Its a space quest remember? Launch, and /targ rebel that should give you a bead on the Rebel outpost. If not, then fly toward Avatar and keep trying the /targ eventually you'll see it.
Thanks for the reply, looks im gonna need some help on theese, I don't think I can take down a Corvette alone
You can - draw fighters away, take them out. Fly in directly behind corvettes engines, target gun 5, destroy it - making sure to stay out of the way of the other guns. Target and destroy primary shield. Target and destroy secondary shield. Wait until the vette is ~5000km away from the station then disable engines (this means the gunboats shouldn't spawn) - don't leave too long though or the vette will hyper away.
Job done.
ok, despite my post above I just tried it and no matter what I do the shield never drops below 100% (not talking about the priamry and secondary shield generators).
I have tried sitting directly behind the engine and trying to take out gun 5 aswell (which usually results in a quick death
) but no matter how many times I hit the damn thing the shields never drop.
Bug or am I being stupid??

Your post above didn't mention that for the method described to work, it is necessary to use missiles to destroy the components. If you're using blasters you can't just bang away at the ship like you can with everything else, your bolts need to actually hit the component you're targetting (For the shield generators this means being in front of the Corvette). You can ignore the shield value displayed for the ship, you only need to worry about the condition of the ship system you intend to destroy.
