Hehe - indeed, the ship raids last night were fantastic, and a copious source of Vanguard Merits! 
curse you alt-isis! MUST GET TO 35 with ONE TOON!!!!!!!!!
Mmmm, lots of visits to the hospital. I think the Rikt on the spaceship decked me 6 or 7 times last night. It was painful to see how squishy my scrapper is 
There were some raids before that where we were much more of a united front, and completely pwned. Splitting into groups of 3 or 4 is asking for trouble, as proved by the rather large pile of lvl 50 toons on the deck last night!
Any plans for more?

They were appropriately appalled

They're now putting it all together.

Eight legs, one body, silk,
spider, brilliant!"
Agreed, we were split up over too large an area, our numbers were always down since so many of us were in transit between the spaceship and the hospital and I don't think we had an empath which further added to our woes. For future raids we need to stick together, not aggro too many mobs and kick Rikt butt 
I'm taking my dark/dark defender in there next time, instead of my empath. More bodies can be res'd then!
Was a great time, even if I did come in late.

It was a great time, though a few raids were a bit too disorganised.
While two of the raids I was in went just fine, the third was a mess, IMO mainly because we never secured the hub of the ship before U'kon Gr'ai appeared.
But it's a great and fun raid anyway.
Paragon Wiki says you need about 30 players to take down Gr'ai and all his friends.

I'll be back there again tonight - still need to plant a few more bombs for the badge, and take down the GM 6 more times 
The raids were organized enough, but maybe having at least one person who can rez and fly/hover per team, who can then stay in the air over the center of the ship might help get people on their feet faster - or at least one person per team who can tp and fly/hover, so they could make the trip back from the hospital faster.
You could have a dedicated rez/hover/tp team, but to stay safe, they'd have to hover over the battle, and that'd mean they'd miss out on the merits, so it's better to have them split up over the teams, so they still get merits even when not fighting.

GG if im there, wanna help me lead it?
If there's any ship raids going down tonight I'll be there 1000%, I'll even take a stab at helping to lead if it needs to be done

Yeh great raids last night. I would like to give a thanks to the raid leaders. I think there were only 3, Lord Spawnus, Meta and Telekin. So top stuff
Im with GG, I think we should have at least one TPer per team. To many people were lying there waiting for a rez. If the dead were to hosp and a team member TP them back I think there would be a less chance of a wipe out.
I will be raiding for most of the day as I have another day of work and I need lay more bombs for the badge.
Hope to see you all there
I'm glad you earned so many Merits, I wished I was able to join you but I was a bit busy kicking Riktis's butts in the Lady Grey TF.
I've signed up for another Grey TF today at 7 p.m. (UK), but I'll try to go for a walk on RWZ before of that time so I can join you today with any of these characters:
- Kadabra (lvl 50 ninjas/dark miasma MM),
- Hielo Radiactivo (lvl 47 ice/rad controller),
- Defcon Kid (lvl 50 empath/electric defender).

Btw, I'm reading paragonwiki about raids and I'm confused... how many times do you must defeat U'Kon Gr'ai in order to earn his badge?
http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/index.ph..._At_Arms_Badge
Here it says 10 times...
http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/index.php/Rikti_Ship_Raid
But here doesn't say anything about it.
Any help??

The badge description is correct - you would need to be on 10 successful raids for the badge.
Thx for information.
