I've been a 4/4/4/4 Rebel Pilot now for two weeks, I've finished the 30 fighter mission, all I have to do is blow up the Corvette now to become an Ace. I've already done this once when I Aced Privateer, but that was back when there were still people interested inspace.
Now it seems as if everyone in the galaxy is either too busy to help me, orI geta group and the thing doesn't show up,or they simply can't help because they're with the other faction. I know what some people will surely say, that this mission is supposed to be hard, blah blah blah... yes, it is, but why must this thing be on a random time table?
I don't want this mission removed from the requirements to Ace (although I do think that after you've done it once, if you decide to try another Pilot profession it should be considered), but could we at least get it wherethe thingspawns when someone with the mission enters Kessel? I've lost twogroups so far due to flying around Kessel for an hour and people got bored and left... I've wasteda lot oftime trying to find this thing in the last two weeks, if it would just show up there wouldn't be as much of a problem.
Is there any way that I have missed to predict when the Corvette is going to show up?

Hi, I know the pain. Having helped many with this mission I know how frustraing it can be.
The corvette spawns and exits at fixed points. As for timing, well if the vette is unmolested, it will show up 2 hours later, keeping in mind it can take I think 30 mins approx to cross the sector.
So it it's leaving the sector make an appointment to come back in around 1 hour 30mins. When I know someone is queing up for the vette mission I'll keep dipping into Kessel to geteyeball the target so I can get a fix on it's next spawn time.
The spawn time gets screwed up if the vette is destroyed leaving the escorts to fly away, if there are two gunboats circling each other at the exit point then you know someone came by to bag the vette. These will need to die to reset the clock on the spawn. Once you have dealt with the figthter escortsit's possible to sit at a good distance and clip the gunboats as the hit-boxcomes into range of your guns.
I've had to do this numerous times. Although the time from destroying the escorts to the respawn is unclear, last time it took40 mins for them to respawn after killing the escorts.
After a server reset, the vette shows up 20mins past on my server.
Hope that was of some help.

Not sure if its coincidence or not but we waited for eternity for a vette to spawn this past week for a friends master badge mission and eventually i went to deepspace and popped the stardestroyer to see if had anything to do with spawn times of the vetteand low and behold the vette spawned seconds later. Just food for thought.

I dont see why they dont make it like deep space. theres aways corvettes in deep space. How hard would it be to set it to where it would respawn as soon as it leaves or gets destroyed? Whats the logic behind making people wait for hours?

Finding a group interested in space nowadays is pretty tough. After a couple days of frustration as 4444 pilot i just went and solo'd it. There's plenty of info on these forums tell ing you how.

its not random. 1 hour 20 mins is the time between spawns... but gotta make sure the trailing gun boats weere destroyed first to. when we go after the vette, first spot we check is the out point when we get into kessel. that is if it isn't in sight yet. then we go over to the in point and kill things and wait.. usually doesn't take that long when you keep busy. and when you're overt like me 
you can pass the time by getting fp and hunting those scared running imps on my server. lol
