The mission #2 needs to be nerfed. There is no ship/weapon combo that stands a chance in that mission. Either you have a crap load of weapon power but are slower then a Hutt on a hot day or your super fast and have to throw rocks out the window. Does not matter what you have, when 10 ships jump you, you die. Dont know what the point of it all is anymore...

Boost right into the middle of them. In these situations sometimes I rarely even target one. Shoot at targets of oppurtunity, if you do pick a target and he stop turning 180 and pick a new target. It is possible, many many people have done it solo many many times. Slow down take a deep breath. Remember if your target is moving in a straight line so are you. Always always keep turning. The AI does miss occasionaly. If you use my furball appraoch you will eventually whittle them all down and they will suddenly just start blowing up. Also it takes less time to disable than it does to destroy.

I just have finished last nigth that mission (second TIER3 Corsec mission) with my dunelizard and a friend.


Just have to disable the civilian trasnport and dock on it. Then destroy some waves of black sun pirates.


Then go to pick the weapons from one ship and then here comes the hard part of the mission.


I just ignore the waves of the 3 black sun until i have delivered the weapons to the Corsec interceptor, while my friend destoyed all of them, then I joined him and destroyed all the waves that came for us.


There is about 5 waves of 3 Black sun (tier 3 and 4) but if you bring some friends you won't have problems to deal with this mission.


Hope that helps, just be patient, there is an end in all those waves =)


Good Luck

corsec is one of the easiest pilot squadrons in the game.


make sure you are running the appropriate droidprograms.


(level 3 overloads across the board when grinding)


and dont forget capacitor to shield shunt 3 or 4.. if you dont have the tier3 droidprogram box yet go for Wo3 first and fill in with whatever programs you can fit in. (and yes, you need to get chips for the droidprograms you cant program yourself from other players or vendors)


here are some ballpark figures for crafted shields... if your shield is not as good as these do a vendor search.

if you try to fly with outdated equipment you will get shafted in your 6...


L3 700 F/B shield hp

L5 1200 F/B shield hp (i think i have seen 1300+ too)

L7 1900 F/B shield hp (mass should be below 17k)

Spoken like someone who hasn't played through the Corsec missions.

Even with the best equipment, the CorSec missions are next to impossible to beat alone. There's one corsec mission where you have to fight against 2 tier 4 gunships when you are 3 3 3 3. There's another one that has you defending a tier 3 transport against 4 Tier 4 A-wings, and then if you manage to get those taken care of, 2 other waves of 4 spawn.

My advice: Get a friend to help you do the really hard missions, especially those 2.

I aced RSF, Smuggler's alliance, CorSec and Imperial Inquisition until now and am "almost there" on Black Epsilon (3444), the two easiest of them were hands down RSF and CorSec closely followed by smuggler's alliance, and not even remotly "impossible to beat alone" (I had help on exactly one mission with the RSF career because a guildie almost insisted on helping, the Tier 4 exit mission, I completly solo'ed CorSec and smuggler's alliance).

Sometimes true, sometimes not. I'm not always in the mood for overkill and prefer the harder route :-).

Not for overkill, but to enjoy with my friends.

Check your info.. those 2 tier4 gunboats are in the last RSF mission, I certainly never encountered any such situation while doing corsec. As for 4 tier4 a-wings, that should be easy in any decent tier3 equipped ship.


I have aced imperial inquisition, smuggler alliance, corsec, RSF, Akron's havoc, Vortex and working my way trough crimson phoenix at the moment on eclipse. now here i have used good equipment most of the way with the exception of imperial inquisition which was my first ace.


on starsider where i play my alt i aced corsec from scratch in a dunelizard because corsec is easy compared to all other squadrons I have played (Akron's havoc squadron is quite easy too, but so is RSF with the exception of the last mission... same goes for smuggler alliance).

There is a tier-4 mission that has one gunboat, but in that one you have a small squad of CorSec NPC ships there to help you. The RSF mission is quite a bit harder.

I know you guys are frustrated. I am sure it does not help when people like us brag about doing stuff solo that you find hard. Try to make some friends with some other pilots, just having a wingman helps a lot. Don't give up, you are learning new skills. Post your equipment loadouts and the experienced pilots can give you feedback. Read the excellent posts about how to fly in the FAQ. JTL is twitch skill based and is hard at first.

Just my 2 creds: I am presently 4/4/4/3 on CorSec, and my current mission does indeed feature in the third part of the mission a pair of gunships (with accompanying fighter escorts). On your side, you do get your own gunship and a couple fighters, but don't expect much out of them. RSF may indeed have such a mission, but CorSec's got one too. (Hate gunboats!! Hate them hate them....)
