Me and some friends have done this misson 6 times now, and it takes atleast 2 ppl to do it, 1 trick we used is, the misson holder hangs back and your wingman boosts into position behind the nym fighters as soon as the hyper in, then he cuts loose on them with E-weapons takeing out 3-5 nyms in a blink of the eye, then we would both mop up the rest, it's not fool proof, sometimes your systems overload when you attempt to use the e-weapon option and lives you dead in space, but 75% of the time this tactic worked, after doing the misson that way we finaly started helping our other guildies do the misson with 4 TIE intercepters and its a cake walk.

this is by far the longest but not the hardest misson we've done for black epsilon, now we are stuck on the first misson for black epsilon where your sent to capture a nym smuggler in the Lok system

I cant seem to complete the inquisition , tier 3, mission 3(i think its the third.. the one where you have to deliver the fake list) I cant even get past the second part even with a 5 man group, the fighters just keep coming and im still 8 or 9k away from the target, its a stalemate until some tier 4 bloodwitch clan ships jump and rip me to shreds.

Any advice, this is really frustrating me to no end?

Hmm, I hope the Tier 3 missions for Black epsilon arent too hard, I really want a TIE bomber.







They ain't that bad. Just take a couple of buddies that are at the same tier as you and you shouldn't have any problems.


I'm 3-3-2-2 Black Epsilon now and did the first two tier-3 missions last night. Actually, did the first mission 3 times, once for me and then two more times with guildies. The worst part about them are amount of time it takes to do the escort parts. Rolling 15k meters through space at around 110 speed takes a bit. And after the 3rd wave of fighters, even that becomes boring. Dreading tonight when we get the second tier-3 block for a guildie.

Im Imperial Inquisition 3-3-3-2 and Im on the last mission. I can get all of the way to the end of the mission until i have to destroy a Rebel Gunboat, the Price of Liberty. Insane!!! Cannot complete even with two guildies at the same level as me!!! Anyone found a way or a strategy to this quest that can help?

im on the same mission.. Second tier3 mission had a group of three so 4 total pilots. 1st part we managed to disable and dock with the shuttle( engines) 2nd managed to transmit the message. 3rd docked with a shuttle. 4th went to a waypoint and had wave after wave after wave of A-wings, b-wings and x-wings come continualy. For some reason I cant seem to hit any of the a-wings solo. I have a 705-1105 dmg with .640 to shields and hull, I line up with the crosshairs and im hitting like 25 times before it starts to drop. meanwhile my shields are being pounded and my hull is dust.. and its kaboom time.. I managed to last the first few waves thanks to my excellent group I was with Ive tried this now 4 times now First time I tried it solo ..ddint get past the shuttle 2nd time figured out how to stay ahead of it and disable it .. died in first wave of the 4th part 3rd had a wingman.. lasted tell the 2nd wave( or thereabouts) my wingman said I had 5 a-wings on me that couldnt be shaken.. 4th time.. see abouve... had 3 wingmen on tie, two nuetrual ships Tie was 2nd tier the nuetruals were tier3 or higher.


Im using a tie interceptor. should I use the Tie bomber instead?


What is the best way to kill the A-wings, as I seem to not hit them even when im right on using the crosshairs.


How many waves are there on the fourth part?


How many wingmen shall I have with me? what weapon is best to use on these ships? blasters? ion cannons? other?


and what should I look for overall damage or shields vs hull?


If these question have been already answered please point me to them.

I havent read all the posts herein so forgive me if this has already been said.


1 little tip I can give you for when you are getting swarmed by enemy fighters that you arent specifically required to destroy is this:


Just take out their engines, and go on to the next one. If you feel you're getting overwhelmed by enemies, then completing the mission, becomes top priority, not getting exp and loot.


In a lot of cases, taking out engines is faster than destroying the target, and the frequency of new fighter spawns seems to slow down a tad bit, if you arent killing off all the previous ones.

What will you do now, that you previously believed you could not do?

The point of all this isn't that the Imperial Tier 3 missions are hard.

It's more this: They're out of line with the rest of Tier 3 missions.

I have now soloed Smuggler's Alliance and CorSec Tier 3 missions. Easily. I haven't done the Rebel missions yet, but my Rebel friends seem to be doing just fine soloing those as well.

Imperial Storm Squadron Tier 3 can NOT be soloed. Neither can Black Epsilon. I haven't done Inquisition yet, but from what I've seen when I've helped on those, they can't either.

It's the imbalance that makes people angry. If I can solo ALL of Smuggler's Alliance Tier 3 in 2.5 hours... why can't a member of imp Storm Squadrom solo the FIRST mission at all, much less in the 2 hours that it takes?

Either all Tier 3 missions should be soloable, or they should all require groups.

I have soloed ALL the Imperial Inquisition missions except the 3333 exit mission, and only reason I dident solo that is that I have not attempted it yet.


Yes, I might need help on that, we will see. Really, the 3rd tier missions arent that bad.

Im stuck on one of the Storm Squadron missions in the Endor sector i think its Cpt. Denner's second mission to get you to 3/3/2/2 of however you want to put it.

Was just curious if it is possible for me (2/3/2/2) to surrender my /x/3/x/x/ skill and change it to 3/x/x/x without having to do another mission?

Thanks,
