The exit mission for Crimson Phoenix is a complete blur. Care to remind me?

A little off topic but if you run the Tier 4 destroy duty for Crimson Phoenixyou will bewell prepared to handle that exit mission since it gives you increasing numbers of TIEs, Interceptors, Bombers and Advanced as you progress through each phase. If I recall correctly, the exit mission had two or three waves of fighters with about 8 ships per wave. I honestly believe I solo'd it on my first attempt because I had run that duty so many times thatI no longer felt overwhelmed at the sight of8 TIE's spawning andgunning for me all at once. Just my two cents on that mission.


Oh and to the original poster, if you are looking for a fairly easy squadron then do Crimson Phoenix.

The Phx Tier 4 exit mission starts off with you having to intercept a special new imp gun ship and destorying it and its 5 escorts, once that is done you really have upset the empire and the rebels want you to go to a point in space and hold off the imperial assault so they can collect some debri to study. You are told that the empire is going to throw everything at you. So when you get to the way point 6 fighters spawn, followed by wave after wave of 6 to 8. You have to hold that point for several mins while the Rebs collect their debri, the spawns are pretty quick, I was not able to finish a single wave before the next wave poped. I would recommend having a friend or two help. It really was a lot of fun, best dog fight I have had in space.

I remember the VT-49. Gods, that wet down fast. The rest, I'm drawing a complete blank. Obviously, they didn't keep me very busy.

I'm just finishing up havok squadron right now. One small advantage that it has is that all of it's trainers are located near a starport (T1=Tyrena, T2=Nym's Stronghold, T3=Yavin Labor Outpost, T4=Nym's again). I know Vortex Squadron has it's T2 and T3 trainers way out at the abandoned rebel base, which means MANY shuttle rides and long drives over mountainous landscapes. Phoenix isn't as bad I undrstand (haven't done that one yet) but isn't the T3 trainer on Yavin all the way out at the deathstar debris site?

No, the Tier 3 trainer is in the Labor Outpost. As to Vortex's Tier 2 and 3 trainers, you can do a quest from the Dantooine station to get landing rights at the base, negating a lot of the travel time.

Holy cr*p!! I didn't know that! That would've made my life infinitely easier back when I was doing Vortex. Probably would have saved me a few grey hairs as well. : )


I still like Havok squad, tho. As someone said earlier, their trainers are pretty off the wall.

The strangest trainer I've had so far has been my Tier 1 Black Epsilon.

Tier 4 BE was fairly strange too ... he could CHOOSE to let you go on to the Grand Admiral!? Then again, in Havok Squadron there were plenty of strange trainers.

I'm doing Tier 4 BE now, and he hasn't been that odd to me so far.

Not personality quirks (THAT is Havok, no question ... or Inquisition if you like the creepy sorts) so much as the unique position he's in.
