I solo'ed it Friday night but ran out of time before I could get to the pods. I just died and got incapped too many times. I went back Sunday night with my brother. I unlocked the elivator and I talked him through the rest. He died one time and got incapped twice, other than that he walked through the place with no prob. It took us 15min to complete the quest. For some reason most mobs on the vette don't agro on him, dunno why. They drop me all over the place like I'm one big agro.

I can solo the destroy corvette without thinking but how do you solo rescue? I can't talk to the damn prisnor because I have agro.
i recommend taking 2 tanks with you who can taunt. i can guarantee you can can finish the rescue with no more than 3 ppl, of course assuming all know their role and will play for the group.
doin the rescue solo would be one hell of an accomplishment. if anyone can do this, please let me know so i can give congratulations where due

well. I tried the rescue mission today for the first time and was successful with a little help from my hero ring. Seems that death is about the only thing to break the agro. So feeling lucky i tried my 11th mission (the assassin mission) the bad news was that I got to the target in under 10 minutes and as a TKM with 190 damage vks I ran out of time before i killed him. He went into a pron position and stayed there 99 percent of the time. I just set up a macro and wailed on him for 43 minutes before i had to abandon and run to a pod before the time ran out (was down to 2 minutes). TK needs a little love cuase that heavy armor and 75%kinetic resist was killing me. my 1500 point head hits only hit the guy for 100 points and with 200k ham that just wasnt enough. THE GOOD NEWS WAS THATNOT ONLY DID I LOOT MY FIRST AV-21 powerplant on my 11th mission i managed to loot 2 of them. Thanks alot for the guide

Woohoo, completed my template today. Then decided to use my Destroy mission ticket that I had been holding for over a month. Been waiting for friends to go up with me. They didn't want to, so I tried to solo it.
Thanks to this guide I made it through. Only died 4 times including the last death in the last room. Easy trip to Escape pods from starting point. This was Jabbas mission.
I then went and grabbed a Faction Destroy mission. I went up. Did the whole thing got to the end room and realized I forgot the code, lol. I ended up catching agro and died trying to get back to the computer room. Luckily ran in after cloning, grabbed the code and dashed for the end room. Then ran for escape pods and completed the Destroy mission again. Almost did it without dieing the second time. Oh well, won't forget that code next time.
Now I just need to print out the loot locations so I can grab a powerplant to go with my two AV21 schematics. LOL
Great guide, it helped me immensely. I don't tend to do this type of Solo stuff but today seemed to be my day. Woohoo.
Thanks again.
PS Long Winded Bump
Edit: one more thing the second time up I got done in under 20 minutes. Not bad when not looting and only my second time. once again great guide.

I think a big part of it is to have ranged mitigation, which us melee people don't have. I had a guildmate of mine who is a master Rifleman take down1 SBD by himself without ever getting remotely low on HAM, but if I try to take one on asa master Pikeman I'll be flattened pretty quickly. Mitigation helps a LOT on high end mobs, because they actually have damage ranges. If you get a level 15 creature, it has 170-180, but a high level mob like a SBD has more like 750-1500 (maybe more)I think, so it will effect the higher level much more.

These guides really help, but I don't need them anymore. I have the corvette memorized. So far I've solo'ed it around 12 times and looted 9 power plants. Twice I looted two in one mission. It just takes nice armor, and lots of B-Stims. 
See ya all later!

ok well 13 trips now. 11 of them solo on the 11th mission i finally looted 2 powerplants. On the 13th I managed another 1. finally paid off. I have never been able to complete a mission while in a group it messes up the whole agro thing. the rescue mission i did once and will never do again because i had to use my hero ring to finish.
I can not complete the assassination mission. yet. I tried it solo and after 57 minutes of beating on the mark I had to run to a pod before time ran out. (TK is my only combat skill and that 75% kinetic and heavy armor really slowed me down).
I tried it with a group of 4. me, another vette player and two first timers. The first timers started attacking and killing things almost immediately despite my repeated requests for them to stop. the borked my agro so much I and the other veteran player both died.
Can I get some advice about how to take on this guy solo as a TK. or do I need to wait for the razor knucklers to come out?

I came up with a theoretical stratgy to solo the assassination mish some months ago, and although I have yet to try it, I see no reason why this wouldn't work
First get Smuggler Feign Death, then get a high powered DOT weap, (see where I am going with this? hehe)
get to the guy you have to assassinate, hit him with the DOT, feign, rinse, repeat.... then when his HAM is down to 1 point 1 hit him....... or even if you could just get his HAM low enough to be managable
Anyways I am sure there are a LOT of other ways to solo the assassination mish, and some are probably even easier, but this is the way I have devised, and one day I will test it out heh

Is there a trick to getting thru the SBDs in the destroy mission? We all have to do a mad rush to the controls and all of us die at some point. I did hear someone who was able to walk thru and set the fuel and walk out, but he didn't tell me how to do that.
We walk, have synthsteak, unequip weapons and the almost one sot us all. Any help would be great. Thanks

Awesome guide.
Got 6 badges using this guide!
fastest times:
Rescue 13 mins
Destroy 20 mins
one thing on the assasination, On the Neutral assasination mission, we killed the 250k ham NPC and did not complete the mission.. we then killed the 150k ham NPC that was with him, and completed the mission... SO I dont know if you have to kill both, or if on the neutral mission it might NOT be the 250k ham NPC.
anyone else know about this?
You only have to kill the 150k ham guy.
You just killed the wrong one first.
Anyway, congrats on doing it!!
That's one was tough!!

Do you have to be that certain faction to do the corvettes? Neutral to do neutral, reb to do reb corvette, etc.. ???
