Nice video... but the discussed mission includes mobile gunboats that turn at you when you close in. I'm assuming to answer is to just take your time do your best to stay behind them....

I finally did the two moving GBs with a Vaksai, four droid programs running and a couple of space bombs. It takes quite a while, but I just did straffing runs at the guns, CTSSing and boosting my way in and out.

Those gunboats are fast and hit hard. Luckily, they have a hard time hitting anything moving over 1200 that's not flying in a straight line. Make sure you can go this fast without boosters when you do your strafing runs.






yes! that 1200 speed number is something I was going to mention too..Ive got my Vaksai at 1210 speed w/ EO3 and gunboats arent a problem at all...Id like to say it's my superior piloting skills (HA!) but I dive right down on to thier belly and corkscrew away and dont get a scratch
