missles worked fine for me in beta. - so bring bombers. a single Y-Wing with 2 mark 3 protons has enough missles to take out the entire corvette. just buy him time to get his missles off.
btw, you dont have to go through their shields or armor - you can (and must) attack the components directly.
so just snipe off the turrets (some awings that distract the fire are handy), shields, engines and finally the bridge.

You need xp to train the tier 4 boxes, and do a mission to gate the training.

You have to do the quests in tier 4 AND grind out the 1 mill per box.
The Imperial Ace mission is a hell of alot easier than the rebel. Killing an Imperial Gunboat is not as simple as a Rebel gunboat since rebel gunboats have no rear turret and you can just get behind them and shoot them down. Also NPC TIE fighters are an order of magnitude more troublesome than Alliance fighters. I can shoot down X-Wings and B-Wings all day long. But 2 TIE Aggressors cankill you easilywith that insanely accurate turret.
The hard part for us has been killing off the two Imperial gunships and still kill the vette in time. We tried it with 6 people today and got close before the vette hypered out. It really seems like this is just a zerg operation. We just need to get a bunch of people and throw ourselves it.
We're going to try again tomorrow with more people and hopefully then I can come back and tell you I'm the first Master Privateer on Chilastra.

The vette's not too incredibly hard, if you know what you're doing. You just need to take out everything in a specific order. Fighters go first, they will trail behind the vette and gunboats if you get them to agro you. Then the gunboats go down. Usualy one will fly in the blind spot of the corvette. Then after those, you kill the vette. Shields, then weapons, then the rest.
Bah, the game is almostperfect in terms of difficulty right now. A few ships need to be fixed, like the Dark Eclipse in Dathomir, and perhaps the Rebel gunboats, but it's good that this game is challenging... but pvp needs a 75% reduction like on the ground, 2 shot kills for everyone just isn't entertaining, :-P.

Hmm im going to be nice,
about 15 people to do this mission? Heck i dont have that many friends in this game,well it really does look like i will never see master Freelancer Pilot 
and the 7mill xp really dont count? you know im really starting to begin why i even got JTL is it me or are they trying to get rid of people? I wont leave the ground game but i just might put my ship away forever. God i wish i owned this game and the company and its servers,there is so many things i would change. 
And this forced grouping garbage is getting out of hand id rather shoot stuff then wait a few hours get a group then do the mission and possably have some leave on ya. No its just not worth the time or aggrivation,man i thought when ya play a game your suppose to have fun not pull your hair out
I will not do PvP as this mission will require me to pick a side and go thru a pvp zone. Im neutral for a reason.
