Does anyone have an idea of what Priority level the Civilian Space docks are? I'm amused by a possible Raiders Campaign of Civilian vs Raiders. So I'm trying to gauge the priority of the Civilian ships.

are you letting the civilians call in help from governments for your campaign, e.g can spend a skirmish point on EA or LONAW?

I'd imagine, due to the power disparity, that declaring the civilians from a particular faction and allowing that faction as an allied group wouldn't hurt. i.e. a handful of local EA warships that are passing through. Though it would have to be a small raiders campaign due to the power levels of both civilians and raiders. something like 10 Raid points of Civilians and 10 Skirmish points of Raiders.
Call it an Early Raiders Campaign, before they get big enough to draw the attention of local military and cause a full blown Raider Campaign.

couple of ideas concerning the campaign:
1. i reckon the spacedocks should be raid level at most. if you look at the orion its probably just about half as good, though it probably isn't even that good.
2. for allies allow patrol (and very occasionaly skirmish) level ships only, so patrol boats can be sent out, but very little else, as fighters would not be sent on their own. Also it should just be from EA and LONAW, as ancients would not be bothered, narn and centauri too busy killing each other to get involved and minbari would probably think that they were too important to get involved.
3. might want to think about not allowing the raiders nova, too advanced, would just be unfair
4. set the campaign in 2250-ish?

You could always (or not
) do a sort of Mag 7 in Space (was it Battle Beyond the Stars?) and have a rag tag bunch of Patrol or Skirmish ships from the EA, League, Narn and Centauri Fleets vs a Raiders Nova and its escorts across a campaign??Also you will need to have much reduced patrol level battles? Perhaps even something more like the Final Victory Campaign with a series of low level battles that esculate into a final confronation?
Sounds like fun anyway.......
Sador - a decedant and disgraced Centauri leader in his Nova (maybe full EA stats rather than Raider?) plus the usual selection of Delta V's, carriers and mod freighters
vs
Shad in his Drazi Warbird (his Grandfathers ship)
Gelt in his Maximus (former Centauri Noble and wanted assassin)
Saint-Exmin in her Tishat (Minbari Warrior - survivor of the War seeking a"good" death)
Space Cowboy in his Tethys Cutter ( a dodgy ex EA weapons Merchant)
Cayman of the Lambda Zone in his Ka'Toc Battle Destroyer (a Narn sometime raider and pirate whose family were slaughtered by Sador)
The Nestor in their Vaarl Scout Saucer (a small group of Vree who feel the planet is worth their interest)
And I can't find out the seventh -damn oh well
hmm how sad am I?

Why not set the Raiders campaign in the Dilgar War? EarthForce is busy administering the smackdown to the Dilgar, so the local merchants, traders and businesses have to form their own rag-tag militia force to deal with the Raiders that are swarming everywhere while the war distracts the military.
Maybe give them some Raiders units of their own, probably just Delta-V fighters and armed freighters, plus the Tethys and Hermes and standard civilian ships. This would represent mercs hired to help them as well as cheap weapons they've bought from arms dealers who're probably supplying the Raiders as well.

drazi would be the main people to join in the fight with the civilians because they love to have battles, and it would be more fun for them to fight the raiders than the civilians who on their own can't put up much of a fight. the EA would also join in to show off their forces, or to test new hulls if its after the minbari/earth war - the raiders would make good target practice!
