Any tips specifically on how to get this quest done? One of my main disadvantages is that I need to protect a Teir 1 shuttle against 3-4 Tier 4s. The transport I am trying to escort can only take 6-8 shots before it explodes, so whats the trick? Do I need to beef up my ship to a point that I can 2-3 shot a Tier 4 scyk? Is this a synch with more than 3 people (because even with a partner of the same skill) it would seem very difficult to pull off, especiall since there is what seems a random roll of whether the fighters and such would break off and attack just you and leave the transport unharmed.


Questions and tips would be great, I know the vette is a drag, and I even know that if I have trouble soloing this part of the quest, I would have no chance in hell of beating the vette portion.

It's stupidly easy since the Corvette doesn't even shoot at you until you hit it first.

1) take out the escorts
2) /follow the Corvette and don't fire on it until you're about 5500m from the Rebel Outpost
3) take out the primary and secondary shields with missiles, then the engines with lasers. Since you're /follow'ing the vette, you're already in the blind spot and won't get hit.
4) fight off whatever reinforcements come along



edit: misread your post. I don't even remember that mission, so I guess it was easy. If you can't do the damage to take out the enemy quickly, you better bring some friends.

Just disable the ships it will cause less of them to spawn and makes the mission a lot easier

Yep best way, i soloed the entirequest using this method as a 4333 pilot

Hmmm...even when I did disable all the ships, and I still would have 5-6 of them still remaining, another wave would pop out and go after it. The worse thing about that strategy is that I have too many red blips to try and seek out. I guess I do need people to do it...or overhaul my whole ship

Also, is weapon, reactor, and Engine overload helpful? Because all I use/have is cap overload and cap to shield shunt.

For the Final vette part you dont really need to kill the gun ships, you can but you dont have too.

I did the heavy X-Wing and Blacksun ship quests on the first vette I killed all except 1 Gunship, on the second vette (blacksun ship) I let the vette defend itself and just took out the fighters, the gunships will only agro you if you fire on them

Well....I still haven't even gotten to that part yet

if you're having trouble with your escorts, try flying about 500-1000m in front of your target...then the enemies should spawn right on top of you and you can engage them before they get close to your shuttle. As soon as you take a shot at one, it should break off its attack and come after you

Its pretty easy i did the follow:

/take out the escorts (don't hit the vette)
/park yourself under the engine and target turret 5
/wait until 6k out and take out the turret, sheilds, and engine. stay under the ship and you will not get hit.
/disable the next couple of waves of fighters (no gunships if you disable)
/pickup your xwing and load it up

No worries....I said it a few times...kinda stopped worrying about it

I try to attack all the ships before destroying any of them when escorting the freighter. That keeps them focused on me. After you get their attention, you have to at least disable them quickly before the next wave appears.

If all else fails, get a friend to just drive off whatever is attacking the freighter while you destroy the fighters.
