you running a lvl 4 droid/flight comp with cap OL3, engine OL3, reator OL3, weap OL3 and shunt 3?
You get the mission from "Beis" in Jabbas palace, it is the last one for tier 3 and you have to go eliminate the Rancor clans that are fighting the hutts in Dath space, the first part is 6 fighters tier 3 they go down pretty easy then you go to the next waypoint and the mission actually says " wow looks like the whole rancor clan is here" there are atleast 6 of them, I believe atleast 2 of them are teir 5 gunships, which is, I am sure whats taking me out in a matter of like 30 to 45 seconds, I even tried targeting a teir 5 to start off and still wound up dead pretty quick because trying to take out that tier 5 takes a lil while and I am in a duney with 2 weaps one is 1200 - 1600 damage the other is like 1400 - 1800 damage, I have tried using the energy pulse and I have also tried using the IFF I dont think either of those actions kept me alive more then 10 seconds LOLany help on this would be AWESOME tips tricks or just a nice ace with 10 minutes to spare on Wanderhome

I flew that mission last night with a guildmate of mine. With the two of us it was pure butter, but if I had to solo it I would say part of the secret would be that most of the T5 Rancor Clan ships seem to Kimo's which means they pack a punch but are big and slow. I would make sure that I had a more maneuverable ship like a Dunelizard so I could get behind them and stay there. I wouldn't try to take them on with say, another loaded up Kimo.
Hope this helps.
This is a tough mission, but I managed to solo it. There are two tricks to it, one which I did, and one which I was unable to succeed at doing, and one thing I didn't try that I should have, which would have made it a lot easier.
Trick 1: fly into the middle ofthe group and use E-pulse. It kills several of the ships, severly damages the tier 4s, and hurts the tier 5s a little bit.
Trick 2:(which I didn't get to work) pull your allies into the fight by getting the rancor clan to shoot at you and miss, hitting the Hutt ships.
The thing I didn't try, but should have: use your droid programs. Even if you only use privateer programs, they are very helpful. Use capacitor overload and capacitor to shield shunt. I didn't use any of these until the Tier 4 exit quest, and they would have made my life much easier.
I remember that mission i soloed it on my 2nd try
Cant remember any gunships???
just a lot of fighters that were easy compared to my kimogila
