no anyone gunship involved, and Nebula stalker is a Tier 5 Dunelizard with other 4 tier 4 Dunelizard like escort, very simple to take down.
Have a nice dogfight!!

Back on topic. I just did that particular Smuggler Privateer mission which is the one where you actually have to kill the Gunboat. The previous one was possible with just getting out of there.
I had 2 rebel wingmen, one 4433 and one 3332. I was in a Rihkxxs (sp!) with 3 good guns, 1900 shields, a decent engine (75 speed, 63 turns). I used overloads: weapon 3, engine 3, reactor 3 and capcitor. 2 ships had loaded Mark I spacebombs. We got blown into pieces a couple times until we figured it out. The way to do it for us was to first aggro the firesprays from max distance (540m) get away from the gunboat (it did not aggro with the Firesprays). We finished off the firesprays with ease.
Next step was to approach the gunboat from the rear slowly untilwe got lock on the rockets at about 520m. Make sure to be exactly lined up with the gunboat! Then we launched the 2 spacebombs simultaneously which took out most of the rear shields. My wingmen fell back an I fired a couple shots at the gunboat keeping max distance. You will have a couple seconds to fire at it but be prepared toboost out therewhen it turns. Important: Everyone should target the engines first.
At this point it was going full speed (750 or 799, don't remember exactly) after me, I got away and keept going in the same direction at the same speed as the gunboat (keep it targeted and press "M" tomatch it's speed. Then my wingman approached to boat from the rear again staying at exactly 545m away and opened fire (no more rockets as you have to get too close). After doing a bit of damage the boat now aggroed my wingman and we switched roles until the engines were gone. It went down fast from there. I think at 545m distance it's guns can't hit you but you can do damage. Not 100% sure as it went down quite quickly after we took the engine out.
Except for the trick where you fly inside it, which is quite difficult (at least for me) you will need at least one other wingman. If you have a friend that's master make sure he(she) loads mark II spacebombs. One direct hit should taka out the rear shields and a good portion of it's armor. It should go down quickly from there.
Hope it works for you
