Thread: Can 1 or 2 people do the infamous Melee Acc quest?

even *if* you can solo it, someone will run in and gank it from you.
Here's a method that works:
1. Don't bother with a base over 4k from the village. The guy will die before you make it back from poison
2. Assuming no one is going to gank your base (good luck!), use a pet/droid to destroy the turrets before lowering the shield
3. Assuming you are melee and can fight 6 Sith at once after lowering the shield, you can solo this part of the mission
4. The 1 or 2 Sith that attack you on your way to the village are VERY slow and easy to pick off- so slow that you might not even have to fight most of them. That's good because they waste precious travel time.
I know of two people that pulled this off in the middle of the night when there wasn't a line waiting to steal the mission from each other.
1)Althought this mission can be done from further than 4k ( I did it from around 4.5k away ) its inadvisable.
2)Always lower shields first, once the shields are down thebase is yours and no one can steal it.
3)Need to have at least 4xxx in CM or Doc in your template if your on your own.
4)don't need to worry about the sith on the way back to the village you'll only really need tokill about 5 of them.
You shouldn't really bother soloing anyway as you won't get both the rewards so find someone wanting to do the quest as well.
). The most difficult part is the buggy escort (when the Commander stops following you because he loses line of sight etc). Elsewise it's a piece of cake. I have failed this mission many times now because of the buggy escort part (ran out of time) but I could do the capture part blindfolded and with one arm tied to my chair 
.I was able to this mission with just myself and one of my Guild's Jedi.
We did it first try out but I kinda wish I had waited for someone else that needed the quest too, since I didn't get the "broken" mind buff crystal (but it was my last unlock of the 9 that I wanted) and wanted to be done with village quests.
Now all I hve to do is bank FS xp, since I don't want to be a Jedi just yet, enjoying Ranger/Rifleman too much!

I'd like to say, me and my friend did the mission from 4.8k away. He died from poison only 250m away from the base, HOWEVER, we wasted time fighting a NS and a ton of Sith while leaving the base. If we'd been smart the one w/ teh commander would have kept going and I would have argo'd all of them then burst run off. We would have made it w/ time to spare had it not been for the wasted time fighting.

So we went back to the camped base, Omega, on Bria. First night the phase shifted, very crowded and people stealing each others turn left and right. We got it the second try, ran the guy back, got the reward. Took a few hours in total. All day off and on though.
Piece of cake.
