Which corvette are you killing? The Imperial Star Ravager or the Rebel Corvette? MAJOR strategic differences in the two.

If you are doing the Imp Ace mission you can do it alone, it just takes patience and some good flying Callin BS2 on the vette, with turret 5 targeted (don't know if this makes a difference but it is how I did it both times I did it solo) then go after the snub fighters. By the time you are done killing all the fighters the vette will have taken some damage, the npcs seem to go for weapons first. First order of business is turret 5, once this is gone the vette is blind on the lower half. Keep an eye on the gunboats, but they are not much of threat, they can not fire below. Oncve you have turret 5 gone do long slow approaches from the front of the vette, targeting the shield generators. Once both of them are gone hit the reactor, followed by the engine, then the bridge. Viola, master 46000 xp and 100 fp (if you're overt)!

Don't have any advice for taking down the imperial vette other than bring lots of friends!

Good luck

The Imp Vette:

Minimum of 6 pilots (I've never failed with this many but never used less)

2 master pilots (in a B-Wing, Kray, Rihk or Firespray)

Each of the two masters takes a Wing of at least 2 pilots.

First order of business TIE Agressors. Target their weapon and kill them as fast as possible. Once these are done the rest of the fighters go quickly. This phase must be done as fast as possible.

2nd comes the Gunboat directly behind the Corvette. Target weapon 2 and get rid of it. This creates a blind spot on the tail of it. Move in close so no other weapons can reach you and finish the job. The next Gunboat moves to directly behind the vette. Lather rinse repeat.

Break off into your wings. Wing 1 has the following order of operations: Shield Generator 1, Weapons, Bridge. Wing 2: Shield Generator 2, Engine, Reactor, Bridge.

Pilots will die during this phase, esp. during the generator sweep, if done properly the shield generators should only take 1 pass. With squadron one keeping the weapons busy the engines and reactor are cake. Before you blow the bridge make sure everyone who needs credit for the mission are within 2k of the vette then blow the bridge.

*NOTE that each physical component MUST be targeted and directly hit.*

It helps to have 1 Squadron Commander who can think on their feet to tweak the plan as necessary.

They both work for any mission requiring you to kill the Rebel Vette (Imp missions, RSF, or CorSec) or my way for the Star Ravager (Rebel missions, Smugglers Alliance, or CorSec).

master pilots aren't too hard to come by. Check Cnet starport... it takes about 20 minutes of organization time. And masters aren't mandatory but they sure do help.

Here is an excellent guide
