More problematic, are the space quests for those who usually don't do space. Having someone thats high level help you doesn't do much if your flying a novice ship that gets killed in 2 shots by tier 4 ships your supposed to be fighting. Even with 3-4 high level pilots, your going to need a lot of luck to survive, especially going at the speed you are at novice. I tried helping someone, found this out first hand.






Next time, have the n00b cut thier engine as soon as you can see the mission objective and then wipe it out

Its a "delivery" type mission, waves of enemies continue to spawn until you get to the objective ship and dock with it. Going 5km+ at a speed of 200 or whatever newb speed is to an objective while having waves of tier 4 ships spawn is not very fun. Plus, the spawned ships always go straight for the noob, since its her mission.


If it was any other type of mission, I'd just have them sit in the turret of my ARC or get a POB ship. But you can't dock and have the mission complete by that method, thus the problem.

Someone who is only certed for an engine that can only make 200 is having to fight wave after wave of Tier 4 fighters?

Yes, with the new RotW missions that can happen.

That's why I said earlier in this thread that you're better off with CL1 and ace then CL80 and novice.

Is that the "Deliver the Bantha Hides blah blah blah" mission in Corellian space? If so, an easy way to get your pilot friend to the freighter is to hyper in-system when the fighters show up... If you've got time.

It's been a long day. I was wondering why someone that low would be made to go through that kind of torture! Brain = Toothpaste today.
