Yep I got this mission, I figured that on all previous missions 3 people were enough to complete so we all head to Dantooine and start doing our thing.... First WP we killl fighter everyone is happy, then we get a WP to major battle. Well as usual we fly to the WP some corsec ships appear everyting is fine, than around 10-15 TIER4 fighters and Gun Boats appear from no where and start pounding on our b*tts. So we all fly in different directions and me having the biggest/fastest ships gets 5 fighters on my tail... I ofcourse try to booster away with /ethrust , when around 3/4 torpedoes take down my 2k shields... Armor goes down next and pretty fast... By this time all of my wingmates are destroyed and I watch my "Rihkhyrk" being teared apart by enemie ships like a wounded tiger is being attacked by jackals.... I lost my engine, one of my weapons, but second one was still working and my trusty 50.9 recharge rate capacitor was working its guts out to provide some additional power..... I kept shooting in everything that passed in front of me but it was too late.. With powerfull final attack they finally destroyed me...
That is a story, any suggestions on tactics and how many people I should take on next attempt. It seemed that this mission is just crazy, I had Corsec support ships there but we were outnumbered 1 to 3 . If anyone has some valuable advice or can help with this mission on Chilli plz post your ideas.

1.) Don´t use Rhyxirk, exept if you use Engine overcharge in combo with Reactor Overcharge, then it get's manouverable. Use the Dunlizard instead. No this is not a joke! The Ixi has only a tiny bit more mass, but turns slower then the duny... and duny takes same complement of weapons!
2.) If there is a Gunship -> Take it out first, quick and swift! Best shoot guns 4, 5 and 6 off of it, afterwards it wont be shooting to it´s rear anymore and you can take it down easy.
3.) Have at least 2 or 3 friend with you. there´s some who (claim that they)soloed, but that is the minority. Your friends should preferably stick with fighter crafts as well... no bombers (those are best used for Capital Ships).
4.) If you were on chimaera i´d help u myself
Too bad Ur not on Chimaera.
Hope that helps ya m8!

Yep thanks for advices... But small ship won't work for me. 8( I got 190k mass and I am loaded. Everything is heaviest and most powerfull I looted or bought. And my engine speed is 820 on Rihk in normal flight with booster I get 1060. So i am pretty fast... Dunelizard would die with my equipment 8(... my gun is 38k mass 8) same can be said of the rest of equipment 8(... And worst thing that there are 3 gun boats attacking, so we had no chance of attacking one without getting hit from other two... On last attempt I had interfactional crew with TIE Advanced/X-wing/Rihk so all fighters.

uhm... you do know that you fly for the rebllion in that mission right? So do yourself the favor of not taking IMPS with ya
They must've (by accident im sure) hit the Gunships... cuz as far as i know there's not 3 gunships in this mission. hence you got some random spawn on u. wich would not have attacked you if no one had shot it 
Happened to me also

Hmm, strange... I am sure this were the right ships... They were Hidden Dagger ships, not imperial. I might be wrong about amount of Gunboats but I did saw them attacking my Corsec Ships. I got to do mission again and see, maybe I am wrong .
