Privateer xp is very easy i find being that nothing agros you in kessel. You can blow away one tie advanced while all his buddies watch and do nothing.

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 favorite technique using this ship is to pull up behind a non agro tie agressor, and get real close so hes perfectly in my sights. Then vaporise him in about a 3 second burst. Easy 10k xp.

How do you go about staggering your refire rates? This would help WONDERS on my Tier 4 mission 2 smuggler's alliance mission when I get 3 aggressors thrown at me. DAMN THOSE TURRETS!

DAMN my &^%*#^& turretts.

You just need to find / buy weapons with spaced out refire rates.

Yeah you just buy or loot weapons with the apropriate refire rate. I've never seen a loot gun below .300, but any good shipwright will be able to make you a quickshot blaster thats around .260.

I know the mission you're talking about, it was a walk in the park with this setup.

My stupid Advanced has only 65K chassis.

Yes, but your advanced handles like a Ferarri. The Rhikyrk handles like a Kenworth. And is just as big as one compared to the other ships. I was with two b-wings yesterday, they look so tiny next to it. It looked like you could strap them to the front wings on the Rhixyrk as acessories.

Oh and dont forget you get the agressor that moves better and has a turret. As well as the Opressor, that also moves better and has only 20k mass less, exactly as much as the extra gun slot its missing. I use my Opressor in the same fashion as Rhixyrk and its very nice.

all i can say is Tier 1-3 was so easy it wasn't even funny... and now i get to Tier 4.... all i can say is wow... yes i get a lot of 7 vs 1 on the smugglers missions, and it major sux b/c i end up mostly dead, and huge damage on my ship. i usually take the black sun kill missions , but my ship also ends up pretty fried, although i don't die. but man... i gotta say the grind is pretty hard, but conversely it has put the excitement back into the space flight sim experience.......... and a final hint to everyone aim at reactors is a BIIIG help instead of going for the outright kill....

I never died once till I reached the Tier 4 Missions. I find the grind not too bad as you get lots of loot and you can take groups of 3 Tier 4 ships. But the Missions are insane. First 1 as a Rebel you have to keep Blacksun busy for 5 minutes. First wave was 3 ships followed shortly by 6 and I think there was a 3rd 6 ship wave. If you get by that then you have to assist a battle fleet that don't help you much and tons of enemy ships around. The first mission was the only mission I had to group for as its nuts. I expect the other Tier 4 missions to be worse.
