I am doing the Deathwatch guys in Endor. 2 spawns andconstant action. I have been able to get 1 mil on an average play night and have never even had half my shield taken down yet.

At work, so not at the moment...but simply put, Hyperspace to the point where is says Deathwatch in the hyperspace point details at the bottom of the hyperspace map, than head towards the edge of the zone where there are a bunch of asteroids. You'll find em thata way.

I wish i had one, I never made a WP for them. But if you goto the Endor Station, then face the planet and turn about 20 degrees right, then head about 1500m out, you will see them with about 5 other frigate type freighters and ships, that are also static, and dont move. And then barely just beyond that is about 2 dozen TIE fighters that are also always static. Sorry id give a WP, but I just know where they are by memory. Also 3 of them head to the station every now and then, so you can try to track them, then follow the line back. You cant miss them, theres about 12 Z-95s, and 3 Freighters constantly there.

Duty missions never really worked for me in terms of xp gains. The duty missions I was getting at tier 2 spawned nothing but tier 2 tie fighters, interceptors, & bombers. 400 space combat xp at most. I did much better looking for tier 3 tie's that gave me 1100-1200 xp per kill. I'm doing the tier 3 missions right now, but maybe when I get to tier 4 the duty missions will spawn enemies that will give out good xp.
Check the xp/given time before deciding that higher tiers are better. If you can kill a tier 2 for 400 xp in 15 seconds, but it takes you 1 minute to kill the tier 3 for 1200 xp you make more doing the duty missions in the same amount of time. Also remeber to add in searching for spawns, I ran into this in kessel, sometimes taking 5 minutes to find another one. That searching can really bring down your xp/hour. The draw to kessel for me was that i was in no rush (tier 4 was gated at the time) and the fp are good.
In response to this, I can say that I trainon Tier 3 Y-Wings at theBloodlight Sea POI on Lok rather then do duty missions. I am 1111, grinding Tier 2. The reason I do it is that duty missions spawn 6 enemies for me before I have to go to the next waypoint. That's around 2400-2640 exp. I have to haul my rather slow fighter varable distances sometimes 11k, sometimes 1-3k. This distances saps xp/hour. By grinding Tier 3 Y-Wings, I ensure that when I am killing 1 Y-Wing, I have another spawned, ready for me to get it. I usually just ride behind the Y-Wing, and let it have shot after shot from my lasers. Y-Wings aren't very good fighter craft, so I am usually safe from most laser fire, unless it takes the form of a missile, in which case I "juke" the missile by making a hard turn, or just take the missile on the shields. I have looted a good enough shield to protect me for up to 3 missiles, ensuring that I can safely train there.

if we're talking purely rebel tier 4 xp, go for the duty missions. i just ground out rebel master for the second time and altho the high xp from kessel is nice, i actually found it faster to just go for the constant spawns and gank tier 4's in dant. plus, you'll get a lot more loot and money from the duty missions. having said that, a good team of two couldclean up inkessel.
on a side note, for neutral you are way better off hitting kessel, you have the rhix and nothing will aggro you unless you aggro it, so it's pretty much an xp paradise. the duty missions i got involved progressively more tie aggressors for the boss bit, which can get painfull when you get to four or more.

I'm spending most of my tier 4 time hunting random spawns in Dathomir. The tier 5 ships give 6-9k experience per.

On my main, I did Teir 4 grinding in Kessel.
As a smuggler's alliance privateer, I could shoot and single pull either rebels or Imperials without them all aggro'ing on me, which meant being able to pick and choose your targets, which was important given I was in the Black Sun Brick fighter.
