Anyone else having problems finishing off the the imps after killing Major Kroger?!
I jump to Endor, go to the waypoints and before I can kill them all I fail because they jump out.
Is this mission supposed to be finished by a group?!
Tried it several times with an X-wing ( 2 Blasters with max. damage of 2k, one Ion with max 1,5 k), but there is no way to kill them all in time since the patch a week ago (before that I killed them quite easy but got killed from some tier 5 on the way to support magenta squad).
Sometimes I place several hits reducing shield down to 25% and after that nothing more, I can really look at the target ans see that with every hit the shield raises up again.
Switchin target sometimes help, but it is really nerving to unload a full capacitor on a ship and not to be able to destroy it.
Now I switched back to my Y-wing longprobe because of more mass. Tried with two proton mark II launchers, a disruptor at 2k and an ion cannon at 2k. Again, I am not able to kill them in time.
They sometimes so eradical that it is impossible to hit them.
Also thought it might be lag, but I get a 80ms ping and no lost packets.
Any help anyone?!
I really would try to start with tier 4, been doing this mission for over a week now, gets boring....

hmmm...the problem with solo playing is, you are in no guild and don't have friends 
If I had not managed to kill that group of ties on my own a week ago without any problems, I wouldn't be whining now. Can't remember how loong it took me then, but must have been over 40 mins for 8 ties.
Now the mission fails after about 15 minutes.
Okey, in a group I may be able to finish them off with in 5 minutes, but the point is, it should also be possible solo.
And another point is, I can not understand, why the shield does not get lower when I hit them.
One Imp Mark 2 blaser makes 2,1k damage with 0.78 efficiency against shield and armor.
Three hits from the front and the shield goes down to 30 percent.
Several hits from above or behind afterwards seem to make no difference, except some 1-2 percent if I am lucky.
Sometimes I manage to follow a tie and hit him for a few minutes from above with every shot a hit and still will not be able to destroy it.
When I switched back to Y-wing I thought the missiles would be a great help, but they make almost no difference at all (except once, when the fourth missile destroyed the tie and I still do not know why, shield was at 90%)
ermmh...maybe I am doing really something terrible stupid, but I really would appreciate if somebody could tell me what
