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.

Secund Inq Tir 3 mission (the docs shuttle)is a pain , its real easy till the part where u shall doc a shuttle u travel to (its after the transmission and tha) there it comes loads of waves and i cant doc cuz the constant waves and i had several guildys with me. Wha to do on tha part ?
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.

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.
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,
