im 1/1/1/1 rebel and the duty missions are too hard for me (in lok), I have the best equipment I can use/afford on my Y-wing but It is taking me several days to fill one box! I only get 10k after getting a headache of spinning in circles trying to hit a tier 2 TIE for 5 minutes. I tried hunting the hutt kimogilas but im too weak to. Dieing in mere seconds. Is there anything SLOW and tier 2 that would give good xp? I often find some slow corsair ships but whenI shoot them I get some beeping sound and no damage is done.

Get a Z95 and outfit it. Trust me, until you get the 2nd component box, that's your best bet. In beta, even after I got 1211 rebel pilot, I still kept my Z95 and loaded it with lvl 5 components. I had one mean Z95.

No offense, but this kinda sounds like phishing post. Telling everyone how great the exps are out in Kressel (and it is) and then hanging out their with your gank squad waiting for them to come running in. Sorry, but I won't bite. Then again, I won't master pilot either because they put the master missions out there. In fact, I really haven't worked much on pilot skill. Probably just make tier 2 or 3 and stop. It just isn't worth my time till they do something about the master missions being in a free-for-all pvp zone.

That's probably not what the thread poster is doing but I certainly wouldn't put it past alot of the players that have just migrated their gank squads into space.

I wish you knew me.

Just last night, I was leveling in Kessel when I noticed a Corvette and players swarming around it. I took off in the other direction, one because I didn't want to get attacked and hyper all over the galaxy to get repaired and go back to the deep space station to get back in start leveling again, and two because the mission is hard, and I wantthose people to remember that I left them alone to do their mission when I'm trying to do mine.

That's the way I operate. Kindness given is kindness returned. I don't have much money in game. I have never seen over 7 million credits, and that for wasn't very long. Yet I always have everything I need because of all that I've given without expectation of return.

I wish you knew me.

Nice post , I am wondering where I should go for good XP at 1-1-1-1 Imperial ? Any findings or suggestions?

The duty missions are actually useful during this phase. In one complete duty mission, I got 53k xp, and it takes 60k xp to fill a box as opposed to 1 million xp to fill a tier 4 box.

I go to the Canyon in Lok. The corsair give 1200xp - 1400xp per kill and are pretty easy (unless you have 3 or 4 on you). I do about 60k xp in less then 1 hour. Duty missions are ok, but the TIEs I had to fight only gave 400xp per kill and as you progress, you have to take on more and more. If your ship isn't great yet, you can find yourself overwhelmed.

I filled one box in an hour doing T4 duty missions. Kessel has furballs where you don't have to usually worry about being shot back at. Duty missions teach you to mix it up when it's seven on one or more.

Now that the Rhixyrk is a 190k mass monster, its gotten even easier. I use all 3 guns on it with a 47 recharge capacitor, two 2500 max, and one 3000 max. What i've done is staggered the the refire rate of the guns in near perfect increments. I use a .260, a.360, and a .420. Waht this does is after the first burst the guns start to go off in sequence creating a constant stream of death. This makes it very easy to take out small fast fighters.

My stupid Advanced has only 65K chassis.

Also good xp following a guild mate who is doing missions at a higher level... Mission ships only target the mission holder, no problems there for lower pilots, and you only need one hit to get full xp off of ships.

A good place to get your xp for your Tier 4 boxes is Kessel. I filled a box in one night. No need to go overt first, just /comm or backslash with the deep spacestation targeted, and you will have the option for Deep Space or Kessel. (Can't go to Deep Space until you have 30k Prestige Points, which you gain after you master, but anyone can go to Kessel. This is true for all factions.)

For Imperials - Go to the Endor system, and look on your map for the "Imperial Claw (Deep Space) Station". TheDurillium Seahyper point is closest.

For Rebels - Go to Dantooine system, and look in your map for the rebel (deep space) station. Don't know the closest hyper point for this one.

For Neutrals - Go to the Dathomir system and look in your map for "Last Nav Station (Deep Space)". The Emperor's Hand hyper point is closest.

Each station will take players to the same Kessel system. You will be able to find other factions in there, but won't be able to kill like-factioned players.

Each kill is worth 8k xp, and each gunboat, if you can manage it, is worth 28k-33k xp.

Have fun!!

P.S. The baddies like to hang around the asteroids and nebulas. Head toward those.

You know to get the 1 million xp you need for one tier4 box, the fastest and easiest way is still to do a tier4 duty mission, you just need to do 1 duty mission till the very end to get that and it takes between 1h15 and 2h depending on your equipment and the kind of ships you got to destroy. (for rebels the fastest is missions where you got to destroy TIE fighters, Kihraz are tougher)

BTW you can go to any tier4 pilot trainer of your faction to get tier4 duty missions, not only your pilot trainer.
