Raidisodes possible without dying?

Is it possible to play a Raidisode without dying?
Ok, i count ground death as incap because i can be "rezzed" by players, but losing my ship should be it for the round. We win every space part though, but not without dying permanently. I am Tac/Escort so i usually do the self-sacrification thing. Rush, grab agro and unleash hell as long as possible, rinse and repeat.
As a smart captain i would break off just in time and get my ship repaired but i am sure that way too many probes or spheres make it through the time gate. Dying offers a much quicker ship heal than any group member could ever supply. We need every bit of DPS we can get for that part, so even sci-ships or cruisers can't stay back a bit to support the tactitians.
I'd like to see a record of the Devs playing this as intended. Noone dies and not a single Borg ship makes it through the time gate. This is pretty much the same for all space parts of any Raidisode.
I am up for "fair" and managable enemy strikes and smart group play. But once dead/destroyed the round ends for that player. (same as lockout in boss rooms)
If everybody fails, the round resets. How's that?

    Not possible with bugged Borg who one or two-shot you (ie: The Cure). It's impossible. No, it's not nearly-impossible. It's impossible. I don't know if this has been fixed or not in the latest patch.

    If you don't count individual deaths, on the ground it's possible to go through without wiping if you know exactly what to do.
    In space, counting every ship explosion? Nope. Impossible. The way the game is currently set up it's too easy to die, with or without bugged Borg abilities (those just make it worse).

    I agree, it is possible to do without a complete party wipe. Still, individual characters are going to die. No way around that.

    The only exception is if everyone wants their Borg BO in the Khitomer Accord run. Everyone has to die to get the Accolades. And I'm not sure if it's possible to resuscitate people after they died there. I've never tried anything other than respawning since it was faster.
