Try IFF scramble if too many NPCs are targeting you.
That usually turns all enemies yellow (if not for too long), and they usually pick new targets.
Once you start shooting again a few or all might go back to red, but most of them will stick to their new targets, either the NPCs here to help you or the friends you brought with you as cannon fodder

Thank you for the advise... I will try that next time I can muster up people to even want to do this mission.

Hi there,
Hopefully you have sorted your problem out by now. If not take heart you CAN do it.
OK this is what I did, after being in your exact situtaion! I got an A-wing, loaded it up with good equipment, especially the weapon. I also got a good droid interface, and used reactor overload 3, weapon 3, and engine three. I also got the chip for re-energising your shields from the capacitor (freelance skill I think)
I then went in and as you already may have figured out failed the first part. As already mentioned, no biggie just fly on to your second part. With the speed boost on your a-wing you should outdistance the Imps easily.
Arrive at your waypoint, throttle a bit back on the speed - in order to take tight turns and then just pick off the Imps slowly one at a time. As also mentioned disabling is a good tactic, but at this stage I wanted a challenge so I had one respawn wave. I eventually got the mission success message.
BTW do not neglect your shields and the droid programme cap to shields!! I needed to use this even though I was flying circles around the Imps.
Good luck m8. It can be done
Let me know how it goes?

"How do you get past every single tie fighter aggroing you? My friends have even attacked them while they fire upon me but they ONLY AGRO ME!"
Like I said, I did it solo, so there was nothing else for them to aggro but me.

There is no way you can ignore 20 somthing tie fighters gunning for you at the same time. No Freaking way... still havent tried that FF stragety. Gotta try that but here is my dilema... now that the weekend is gone and i have returned from my vacation I work, and my friends arent online durring the time I can do it. Soooooo.... im screwed with SOEs mission impossible.
Still not giving up though... I will freaking do it until my ship is a floating turd! Then ill grab another ship and do the damn same...

You don't use IFF Transponder scramble? You're at 4 4 4 3 and haven't used it? What have you been doing this whole time?

IFF only works for a few min then they are all on you again. The mission AI seems to lock onto the mission target as its main target. While this mission is tough because of this, I have found an easy way to defeat it (even the first part). Since everything shoots at you, use that to your advantage. Get a really heavy sheild (I used a 2400 f/b, recharge 12with a 40k mass) and put it in a Ywing LP. Then get good engines and reactor. Don't even need weapons. Then get a group of around 5+ players.
Now for the trick. When you go into battle, everyone will agro you. When you are almost dead, throw on emergency shields. You shields will recharge faster then they can damage you. You fly around letting them hit (but maneuver to reduce the damage) and let your friends clean up (since they don't get shot at much). Once the gunboat is destroyed, you can hyper to the next system and leave the ties.
In the next part of the mission, do the same thing. You use emergency shields to stay alive while your buds take out everything.
