Thread: Corsec tier 2 mission destroy the spice transport

I'm supposed to destroy the spice transport in Dantooine.

The problem is when I jump into system the spice transport is 6k away (tried all hyper points and 6k is as close as it gets).

I can get to the transport, but as soon as I land one or two shots it hyperspaces and the mission fails.


I tried with the fastest engine I can find, and I tried for comparison from a different hyperspace point (14k away) and no matter how fast I get to it, or how long I take to get there every time as soon as I engage it, it hyperspaces.

I can load up my Kimagola with 3 heavy blasters but I still can't do any real damage before it jumps.


What's the deal? How am I supposed to do the mission if I can't even touch the target before it hyperspaces?


Seriously I get at most two weapon impacts on it's shields before it hypers away, every time no matter how fast I get to it.

/bump because I have exactly the same problem with this mission.

Any ideas anyone?

1st attempt... I got within firing range and it Hyperspaced away
2nd attempt... 4000m away and it Hyperspaced away
3rd attempt... Boosted all the way, got it's shields to 23% and it Hyperspaced away
4th attempt... I got about 5 shots off and it Hyperspaced away
5th attempt... I took a friend to help me, I got 2 shots off and it Hyperspaced away
6th attempt... My friend waited for me at the last known sighting, I got 3 shots off and it Hyperspaced away
7th attempt... I got 3000m from the ship when it Hyperspaced away
8th attempt... I got it's shields down to 18%, then it Hyperspaced away

(and I'm using 3 big grouped weapons all at once)

Try hitting [ and target it's engines hard to hyper without it.

I've tried targetting the reactor and the engine on separate attacks. I cant do enough damage before it launches, that's if I even get close to it. I have fast engines and all 3 weapons do minimum damage of 1000+.

Hmmm that sounds hard. Have you tried any Concussion Missles to take the shields down fast and then target engine? I am not familiar with what you can equip on your ship.

Check your weapons damage output and effectivness against shields and armor. It sounds like you may need better weapons to take down the shields quicker.


You can travel to another planet then hyper to one of the system hyperpoints to be closer to the target.

Lock onto the target as soon as your in the system and target the engines.

Be ready to slow down and mach target speed when your are in weapons range so you don't overshoot the target.


Hope that helps.

Well, I finally got it ....


First I dumped one of my heavy blasters (Khimagola)


I went with 2 heavy blasters and one spacebomb launcher.


as soon as I got in range I fired the spacebomb first, then subtargeted reactor and started in with guns ....


The spacebomb was one of my own crafted ones .. 8k max dmg it did enough damage for me to nuke it's reactor before it jumped.


.... still, I think I more got lucky than anything.


After that it's smooth sailing to tier 4 ... there is a gunboat at mission 3 that jumps right on top of you, but after spending a week trying to pass storm squadron tier 3 missions this one was no problem with 3 heavy guns ... try taking down 2 Nova's with a single gun.
