Hi,
I just bought swg and jtls and have to say I really like it....well to a point:-).
To get to my problem ......basically I am at rebel pilot 2222 and have xp to train another skill ....anyway I after quite a few missions have been posted to a guy a dathomir ....mining outpost. The first mission he sent me on I have to disable a lambda shuttle, then esxort it back under heavy fire ....then I need to go to the rendezvous coordinates with some cargo or something .....the thing is I get near the point of the delivery and my ship is a wreck then bang! Im dead ......the thing is ....the whole reason I grinded xp was to get trained for difficult missions like this...... hell ive failed it 3 times and the stupid trainer wont train me even though I have the xp.....he just keeps sending me out in a bucket of a y-wing longprobe to get blown up! Is there anywhere I could train other than this goon of a npc lol as Its virtually immpossible in the ship I have. To be honest if I had maybe did some of the initial missions quicker I reckon I could have had my x wing and would not be having this hassle. Could anyone tell me if theres away to get my goon trainer to train me .....or even some other npc?? without having to keep doing a mission with tier 3s in a bucket :-)
Thanks
David :-)

I'm in the same boat. Imp, level three mission. I'vebeen stuck on it for a while, but if I could just train, I'd be long past it. I feel your pain.

Disable, disable, disable. I can't stress it enough. Disabling a target means 1) it can't attack you anymore and 2) you can move to the next target quicker.
Also, grab a buddy to be a gunner for you in your y-wing. it helps. Get friends to join you. That helps too.

In answer to your question, no you can not go to another trainer, and 2) yes you do have to complete the 'required' mission to advance.

This is a list of things that are your friends as a rebel pilot.
[ and ] system targeting are your friends.
IFF scramble is your friend. This cannot be stressed enough. It's just a matter of timing.
The emergency shield command is your friend.
These three commands along with shield adjustment programs will insure that you can solo your way to Tier 4. After that, you might need help. Forget imperial and freelance programs, as they aren't really needed. They are probably useful to have though.

Another reason disabling enemy fighters is handy is that it can prevent further waves of fighters coming for you (because you haven't destroyed the current wave, it is however neutralised as far as your concerned!).

I tried this mission - no joke - well over two dozen times before I just gave up and asked for a friend's help. Honestly I don't feel that the Ywing is good...at all... for a mission like this. I also did not have any uber ship parts on it so that may be part of the problem - but either way my friend helped me and I got my xwing - I'm as happy as a rebel pilot can be not that I can make good turns above 30% engine speed........man I hated that Ywing-

Hi folks,
I must initially say thanks for all your responses and helpful advice. A couple of final things I would like to ask is .......How can I get someone to be my gunner in my y-wing longprobe?? ... Also in reference to the iff scramble command .......basically if I use that on the lambda shuttle will that temporarly disable its weapons?? ........ In reference to mission strategy ... I was having problems with the lambda because of its powerful weapons so what im doing is immediately disbaling the weapon then the engine ...... do you think its possible to use iff scramble and take out the engines? rather than the weapon first?.
Im going on swg now and I may try to complete the mission sometime today.Finally does anyone no any good vendors where I can get good weapons,capacitor for y wing longprobe?? I want to improve on what I have ..... I will post my ships build make up that I have at the momment .....also im relatively new so Im looking for possible vendors that will outfit a y wing LP with quality equiptment without overloading mass or energy ....any suggestions on this would be appreciated. I will submit my ship specs in 5 minutes
Thanks
all

I have another starcraft weapon but i can put it in weapon twos slot as the ship doesnt have enough energy ....I would appreciate if anyone could highlight where any improvements can be made as the ship is 99% made from loot ....also at present the qualitys I look for in ship components are ....good armour,hit points and sometimes mass .....if anyone has any ideas as too what other considerations I should be making please feel free to comment. If 4 or 5 people also want to get in a group with me to do this deadly mission in dathomir and we complete it I will definately be in debted to them ...... and I will be there meat shield for a few days hehe :-) ...the ships im fighting on this mission are teir 2s and 3s ...so I would imagine Y-Wing Longprobes would be an absolute minimum for doing it.
Thanks again ..... for all the previous good advice :-)

And DarkDemonKnight .... No problem about being unable to help me :-) ... I understand as we are on different factions.......its a pity ;-) ...... The thing is I started as an imperial .....until a was required to change when I joined a guild :-). Maybe I should not have ....but at the time I was just on SWG and the chance of help from vetern players seemed a good opputunity :-)

Where to start....
upgrade your capacitor, you can easily find many level 2s that have better stats and lower mass than the one you have now, go for some crafted heavy blasters, nevermind if your a bit in the red for energy, it wont matter,upgrade your reactor to a crafted mark 3, i think those are level 5 certs, get more rear HP on your shields and finally get some mark 3 crafted armor. If you are on Lowca, contact Uzop Inzap, I
