Master Box for SA is three missions only, XP no longer matters for you. First is the mission you're on, killing the Imp Ace, the CorSec guys, and a few others I think. Then you'll be shuffled off to Corellia where you'll meet a Rebel commander. He'll ask you to kill 30 Imperials in Kessel to 'soften up' the area. After that mission is finished you'll be given the Corvette mission. If you're lucky after waiting 2.5 hours for the thing to spawn you'll end up killing it rather than having three jerk master pilots come along and kill it for fun while you're still hypering back from repairs thereby stealing credit for your work and wasting your entire night.

But either way you don't need XP to get master at all, only those missions.

The 2.5 hour spawn time is between spawns, not from the moment you enter looking for one, you could easily catch a break and have it show up 5min after you arrive.

hey all im on the same mission and well have never taken on a gunboat. wht is the best way to kill it?? please help thx in advance

You are right for teh most part, but if you are RSF then you will have to kill a Rebel vette and if your are Corsec then you can do either Rebel or Imp final mission. Only Hutt does the Rebel mission exclusively.

And the best way to take out a gunboat is to disable the engines. A couple minutes later they will self destruct. Missles help a lot.

Very carefully.


Seriously though, if its a gunboat with a fixed path(meaning its not going to move the same way every single time and it won't follow you), your best bet is to get 535-549 meters directly behind it in its aft horizon(against an Imperial Gunboat), and plug away at Weapon 2, once weapon 2 is down, either destroy or disable the ship.

With free-roaming gunboats, they're a little trickier, but the same basic tactic is used. Get the gunboat to aggro on you, and have a friend chase it taking the turrets out. Eventually, this will make it change aggro to your friend, in which case, you and your friend switch roles. Alternatively, you can take a friend up in a turreted ship, stay ahead of the gunboat by about 535-549 meters, and let your bud in the turret blast away. Aggro doesn't change, and you get to drop it. If you don't have any friends. Then you need to be moderately skilled.

Good luck.

Here's a noobish question but I've read all the stickies and even looked through the online manuals. The search engine seems to be down atm to. Exactly how do we get into the kessel system? I know it involves going to certain stations but thats about all ive found. I'm also on the master box, but for imp. Do we have to go there twice, the first being to kill however many fighters to soften the place and the second to do the vette? Thanks for any help.

Dantooine Rebel Station will take you to DS and Kessel.

The Gunboats won't usually fire on you unless you fire on them, so clear out the fighters, then disable the 'vette + Turret 5, then take the Gunboats, then finish the 'vette.

At least that's what I did, and it worked great.

As an imp you will need to go the the Empire's Deep Space Station in Endor. Check the sticky at the top, I believe the subject title is Pilot FAQ v3.0, in that post somewhere towards the bottom there is a link to how to complete the master mission. Very helpful and should be read prior to doing the mission if you haven't already done so.
