On the servers I play on, I try to organize and help everyone on space mission and especially with the master corvette mission. And some times right when I get it disabled and start organizing and waiting for people to return from a misfortunate death, some SOB comes along and kills it, and people miss it


Be courteous people!!! If you see a group attacking the corvette don't come in and just fire away then hyper off. How would you like if someone did that to you? Send a Tell!!! I'm sure the group will let you join and then everyone can compleate their mission and fly away happy masters!


Come on play nice and share!!!



**EDIT**


Thanks for all the replys and ideas. Best thing to do to stop corvette stealing is make sure no one dies in group and kill it asap before anyone gets a chance to steal it. I have tested that everyone in group gets credit for master mission if they are in group. but this was tested with only one group. so if more than one group is shooting at it im guessing thatone person in each group has to score damage to get credit for group.


Andkill the 2 gunboats after you kill vette. so the next group isnt waiting for hours.


Plz keep this post near the top so everyone reads thanks

i fully support you. the people who wait around and kill the vett after someone else has done all the work are the same people who try to make life for new people difficult.


to bad we cant get the repete offenders banned

I feel for you Akyma. It happened to me the other day helping people ace. I asked the dude repeatedly to just hit one component. A, 'heh,' response followed as he continued killing the bridge. I was furious. And my fellow rebel pilots were so disenchanted that they logged out right where they were. The type of player who kill steals is the same type of person who camps loot containers with a timer to ensure they get it before you. Or, better yet, are the asshats who'll triple incap you in pvp to ensure you DO get decay on your belongings.

it could be an easy fix. all other ships (fighters, GunBoats etc..) if you in a group and disable the engine on a ship, no one outside of your group can do anymore damage to it and will hear the anoying 2 buzz sounds.


just make the corvette work the same way. and problem solved.

On a related note, kill the gunboats too when you kill the 'vette!


Spent hours waiting for it on a friend's ace mission the other night only to find the two gunboats dancing with each other in the middle of nowhere. So please, be kind, rewind, and kill the gunboats.

When I go to Kessel, it is my habit to check the endpoint for the gunboats. You wouldn't guess the number of times I've hit kessel to see them there. Willing to guess? Okay, EVERY TIME BUT ONCE. So yes, please kill the gunboats so the spawn can continue as scheduled.

Amen to the gunboat bit. It's my habit to always, always check the despawn point when I hit Kessel while vette-hunting. I've never encountered corvette-stealing, though.

tbh i dont understand why people would go to kessel just to kill a vette.


I went into deepspace earlier and there was hundreds of them, i killed about 5 before i got bored.


The vettes in kessel should be left alone by master pilots and left to groups doing the ace missions.

Fully agree with this... happened to me a few times as well, both the steal, and some ***** not killing the gunboats.


I only go to Kessel if a friend needs to do the vette.

Because you're imperial and rebels can't kill vettes in DS. no, we're limited to ties, gunboats, decs, and the star destroyer.

Also, I know its hard to believe, but there are a FEW of us out there that are neutral, in space and on the ground, and we get a VERY annoying bug that leaves our ship factioned after leaving DS. That why I don't go there. But yeah, every time I go into Keseel I check the exit waypoints, and more times than not I find gunboats. its annoying, but look on the bright side, it at least gives you time to explain to your group how to actually fight the Vette, as often they don't have a clue.


I don't think making the Vette non-attackable to anyone not in your group is a good idea, several times I've been up there and two or more groups convereged on the Vette at the same time, or Master-hopefuls came flying up in the heat of battle to help, but there wasn't time to invites them what with all the trying to not blow up.

On the occasions when I have been doing master missions I have often met another group who also want the vette. Usually we combine groups but sometimes I find the other group want the rebel vette and I want the imperial one.. Yet they are adamant that the ravager is the one they want and then find that their tag along ace to be cant actually hit it. Most annoying.


Be aware that the if you are rebel or smuggler then you want the Imperial corvette that spawns at 6000,6000,600 in kessel


If you are Imperial or RSF then you want the Rebel vette which spawns somewhere else.. I cant remrmber the wp off the top of my head.


If you are Corsec then you have a choice - if you took a mission from the imperial guy on naboo then you need to kill the rebel corvette and if you went to the rebel admiral then you need to kill the star ravager.


Happy hunting
