Thread: Freelance pilot has a problem
I have this problem too...
I go to the gunboats very fast, dock( mission completed), go to the second waypoint, and nothing...
ifI exit, i go to Beissa(?) and he says the mission isnot completed and i have to restart...
IfI stay, I explode....
I´m in Sunrunner
I had a problem the first time around on this one myself. Found out the best way is to get a wingman to cover your butt while you dock with the three Lamdas.
Second time around though, I did it solo with no problem. Shooting to disable helps a lot, but even better is shooting to ALMOST disable. Target the engines and get them down to 9-10% then switch targets to another ship. You''ll keep the new waves from spawning because the damaged ships won't self-distruct triggering another wave. You'll still have to keep your distance, but they'll be too damaged to catch up with you as you dock with the shuttles.
oh, and you are using Capacitor Overcharge and Cap to Shield Shunt, right?
Give this a shot.
The shield and capacitor are droid commands. Buy a flight computer (the highest you can handle at your level) and prgram it with the commands you know (Capacitor overload and Capacitor to Shields at the very least. put the computer into your ship.
Launch, press control A, astromech and drag the commands to your toolbar. Memorise where th e shield one is.
This mission caused me nothing but hassle, and I was ready to give up ono mastering pilot. Then I realised the components I was using were nowhere near as good as I thought they were. Make sure you have the best possible reactor, engine shields and guns you can use. Ignore the attacking ships as much as possible. You'll have enough time to use IFF scramble once, so time it right.
When you do have to engage the enemy, always target the engine or reactor, disable and move to the next ship. They come to thick and fast, and you just need them out of the way.
I seem to remember this as being the hardest mission of that tier. Once you can do this mission, you should have no real problems until the Tier 4 corsec-ace-in-a-gunboat mission.
Good luck.
