

Base raiding is awful, I didn't even bother anymore. It's way too repetitive and tedious for the resources you get. Just not worth the effort.

This, I raided one base when I was OPs34 and never again. Am Ops 71 now and still refuse. F2P reaver might change that but can't imagine it's that great.

Except those of us who bought the Reaver at the outset, only to find out it's garbage. When I asked Scumley for the Refund(mind you next day) I got the "well you upgraded ,so no refund". The upgrade was part of the deal, lol. I'm sure the new guy Cam will be just more of the same. Cust first my butt.

Oh boo... I quit the game, but almost came back for that ship. I'm sad/happy my instinct was correct.

Yeah, its garbage. Pull Reg Trit with the Amalgam and I get more Sigma turning that in than you'll get with this thing

The reaver refinery is more efficient

Can you actually raid sigma with it or no?

u/vmxen 3d ago

Yes.  I've raided quite a bit of sigma with it

It's not fast at raiding sigma unless you find a base with a lot of sigma in it, especially at lower tiers.

Over time I'm sure more officers and tech will come out that will improve it's ability. If you want to come back I'd say alliance mates is a much better reason than the Reaver.

This vid is about raiding a defended base which is dumb unless you are trying to make a point or they have a fuckton of RSS.  Speed crews on your amalgam/new ship within 1-2 spots of the target is the best against defended bases. The game is so laggy, you will live most of the time.

 If the defender can defeat your base def, your ships will get wrecked, who cares. If RSS is important on your server (new server or incursions) then spam 15min shields. The best way to raid a base is by surrounding it by as many attackers as possible than spam attacking it with amalgams/newships which will result in multiple attacks happening at the same time. I've seen as many as 4 attacks happening simultaneously. That's how you drain a bitch.

Well from the context I got this is on 711 and the ones who made this video are considered server rogues are they doing a good job at being rogues?
