what a horrific waste of time, cor vette, imp send in bomber strike, start picking off little pain escourt ships, get just below gunship target eng, disable wait a few seconds fly right up underneath it finish it with gunz, rinse and repeat on second gunship, fly right up behind vette select sheilds 2 proton misslies , and its gone, select sec sheilds 2 protons its gone, select eng 2 protons its gone, select reactor, 2 protons its gone, select bridge 1 proton mission complete, very simular with nuet, just try pirate strike if that dont work fly right up its but hit iff, select sheild 2 missles , select sec 2 missles, select eng 2 missles fly away let the other stuff fly off, go back kill vette, then gunships. same stuff works on star ravenger. i solo one of each almost nightly. with no left overs.

I would so thats a bad idea.
A+ in presentation. C or D in content due to some erronious info. Several misconceptions in this guide, and some info just plain out of date.
First of all, PvP damage is 75%, not 100%. There is infact a 25% damage reduction.
Secondly, they say to not destroy the gunboats. No, you need to destroy them or you'll borkk the vette spawn and ruin the game for others.
Thirdly, you do not need bomber strike to solo the vette.
Fourthly you CAN solo the vette and don't need a large group.
That said, rebels will have a slightly harder time with the vette due to imperial gunboats not having a blindspot like rebel gunboats. Once the gunboats are gone, your about home free. Both factions are on equal footing with the vette. The gunboats in my opinion, is the hardest obstacle for the rebels, and the easiest for the imperials.

Q: Can I solo the Corvette?
A If you are Rebel, highly highly unlikely
haha come to bria, eclipse, or lowca and ill prove this wrong in about 5 min
i solo the vette, just me, no help, no missles (they are for people that cant fly) and no bomb strike (this is for people with no skill)
the guide is very nice but seems to have a Imp point of view.

This "guide" is why i made on of my own. THe quote you cite is one of the reasons why i call this guide, opinionated and out of date.

It was written, what, a week after JTL came out, so it is a bit dated now. Pretty impressive work for the timeframe it was written in, though. Would have helped me when my group dropped our first Vette, we got eaten alive up there, lol.
Hmm, guess I'd better doublecheck the current FAQ links.

If you can't remove these flying free xp with wings, you honestly don't deserve the ace title. Now kill them.
ROFL.. what, you call that sour?
Still a useful guide, and I'm not sure how much more tactics can evolve against Vettes.

"After you proceed to knock out the weapon systems, and then the shields, the engine will be revealed. This is the 11th subsystem that you must destroy, but it is ONLY accessible after all the weapons and shields are taken down."
For update reasons only, not to flame; You Get access to the Engine once the both shields are out, regaurdless of Turbo Laser status. Yous can actually just target shields with missiles and take them out, then engine, reactor then finally the bridge. I admit not really the safest way about doing the mission but it CAN be done this way in a small fast ship. *cough*Eta-2*cough*
Also whilst I'm replying, Taking weapon #5 out on corvette leaves the CORVETTE underside blind.*
*If attacking the Rebel Corvette, taking out weapon 5 puts you in total blindness of the vette and both gunboats when underneath it, if you creep slowly level with the center of the vette you can actually take out all weapons from safty (unless, of course it decides to roll on you)from memory its 6 0&3 from the right hand side and 7 1&2 from the left (from behind vette) weapon 4 is on top front center of vette, this CAN be hit but you may need to creep up a little more from the center line of the vette to do so. I'll add a clicky with a weapon lay out just as soon as I get it on my webspace.
Edited to add clicky (feel free to use it in guide)

Just wanted to say that I was in a group that destroyed the corvette tonight. I didn't manage to make a single hit on it, as I arrived just as it was destroyed and I still got credit and completed the mission.
