Do the quests from the Kashykk Landing station.


Eventualy you will be asked to do some missions form the nearby IMP/Rebel Base. (If you are that faction on the ground, note that you can do the Vette capture misison for a faction and get that reward too, but a Neutral Pilot cant fly it)


After that 1, go back to the NEUTRAL Landing station and talk to them again


Tell them you are "looking for a challenge"


They will give you a mission to recapture a Corvette,


You disable the Vette, it flips, You escort it back to that station


You will face 3 waves of fighters and starting at wave 4 they bring Gunboats.


When the Vette hypers out, go back and talk to the station... Vaskai Fighter rewarded.



Tips:


Do NOT destroy the Vette Weapons, They will be needed durring the trip back... Just Shields, then Engines.....


Wait to disable the Vette, The closer it is to it's Jump point, the fewer waves of attackers you will have to face.


Corvettes have a "Blind Spot" Directly Aft behind the engines.





- When Sony and Lucas set out, we said, 'How can we do this and not make another EQ?' We didn't want it to be all about Luke, or combat, or lock our players into a class.So we created a system that would allow players to switch professions during the game, and there would be a lot of gameplay around making that change.If you want to go from architect to scout we've created a system to make that happen."

The vaksai is just like a Khiraxk except the wings are slightly different. It has 150k mass, and allows me to fit a L10 engine, L10 gun, L8 shield, and whatever else I need. It is a rockin little ship, and 150k mass is more than enough, since there's only on hardpoint and a missile slot. This is the best drag racer out there, since its the largest 1.0 speed chassis. Naboo to Rori and back in under 2 and a half minutes.



PS 45min nefarious? you need a better clock.

It looks like the Tier 2 Black Sun, the version 1 varient but with 150k mass. It is a tough little ship and with top of the line equipment I come very close to filling it, and it devistates in battle, fast and powerful.


I only had one wave of ships after converting the vette, I just followed it in for about 45 mins before it got to the station.

Well, can I get some tips on how to disable the vette without getting my head blown off? The moment I fired on it, it disabled me and left me sitting there.


Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Taking out this corvette is a lot like the one for the Master mission. You can read guides on that with lots of great detail, but here are the basics.


Learn top from bottom- when looking at the midsection of the corvette, the bottom is the side with the little lumps.


Take out weapon 5- this is the only gun on the bottom


Stay underneath the corvette- watch for sudden turns, but once weapon 5 is gone, the entire underside is safe.


Take out the shield generators, then save the engine until you are ready. It's possible to do all this with blaster fire, but I often find the positioning tricky on the shields and simply use missiles to save myself the hassle.
