This post goes out to every imperial pilot. If you have made it anywhere in Storm Squadren, then you know who this charming fellow is, he's the guy that gives you one impossible mission after another, and for those of yoiu that don't know what i am talking about, refer to my other post Escort the engineer's transport and you'll see what i mean, although i think they fixed it cause i was able to finally pass it after 5 days of atempts. When i finished with this wonderful mission, i was rewarded with a free skill box which was nice, but i still had 200k of pilot xp and couldn't get another box, hmm go figure. Anyways the next mission is eaqually delightfull, Disable and inspect a rebel advanced recon fighter, pretty straight forward mission up to a point. This mission is bad enough that teh recon fighter is protected by 4 tier 3 X-Wings, oh and they are located near a lovely spaw of pirates in tier 4 Z-95's, isn't that special, so after dodging these pirates and taking out the recon's escort, i was able to disable the recon fighter dock with it and get the rebel orders, but was the mission finished, no. A squad of rebels jumps in and youmust take them out too, fun isn't it? After that bit of fun Iget sent to another waypoint where i must also dodge these same pirates just a different group of them, and take out another escort around a rebel freighter, which i have to also disable and dock with. Easy enough right? But it doesn't end there. I must them meet with a command shuttle, which happns to be a beautiful lambada shuttle(drools) and dock with it and transfer my cargo from the rebel ships i docked with. Easy enough right, wrong. I must then follow a stupid waypoint patrol and end up in the same exact spot where i must save a tie Interceptor squadren which has suffered heavy casualties. I have no problem helping out my fellow tie's, but when the mission keeps putting me in the same exact nebulae which is laggy as heck, but this is where this mission get's impossible, and i mean impossible. I meet with the tie squad and shortly thereafter, a LARGE rebel squadren jumsp in of tier 3 X-Wings and A-Wings. But wait, there's more! In that rebel squadren, low and behold there is a nova gunboat, 4 cannons of pure blaster fun surrounded by a contingent of X-Wings and A-Wings. Anyways this fleet of death rips my ship apart in about 3-4 hits. I even invited my buddy who has a kimogilla with 3 level 5 cannons try to take out the nova, and once it was taken out, he himself got taken out in short order, and myself shortly there after. Now this mission fails if all the tie interceptors are killed, not to mention if i'm killed, lol. Anyways that's my story, if anyone else has a simpilar story, please share it with me and hopefully a dev will read it and POSSIBLY fix this mission.


I hope everyone has enjoyed my little story, and if a dev is reading this, HOW IN THE HELL DID YOU EXPECT ONE LONE TIE FIGHTER TO BEAT A NOVA AND AN ENTIRE SQUADREN THAT KILLS YOU IN 3 HITS, EVNE TEAMED UP WE GET KILLED INSTANTLY, PLEASE FIX THIS MISSION OR YOU MAY LOSE A VALUED CUSTOMER.


P.S. If you read my other post on Escorting the Engineer's Transport, i thanks you for fixing that, i just hop the mission after this one won't be as bad, and if it is, i will probably be back on here and will have another story to tell.


Please sign this and help me get a point across,

Thank you

Know the feeling. Absolute pain. Me and this one guy tried for like 20+ minutes trying to find people to help us on our missions, had about 4 guys AFK on the ground meditating their wounds away, only managed to get 1 person in our group, making our group just 3. Some of these missions are just insane... totally insane... I got some good XP, but it took a good few hours to get very far.

I don't play the game yet but maybe you should get more than 2 people to go against a squadron and a captial ship?

I've found that groups of 4-5 work the best for Storm Squadron Tier 3 missions.
I finally managed to finish them.

I can only imagine the nightmares the tier 4 missions are going to be...

The escort the engineers shuttle mission that is endor is hard but doable solo with the right tactics as i almost did it solo 2 nights ago, in my TIE/In, and only got killed as overuse of /eweapons caused my reactor to scram. I was on my way to the last part the meeting with the shuttle and the reactor dying meant i was dead before it got back online


As the boost to the weapons is such that a few hits kill the spawning npcs so you have enough time to recover between the waves.


Did it finally last night in a group of 4as to have a 5 part mission you fail overall if you fail the last part is a bit silly.

If it were only that simple. It's pretty difficult to find groups these days, everyone is out for themselves.

Did you finish his first mission? Don't know the stats of my tie/ln components off the top of my head, but I got owned so many times towards the end of that mission I took a break and am messing around with freelance on tempest and rebel on chilastra. I am going to come back to scyllaand try to better outfit my ship and make another try to push past that mission soon.

Since I've just accepted my first mission from Cpt. Denner, I found this post interesting. I'm curious as to what kind of ship you've put together and are flying for this mission. I'm currently in an TIE/In with 950-1300 dmg disruptors, 900/900 shields and 700/600 armor. I'm a 2-2-2-2 pilot. All Tier 3/4 ships I've encountered thus far have been disappointing. Do they suddenly become challenging?

Thanks for the input.
