It's been requested many times, for a long time. If it ever happens, they're gonna either need to introduce a lot more ships and make them more accessible, or else take the scarcity of ships into account when they're balancing it.
In any case, the developers are well aware by now that some people are asking for a ship raid...
And a mod will probably bury this thread in move this thread to the appropriate subforum pretty soon.
I'm sure it's on their to-do list. They do need more ships for first, and they're working on that. They have a lot of things planned, and can only do so much at a time.
I have thought that A death star raid with CLS x-wing, or a pilot luke, would be sweet. Could use the raid introduce more ships. General Grievous could get his capital ship too.
That would be awesome indeed. But what's the advantage for cg/ea? That would be a one time farm, and the point of raids is the necessity to constantly be improving your roster. It would have to be a legendary event, which would be cool, but doesn't solve the issue of wanting a fleet raid.
But maybe raids are a thing of the past, with tb/tw taking over. So many guilds just auto the raids at this point, and gvg is a whole new ballgame, as long as they can eliminate ties from the high end. Chimaera opened the door for fleet legendary battles, so adding one for the original falcon by blowing up the deathstar isn't a far reach.

I’m sure they’d take that into account. Odds are the reward for the heroic version would be a fifth capital ship.
I say forget the Falcon, if you blow up the death star you should get Red 5 (while we're at it, can we give appropriate names to Wedge/Biggs' X-Wings?). Then you could turn Farmboy Luke into a usable character, as a pilot, making it worthwhile getting him to 7* for CLS.
P1 DS ships fight off Gold Leader and YWings
P2 LS ships fight off TIE Fighters along with Laser Towers
P3 DS ships fight off Red Leader and XWings
P4 LS ships fight off Vader and Black Squadron in Trench and deal damage to port hole (like altar in Ghosts of Dathomir event)
We need way more ships before they can do a full ship raid. However, including a fleet phase in a new raid is certainly a possibility.
You’d really only need 6 or 7 per fleet, since you have to contend with enrage timers. That’d be 18-21 ships for most people, since Chimaera isn’t that common. If they tooled the difficulty with that in mind, I think it could work fine.

That is a good idea. The back and forth between DS and LS is a nice touch.
We'll probably get a ships raid when we get Hardware abilities.
That said... I think at this point raids could use some adjustments.
What if the Rancor moved to a personal raid instead of guild? So every time your guild launched a HAAT (not naat guilds, this wouldn't apply to them) it would also automatically launch a personal Rancor battle under the same 2 day time period. Everyone would get first rewards box if you complete it, and some kind of participation reward if you can't (if you're in a HAAT guild, why can't you clear a Rancor?). Would really cut down on guild time - no one would miss out - no one would have to worry about recording a zero, they just do it when they have the time.

More Fleet commanders as well.
If there is a raid, with Chimaera, that's only 4 teams available.
We need a Separatist Faction Pass bringing in a fleet commander and more ships for the Seps, as well as more ships and fleet commanders for the Resistance and FO factions.
