A raider is a formidable opponent, not only because of it's weapons but because of of the way it's build. When the front dies, which usually dies first, it still has it's most important action left, which is target lock. It will point it's front towards your ships and use the crippled section as a battering ram and does care about damage and the rear will be hard to target. And it will still retain one of it's hardpoints.

You'll need a couple of fast ship to get behind him. Wazat made a good point with not fielding named pilots, but you might want to make an exeption with Fenn Rau. If he can get behind the raider, he can singlehandedly cripple that section in three rounds. Then have the rest focus oon the front.

And try Ion weapons to deny him energy. His weapons has longer range, so he can kill your ships before they close in. But if you can Ion him, he will have less energy to distribute and recover shields with. But you should also have someone to deal damage. I would field the two headhunters with Ion Pulse Missiles as you might Ion some of the surrounding enemy ships as a bonus. And in this case i would fly Kaa'to Leandros and N'dru Suhlak. Gnore their abilities, they are only there to fire off their ordnance before the huge ship kills them.
