I'm at the storm squadron mission, the one where you have to talk to teh technician well when i do the mission and i'm in space, i go to the YT-1300 that i ahve to destroy it, and its tier 2 but when its shield are down to liek 12% all teh sudden i just stop my engine is bust and my wepaons are gone. I only got shot by it and the other fighters like 3-4 times. And is there a blind spot where i can get so i dont get hit by those suposedly nuclear cannons, that take me out in 2 hits.

The Standard strategy that Sanctuary Naval Squadron uses is the "disable and scatter", as I call it.
What you do is fly to the underside of the ship, about 800-700m out... then from the bottom fly in with barrels blazing... TARGET THE REACTOR!!! (If you have missiles or spacebombs, use them on the reactor)
Last time I checked there was no gun on the belly of the YT-1300, so the reactor will go down in short order. Be careful though, cause the moment you open up on it, it will try to flip so the top gun can get a shot at you... when that starts to happen BACK off about 1km, reorient yourself to its belly and attack again. The idea behind taking out the reactor is so it will not jump out on you... and it will be a sitting duck.
Of course by now those fighters should be all over you... don't worry too much about them... once the Reactor on the YT-1300 "Kimogila's Claw" is down, take out the top gun, then proceed to blow up the ship. after the ship has been destroyed those fighters are easy pickings... they're only X-Wings after all... not like they're top of the line ships... lol
Good luck pilot...
After you done killing the YT-1300, remember this strategy... you'll need it on rebel gunboats down the road.
BTW, this mission goes a lot smoother if you have at least one dedicated wingman.

Target the turret, think it's weap1, first is my advice. Agree with the rest.

I only wish that if the reactor on an enemy ship goes down that that turrets lose power, player or not. I know that's not the case, but what's one to do other than protest. TK-8824's advice is to go for the weapons first
