Ok, important tips:
In any mission where masses of enemies spawn non stop just diable the ships by targeting the reactors or engines. The server can never launch more then 2 waves at you and disabled ships still count as part of a wave (although they will blow up eventually). This will greatly increase the time you have to recuperate between waves.
About the tier 3 gunboat:
It can be soloed but you need the right equipment and stratagy. First use a tie bomber (sorry but that tie interceptor won't cut it). Outfit it with a very strong shield, forward armor, 2 blasters and1 space bomb (2 if you have a good enough reactor). Space bombs do 5k-9k damage and have 0.8 penetration to both shields and hull but weight 40k mass (ouch!). When the gunboat appears go straight for it and use the flight computer special to increase your weapon damage and the special to increase your weapon recharge rate. Fire your blasters non stop and fire the space bombs as soon as you can. The ship will blow up in less then 5 seconds.
If you can bring a friend to launch a bomber strike then the ship won't fire at you right away and you'll be able to destroy it without a scratch (whenI tried it solo I lost my frontal shield and armor but survived). The X-wings are piece of cake after that. They KEY is really use to use a tie bomber.
Otherwise you'll need to call someone that's higher leveled then you to take care of it (a bomber strike 2 would probably take out the ship on it's own).
