Everyone is soloing em and i wanna know whats the way to do it.
I hear the ISD has blind spots I don't know of so I wanna know.
How is i possible to even attack the reb station? I mean come on the thing has turrets where its defended like a top-secret lab or something.
Go in to hit one area I get hit by at least 2 turrets.
And for the ISD i see no guns on the botton yet i still get hit? What the hell?
Ok what the hell is up with 1-staring me for asking some questions? Is asking somehow offensive?

if your using an A wing, simply fly in, fire at shields, take those out, go underneath it, hit engines from below, then reactors are hit and run like shields. the Real time consuming part is the hull. You can try and fly at it and shoot, but it really is hard to do that. If your not looking to get a high time, take out that Novas heavy mass, and 3 ordnance launchers, hide under the ISDs tower, and lock on your torps to the hull, and fire through the tower. havent tried taking the FS yet, but i want 50k credit chips

make passes on the shields, for the engine just fly right up inside it and it cant shoot you, make passes on reactor, and then park right below the bridge, creep forward and you will find a spot where you can hit the bridge and it cant shoot back.

Freedom Station soloing would probably involve some sort of suicide runs at one point. The bridge has about 4X-5X as much armour as the other components.
Its quite possible to take out the two sheilds and reactor in one run each with powerful blasters, but using blasters expect every component attack to be a suicide run. Space bombs might help alot. And the bridge has alot more armour then the sheilds and other parts. So expect that to kill you at least once even with space bombs.
The solution to freedom station is to make alot of prestige you can lose. But click the link in my sig to see a picture of it going up in smoke.

Use blind spots. Takes about 3-4 mins.

The Imperial boffins don't get enough credit 
.
Those sneaky little fiddlers have started pyschological warfare with Alliance Troops by only leaving 15,000 credits floating around in the ISDs money-banks!
The best way to find out how to do the ISD is to simply get out there and start trying it all out. Make runs on the shield generators from behind in an A-wing, and figure out how far you have to retreat to be out of attack range. You will probably die a few times before you get the hang of it, so save up some prestige .
The engines are ridiculously easy, just fly straight into them from behind and keep blasting.
I myself couldn't find the reactor, if anyone can post a screenshot or a detailed explanation that would be very helpful.
The bridge has no blindspot at first, so take out some of the guns underneath it to create one. Then fly in and start attacking it from Here. (Sorry about the messed up HUD, I'm just too lazy to fix it
.
But all this is definetly not worth it - I've heard theres a way to get the Freedom station to attack anyone, so if you're going after the ISD because you're a Rebel your time will be better spent learning how to get F-Station to attack you and take it out.
I hope the Developers fix the Star Destroyer to give similar rewards to the Station, but knowing them they'll just 'nerf' the Station to give the same ridiculously small rewards as the ISD.
On the plus side attacking the ISD can get you into a lot of PvP fights

duney? i havent had much experience with freelance ships (no gunners 
) so i wouldnt know how good they are. Try and get the fast craft one, Icyxxwarrajfakljfla;wejf;a, or whatever.
