I started the second mission for imperial pilot using the starter TIE where you have to kill like 3 or 5 raiders and it takes way too long to kill them...like i'll be shotting one for 10min and another will come by and take it out in 3 or 4 hits and i'm not getting xp i don't think...do i already need a a new ship and do i just kill any random raider ships till it says mission complete?

thanks
