Just finished the new storyline missions for dathomir and decided to just run some destroy duty missions and was pleasantly surprised to see tier 3 Nova's coming in with B-wing escorts. Was a surprise and a nice change from just constant fighters all the time. More missions like this please. Kudos to the devs for adding a little more variety.

those were good missions. i'd like to see more novas and decimators "patrolling" the sectors, and i'd like to see YT1300s flying in towards starports like they were on a cargo delivery.

Hmm I will have to go try these. The 'story' missions for full repairs at Dath sttion were pretty unspactacular, both in story and mission content.
Gunboats in missions would be awsome to have more ofpost-master. I posted elsewhere about how I went back last night nearly two months after mastering storm squad and did the tier 4 exit mission that I was able to skip. 3 gunboats and full escort were a blast to solo as a master.
Do you remember which of the duty missions gave you these gunboats?

Agreed the story missions were pretty boring.
I believe there was a destroy mission and an escort mission, the destroy mission drops several waves of rebel fighters at you, tier 3, then when you finish one set and are sent to another waypoint, a tier 3 nova pops in and then a tier 3 nova and a T-3 Bwing, then the nova again and a 2 teir 3 b-wings. Was just really cool to have ships other than fighters popping in.

I did the 'destroy black sun' mission last night and didn't get one single gunboat. Fortunately, there was a tier 4 YT that kept popping up and that darksomething tier 5 hutt style gunboat to keep my desires satisfied. Also found 3 hidden dagers gunboats, imperial style with 7 guns, out around the other hidden daggers.
This mission did send me back and forth across the sector several times, but didn't seeem that long, nor did it ever give me a gunship as part of the mission, i.e.; with brackets.
Guess I will do the escort mission again now and see if that is any more interesting.
I had already done all the missions that dath station offered before this new mission patch, so the only new thing on the menu for me was the story mission for full repairs. Wonder if somehow I am not getting the new destroy mission...?

Hmm, I'll have to do these missions again and figure out which ones had the Tier 3 Nova's. I did the escort missions for a few hours thinking it was the story driven missions so mabye I'm confusing those missions with the destroy missions. Either way tier 3 nova's pop up on every other wave and it's fun to see something other than just fighters popping in.
