This is probably the worst way to do it. You don't learn to fly and XP is split between anyone on the ship. I prefer duty missions, with maybe a pass through the Kessel system.

Kessel, the only way to go. As far as A-Wings, if you are Imperial, target subsystems such as the reactor to disable them so it won't take as long to kill them. All other rebels ships, don't target any subsystems, and use WO3 combined with emergency weapons when you can. Corsair Raiders are almost always Kimogilas and X-Wings, and the Kimogilas when inspired can give up to almost 10k XP!

Definitly duty missions... Kessel is great but you spend too much time looking for targets.

For Kessel, I have a WPmarked that seems to always have a few ships in the general area ... I just fly towards it, and engage whatever I find.

Yeah, Inspiration buff plus tier 4 duty missions is the way to go.

I just found it too hard to find reliable spawns in Kessel. So while the xp/kill is really good, you spend too much time flying around looking for anything to kill.

Load up on 3 hours of inspiration buff.

Go to a space station that gives out tier 3 duty missions. Take pure kill missions.

Declare, if you have found a faction mission.

Spend at most 2 hours completing the entire duty mission. Recieve one tier box, loot to up over both your ears, and around 3k faction points...

I simply did the Destroy Duty Missions (For Rebel Crimson Phoenix) and completely enjoyed it.

Something about those Tier 4 destroy missions that I just had an absolute blast doing.

I wish I wasn't so interested in getting a Blacksun Ace helm or I'd be doing those Tier 4 Destroy missions more often just for fun... instead I'll usually spend that time running Black Sun Destroy missions.

May the force be with you.

I ground 3 of the last 4 running Black Sun missions with the hopes of loot.

Goes by VERY fast....

Only had to kill like 940 Tier 4 Black Suns

Just keep in mind you may get the Black Sun Ace Helmet and then your money problems are over.

Hard? Duty missions are easy as and fun to boot (well the destroy ones anyways). It takes me about 35-40 mins to complete one tier4/5 RSF duty mission which nets about 450k exp, do that twice and then kill a few merc cruisers around kash and you're set. I nabbed 1.2 mil exp in a little under 2 hours last night. Plus you get a truckload of RE fodder too.
