Supposedly RSF. Thats the first one I did but I went through by myself. I did SA next and that one was very easy. I havent tried Corsec yet.

Opinions are divided between RSF and CorSec. Both have a mission with 2 gunboats and lots of fighters at the same time.

Thus far, RSF has been the worst pilot profession for me. Not just of the Freelance ones, but of all of them. Even worse than Storm Squadron. But all credit for that goes to the fact that every trainer for RSF is in Theed. The laggiest city on Bria. I have to land, go get my reward, get the next mission, and Travel to Keren then restart my computer between every single mission. All the (long series of explatives that would likely get me banned) AFK spammers, buffbots, and general (more explatives) idiots standing around Theed eats up my Memory far worse than any other place in the game. Granted, I'm not running a very good system, and I've only got 512 MB, but still. The fact that I go from a relatively lag-free play session to a jerky, lag-ridden slideshow after two passes through Theed is obscene. I HATE RSF.
Thankfully, I'm on Tier 4 now, so this nightmare will be over soon. Sadly, Mos Eisley isn't a whole lot better. I can't wait to go back to being a Rebel...

I havent finished either all the way but im 4443 corsec and 4333 rsf. So far RSF was a breeze compared to corsec.
I dont know if its just me or if its been awhile. RSF seems very sparatic with the tier 1-3 missions.
Example: One tier 3 mission i did had tier 1 fighters escorting a tier 2 yt1300. The next part of the mission sent me to another system where i fought a wave of tier 4 blacksuns.
Then waves of tier 3's and im not sureif the gunboat was part of my mission or not. I had a friend wandering nearby killing stuff and she wandered over and smacked it down.
Its hard to compare difficulty of the two for me. When i did corsec i was fairly new to space. Now that im doing RSF ive got alot of experience with space and a master shipwright.
I noticed that all missions seemed so impossible untill i learned how to pimp out a ship with good parts and a nice droid/puter.
When youfire missile andfull guns blazingin a 3 gun ship with WEO3 at a gunboat they drop so pretty like.
I think all in all they are very close draw for difficulty it all just depends on what your weakness as a pilot is. Nothing to hard If you take a friend they are down right easy.

Yes, the gunboat was part of your mission. It was also really, really lame. When mine came up, it didn't even move. I was able to slide right under it and blow it to bits without a second thought. I was hoping for something more difficult.

hehe i saw it. My friend (storm squadron ace) was sitting there in front of it not even moving just shooting at it. So i turned and opened fire. It dropped so fast i didnt even see the tier on it.
Oh btw since im starting the tier 4 rsf missions you got any tips on things i should watch out for in those missions. Gonna go run the first one here in a bit.

Nope, no tips from me. I'm sitting at 3333 myself. I've been playing "shuffle my inventory around" for the last two days. I'm about to start in on the Black Sun duty missions, and I want all the free inventory space I can get. Right now, however, I'm sitting around with a full bandolier and 79/80 in my normal inventory, so this may take a while. I'm going to be extremely upset if I need to buy ANOTHER house.

I already have one! That is why I'm going to be upset if I need another house, too.

I've done RSF, CorSec and Smuggler Alliance, I managed to solo everything in Smugglers Alliance first time though, mastered it in a day. CorSec, I only needed help with the second to last mission, where you have to fight 2 gunboats and fighters, same with the RSF last mission. RSF is the harder of the two though, because while when you do the CorSec mission you have fighters and a gunboat of your own to help, with RSF you only have some fighters.

I'd be happier if I could just dump unused lots into the houses I'm already using to get extra storage space. My biggest problem with the idea of extra houses is the traveling around. Bad enough to just search through vendors and bags. I don't need to deal with running from house to house to house on top of that. Especially since the two I already have are about 4k from each other (one is my "shop", the other my residence).
