Happened to me once. Wait until you are between 4k-6k from the rebel space station before you disable the engines. Do this and by the time the vette gets going the vette will reach the hyperspace point before the gunboats have a chance to spawn or really do any damage. Also when disabling the vette leave all guns intact, get behind it disable shields and finally the engine. If you destroy the guns before take over they do respawn but they dont seem as powerful.

Thanks for that Ill see how I get on tonight..

Cheers

The trick to doing the vette for the different ships is quite simple.

1. Disable the 4 escort ships WITHOUT hitting the vette.

2. Fly behind and below the vette and disable gun 5 (you can skip this part if you stay directly behind the engines of the vette)

3. Disable the primary and then secondary shields. Easiest to use missiles from behind the vette.

4. Once the shields are down just follow the vette until you are about 4700-5000m from the space station (rebel or kashyyyk depending on which mission) and then disable the engines.

5. Hang tight until you get the message saying the vette is yours.

6. Escort it the rest of the way. You should only get about 2 waves of fighters and none of them will be gunboats.

The easiest way to do it is to leave gun 5 so you dont get aggro from the vette. Sit behind the engines with /follow and dont shoot a thing till you get to 5500-5000 m from the station. There is no need for the extra aggro as you are behind it. This way there is no mistakes that could be made. Once you hit the above distance then you open fire with your missles on the shields..and eventually just blow up the engines.

If you leave all the guns they will help you out to destroy any incoming fighteres (even gun 5 if they go beneath the beast).
