I killed the ISD with my crappy level 7 gun on my a-wing pre-upgrade. ISD is too easy now, anyone can do it.

Bah took me a good 7 or 8minutes right now. 
I did it all strafing runs though, no sitting around hitting a point in a blind spot (not that I can find any yet, lol). Had to deal with a couple TIEs too that didn't like for dropping the shields.
Standard X-wing. Tier 6 reward, non-re engine. 1300 f/b shields, 2 Incom Heavy Blasters (~2400 damage). /shrug
We need an SSD.

42 sec. not bad,too bad your flying in a ROTW ship. I have them all, only one I use anymore is the Royal TIE and ARC-170 for leveling the nubbies.

If the reb base were killable i can solo it easy in 8-10 passes remiding me of the line in the move that goes something like this "they are soo small annd fast they are avoiding the turbolasers" i know its not a exact quote but it gets the point across.

It doesnt drop loot, but it does provide 500+ faction if you are overt. Pre-CU it had blind spots that allowed your to take it out in under 2 mins without getting hit.
Post CU, those blindspots have had PD guns added, so now, as many have said already, the best bet is to use a heavy xwing and just strafe the components.
Now, the real reason for this reply is to say: "how can you guys thing that gunboats are harder to kill than the ISD??" It takes me a few minutes to kill the ISD, mainly because I get video lag when I attack the bridge so it takes several passes, but I can kill a gunboat in under a minute.
Well, the gunboats in DS anyway, or any gunboat that flies in a straight line 
If they were refering to the new gunboats that chase you in kasshyyyk, then yes I would say they are harder

Get a fast enough engine and the turrets just don't matter anymore. Turrets on gunboats always matter.

Turrets on gunboats don't matter if they are flying straight and level....if you are smart and attack from the blind spot.
