The point of the mission is to deliver a "gift" to the Empire by meeting a wp and docking but along the way you are ambushed by some Deathwatch ships.
It seemed like the waves were non stop so I'd get overwhelmed. My question is is there an end to how many waves of those ambushing fighters you run into or are you supposed to outrun them and continue to the target?
thanks.

Never did neutral but similar missions in both rebel and imperial had never ending waves coming at you, basically destroy all till you reach the target then disbable a few and dock.
Beter still is have wingmen to protect you.

I did this one without firing a single shot. Just get the fastest engine and boosters you can, and if possible Engine Overload 2 or 3 from another pilot. Then simply boost to the WP, dock, and then boost to the next one. If you get attacked while docked, use Shield shunt to repair damage.
Much easier than trying to fight them

If that's the one that spawns a Gunship, just take out the fighters and outrun the Gunship.

The quickest way to complete this is to ignore the fighters and head to the ship to dock with. To complete the mission all you need to do is dock, you dont need to take out the fighters or can wait until after you've docked if you want the xp and fun. I believe the waves of fighters will keep coming so trying to kill all of them is pointless. A nice trick is to head for the dock point at full speed using evasive action then dock. You should be able to at least be in the docking formation before you start taking to much damage, the trick is if you do take too much damage while docked or are not there yet then use IFF to loose the fighters and proceed with the docking. CATSS4 is your freind too and makes it real easy.
