Perdition

This raid is basically the same as the last one with an extra target you can choose to hit. I choose not to.
How do you get easy/cheap points?

65s

Strategy 1:

Sub out between 1 and 3 of the hellhounds.
Come back in with a couple enforcers / mastodon / HLNC and a sub puller and finish it off for minimal damage. If I clear out 2 hellhounds, my fleet takes about 10 minutes damage total.

Technically you can sub out everything except the scouts if you choose to. And even with those you can use your subs as a decoy .....

Strategy 2:

Zombie mastadons + seawolves (or any zombies really) to take out the small scout ships with long range thermal. Sub the rest at max range.

Siege:

Refer Decent vids – strategy is more or less the same

Elite:

This is the main target that I will be hitting.
Run my hellstrikes through the middle whilst hiding a HLNC in the corner. Mine aren’t good enough to take out everything, but make sure I take out all the front javelins.

Bring back my enforcers/mastodons/hlnc and park them near the start and take out the ships as they circle. Retreat

Bring in a spotter + mastodon (+ blank hlnc if your spotter isn’t frosty). To clean up the rest of the towers.
My first effort was pretty terrible. I only need to control 2 hellstrikes and kept pressing the wrong number keys, so they were stopping under apoc fire. Not pretty. About 10 hours repairs all up for an elite worth about what, 3.5 million?

Conclusion:

Two elites per day gets me 28 million, with very little seat time. Add in a bunch of 65s to do my bit towards opening the sector store and I’ll grab all the main prizes coin free.....
