Pilot Archive

I got to 4443 Arkon's Havok (I didn't know the trick to destroying imp gunboats back then lol) and 3333 I think it was in BE - the one where you gotta destroy a very angry tier4 reb gunboat. I needed help during those lol

>>Re: Is it even POSSIBLE to pass tier 3 pilot for ANY faction without help?

Oh yes, most definatly. Theres three things you have to consider.

1.) How well you've outfitted your ship.
2.) On the fly tactical decisions you have to make
3.) difficulty of the mission.


Off the top of my head, Imperial Inquisition was (an all around) cakewalk. Rebel's Havok squadron,teir 3 was an absolute joke, felt more like teir 2 missions.

I think the biggest thing about soloing teir 3 missions, is chiefly the tactical decisions you make.

For example, i just did my teir 4 exit mission,

Phase 1: Kill a whole lot of ships. teir 4 decimator, tie agressors, then the usual compliment of teir 4 ties.

I chose to disable the deci reator first in one pass, fly out, then take out his turrets. I then ignored the aggressors (because as long as you dont get behind them and keep moving around they're nothing more than annoying), and finished off the rest of the fighter group.. THEN did the aggressor.


Or another example, Phase 2.
Kill 3 cargo ships, escorted by tie aggressors and usual compliment of ties. before they hyperspace.
Ok, kill reactors on cargo ships, first, so they don't hyper on me. After that, this time i chose to JOUST the aggressors because there were more of them, then mopped up the standard ties.


Or another example:
Delivery missions. Instead of running to point A to B with multiple waves spawning in your face, just hyper to another quadrant in the same sector and appraoch the delivery waypoint from another direction. More ofthen then not, you totaly bypass the endless spawning ties.



You have to fly smart, and make tactical decisions based on what your facing. In other situations sometimes its better to remove the fighter screen first, before gunboats, because the collective firepower of the whole group is too much. Sometimes the fastest and easiest way to reduce that combined firepower is to disable the fighters by jousting them one at a time to make the group more managable.

Got to 4443 Corsec Freelancer, the missions before that never featured a real gunboat, or were any hard, but then, I suddenly had to kill 2 tier 5 gunboats, that's just stupid. Can't find anyone who would help me, and I'd atleast need about 3 oder 4 people.
Are there any faction specific mission guides? I'd like to see whether there are any tricks or better factions.

Yeah, I agree, and I have been stuck with this mission for months now, although I didn't play most of the time.
I will try it another time today I think, but I'm not having much hopes, I'm just not doing enugh damage.

Did all but one Black Epsilon mission solo and so far have done all of CorSec solo, just need a hand for the vette now.

I went from 0/0/0/0 to 4/3/3/3 in the smuggler alliance (out of bestine) yesterday. Took one day. Now ive mastered other squads on my two main toons (imp)and reb and i can honestly say that, this particular squad is by far the easiest ive ever seen. With that said, i have alot of good RE parts ect, and use all my flight computer programs. I never even came close to dieing so far, I died A BUNCH while doing the Imp squads and one of the reb squad that ive mastered. In a word, some squads are way easier than the others. If you want to go Imp easiest route was the Imp inquisition, ive only mastered the crimson squad for the alliance, and after a few nights in kessel ill master the smuggler squad soon. So it is very possible.

Cheers
