Is there any gunboat walk troughs our there?
Any gunboat that has 3 or more turrets spell instant death for me, simply because I don’t know how to deal with them.
Any help in this area would be most appreciated.
Thx.

Well if its moving... tough luck... I recommend Droid commands and stunt to shield
But if its static sit at 550m out and blast it to pieces

I use all the available Droid Commands and 'luck' has nothing to do with it. It's 'techinque" , I've seen players solo the Master/Ace Corvette Mission, which has 2 Tier 5 Gunboats with 7 turrets each, and the Corvette has 2 shields and 7 turrets.
I was looking for some insight onthe Gunboat strategy.

Angle of Attack has alot to do with gunboats. Learn their blindspots, try to utilize them as much as possible.
I'd disagree that its purely technique though, components and droid programs play a large part in allowing you to pull those techniques off without getting burned.
Meaning if you trying to joust gunboats, you need an engine and shield strong enough to out run them, and survive a strafing run.
Static, "Rail" gunboats shouldn't be giving you a problem. An opponent that doesn't react to getting shot at usually doesn't last too long.

Hmm. If you're good enough you can fly inside of them and shoot towards the front and take em out like that, I do it all the time, even the tier 5's. But I cant quite solo the Corvette yet, im only using a JSF, but I can get both shields down, and take out the number5 turrent before being taken out.
