Thread: SS squad 3-3-2-2 mission.
Oh man, that's gotta be at least 5 days in a row I've seen this very same post from different pilots. Normally I don't flame, and I'll try not to here, but does anyone even scroll down the page or just look at the top 5 - 10 threads?

First do not start the mission untill all your overloads are running and you verify none of your components are inactive. Launch your ship in another system so the mission doesnt start the moment you launch.
I know you want the EXP and loot but you must sacrifice for the greater good. Instead of killing everything disable them instead. It is allot faster to disable than it is to kill and speed is key on some escorts. What I do is disable the first ship and head backtwards the escortee while looking for the closest target. You stay close to your escortee and locate the next target faster doing it this way. I have also found (this is not allways the case) if you disable this tends to delay the next ambush.

This does not work for this mission. Every other escort in the game, yes, but not this mission. You MUST destroy all four targets, and before the next wave spawns at that. I see someone post this response in every discussion on SS's third Tier 3, but it just will not work.
Whelp, just read the message about disabling not working, after just failing again because I disabled all of them.
Would love to know how you can solo this with only Tier 2 WO.

Maybe we need a special stickied thread just for tier 3 Storm.
I think so, it seems to be the most confusing to the noobs. I just figured when I failed this mission for the first time that I wasn't killing enough, fast enough. After a while I upgraded my ship enough to allow me to do this mission the way it was meant to be done. It's really not that complicated.

Thunder, I have the best weapon I could find at my tier on the planet, and with WO2 I am not killing them fast enough. So something is that complicated.
There ya are, get weapon overload 3

At this point I was using a v3 flight comp with EO2, WO3, and CTSS4. EO2 won't load down your reactor too bad and still gives a little performace boost but it leaves room for WO3 just find a Imp pilot that is xxx3 for WO3 and Neutral pilot xxx4 for CTSS4 or check the bazarr
I trained astromechs first in tier 3, so I was able to use a v4 F.C. It can hold WO3, EO3, CtSS4, CO3, and RO3.
