What other races can give good raid? (Destiny)

Vex are time travelling robots with portals to give us novel gameplay.
What can Fallen give us?
Hive?
Cabal?
The Cabal have a small moon to play on but will Bungie give us low gee gameplay or a level that isn't a lumpy euclidean plane?
Psions can live in computers; could we have a Geth mainframe style adventure? Could they try to manipulate our minds to confuse us as to what is real and what is not?
Could we use our ships to have a space battle with Fallen in the Reef?

I was wondering this. The Hive should be interesting enough given their Black Magic. The fallen will probably have strange war machines you have to take down. I'm thinking you have to piece together how to kill them like you would a colossus in Shadow of the Colossus.
As far as the Cabal, who knows. We won't find that out for a while :-p
P.S. I hope we don't use our ships because I like my default ship, and having to get a new one suitable for combat would be lame :-(
Cabal and Fallen don't need space magic, they have ships!

Ships look like one of those things that got simplified to allow the game to ship given their procedural ready component based nature. Silly Bungie would have been making the game everyone seems to want in 2019 still if someone didn't put their foot down, I'm sure!
We know from LNoS that Bungie can do space combat... I would hope for something a bit deeper like Tie Fighter but even without that, what about a raid in the middle of a giant fleet action vs Cabal or Fallen? Raid roles could involve boarding/disabling certain types of support ships at certain times, or even surface action such as in RotJ. Don't synchronize? Instead of a fail state, new ships can move in to provide shields/covering fire or whatever they are doing for the capital ship target.
You could also make it a little dynamic, have fall back plans/possibilities if you fail to nail execution first go. The raid/fleet could reconfigure based on your failure and reduce the loot and add to play time accordingly.
I felt that the Halo fiction and the boarding missions we did get wanted to be something this insane, but it would take some effort to pull off! Maybe now they have shipped they can loose a team to go buck wild with the technology as it is while everyone else slaves away at hitting the contract milestones. I get the feeling that's what the raid we did get was.

You have to get the Raid ship, it comes in 4 parts and you only have a chance to get the cockpit for beating it on hard.
Wait, Psions can what now?

Are you an XBox player?
In the PS4 strike, there are special Psions called flayers. They have infiltrated a computer network, and are 'inside' of it. You have to flush them out, then kill them.

I never noticed that particular detail. I guess someone in my Fireteam must've talked over it.
Thanks for explaining :)

Once again, I predicted it :-p
