It's the one that starts out by fighting a coupletie interceptors, then capturing the Lambda shuttle, then fight more ties and tie interceptors, then travel to another waypoint fighting off more waves of ties, then doc witha rebel ship.. then fight offanother 4 or 5 waves ofties and tie interceptors.. then travel to another waypoint fighting more tie/tie interceptor waves.. doc with a rebel gunboat.. fight off more tie/tie interceptor waves.. thentravel to another waypoint to defend the gunboat mentioned previously..fight off more tie/tie interceptor waves.. then travel to another waypoint to rendezvous with somthing else.. then here's where it gets fun.. put some Tier 4 pirates along the waypoint path.. then god know what comes after that!!


I mean.. come on!! I cannot believe you expect tier 2 pilots/ships to complete this mission. I'm all for group missions, but I have tried over a dozen times, with mylast group starting off with6 pilots, and I'vefailed them all.Let's get real here... It's one mission, and we're taking on theTie fighter strengthof a freakin Death Star!! Not to mention all the Tier 4 pirates lurking around Dathomir space!


Give me a break!! You're driving me to drink..


Anyone know how to quit a squadron?

wow... you must not be a good pilot... I completed my first 2 Teir 3 missions solo for Imperial Inquisition, only stumbling block I hit with mission 3 is the Nova Courrier Disable and inspect part.

Don't kill the TIEs. Disable them by taking out their engines and they wont die right away. New spawns of TIEs are triggered when the previous group is down to one or two ships, so disable all the ships and let them sit there. Then dock or whatever and move on to the next waypoint. You won't get xp for the kills, but each Tier 3 box is rewarded for completing missions regardless of your xp, so who cares.


Use IFF Scramble when things get hairy, it will save your life. It will also let you have enough free time to dock with a ship (hint, hint)


Get a Droid and use the Shield Buff commands. I find that TIEs usually hit my front shields, so I use the front shield boost and it helps out more than you could know. Be careful noting gets behind you though, as this will weaken your rear shields.


Mission activity is triggered by going to waypoints and notuntil then. If you take damage then go back to the station and repair before you continue.


Make sure you are using a Y-Wing Longprobe or a Regular Y-Wing with a gunner helping you. The Z-95 will be toast on Tier 3. Be sure to throttle down to about 50% on your turns in the Y-Wing or you're dead.


The mission is hard, but it isn't impossible. I solo'd all the Tier 3 missions, and have helped a friend do her Tier 4 missions as a duo.

Thanks for the tips on how to solo the mission, but I don't really think this is how the mission was supposed to be done. In my mind that's a work around for a mission that's obviously poorly designed... and should be changed.

As far as I can tell they will have to mave the tier 4 pirate spawn. It just shouldn't be there. They have updated a couple of missions like this so far, hopefully it will just be a matter of time before they get to this one.
