Read the Pilot FAQ on the master corvette missions. Same Vette with the same strategies, that'll help you figure out what's wrong.

Unless you know how to take down a vette...in which case you've got some wierd bug. /shrug

Here's a guide I wrote on my guild's forums... helps almost all of our pilots get thier heavy:

The missions leading up to getting the X-Wing and Vaksai are pretty easy, and if you keep your head, you can solo them. I won't get into those.

I WILL get into how you can solo the Corvette mission at the end. I recoomend you be at least 4/4/x/x to do this mission, to make it that much easier, and be able to actually FLY the craft. Basically both quests have the same missions right up to the end. If you want the X-Wing you go to the Rebel Station and say "I'm looking for a challenge." For the Vaksai, you go to Kashyyyk Station and do the same.

Proper Loadout for your ship:

Somewhat maneuverable engine (YPR in the low 60's or higher, Speed preferable in the 70-80 or higher), booster is a very helpful thing.

High-end lasers

A Spacebomb Mark I launcher with full ammo. Janis is making high end/high damage spacebombs, get some of those.

Ok, on with the mission. Once you recieve the mission, you will get a WP to fly to. Go there and eliminate the Vette's escorts WITHOUT hitting the vette... this will make it MUCH easier. If you do hit the vette, IFF it ASAP. Next, target weapon 5 on the vette, get as close as you can to it and fire a spacebomb. This should eliminate the weapon completely. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT FROM THIS POINT ON UNTIL YOU DISIABLE THE VETTE, STAY ON THE 'WEAPON 5' SIDE OF THE VETTE. the best way I have found to remove the shields is turn your ship so that is travelling the same vector as the vette, and the orientation of your ship is perpendicular to it... kinda like a T on it's side. Next turn away from the vette without rotating... move out to about 500m away, turn back in and achieve lock on the primary shields. At this point, fire another spacebomb to remove the primary shield generator (Note: sometimes this doesn;t completely remove the shield generator, depending on the quality of the spacebomb. if this happens, repeat the process, only fire your lasers to finish it off. don't waste that last spacebomb) do the exact same thing with the secondary shields. next, come back in line with the ship, like you did before you took out the shields and stop. just kill your engine, the vette will slowly move past you giving you a clear shot at the engines. match speed as soon as you see the engines and target them. fire until the engines are disabled and stop. basically wait there until the vette is friendly again.

At this point, it becomes an escort mission. You will deal with 5 waves of enemies coming in. Eliminate the first three which are a mix of tier 3-4-5 bombers and fighters (ixyens and rixykrrhks or however it's spelled). On the third wave, it should be a few fighters and a gunboat. AVOID the gunboat. try to not even get close to it, but eliminate the fighters. The fourth wave should show up then, with two gunboats and one fighter... kinda hang back and let the fighter come to you and let the vette handle the gunboats. once the fighter is gone, and just the three gunboats are left, drop back to about 2000m behind the vette and match speed. dont' worry about the gunboats destroying the vette, as they won't be able to do enough damage in time by this point. eventually you will get the mission complete message and be far enough away from the gunboats that they will not come after you. Casually wait until the gunboats hyper out (as short as 30 seconds, but as long as 5 minutes) and go to the station to recieve your reward and badge.

If done correctly you will have no damage to your ship at all.

Hope this helps everyone get thier ships!

| think your problem is that you are not targeting corvette subcomponents this is done using the [ and ] keys.

Disable sequence for this corvette is gun5, Shield, secondary shield, engine if my memory serves me correctly.

Whoa! If this is for the corvette in Kashyyyk (not the one in Kessel), please don't destroy either the primary OR the secondary shields. You are gonna need them. I don't even take out gun 5 on this one because with more guns, the vette can do a better job of fighting back after you take it over. Just my 2 cents. =)

You can't disable the vette until both shields are down tho.

You are 100% correct. I should drink more coffee before I try to reply to messages.

I did this solo last night

What I did is, I disable the fighter first then went on the rear of the corvette(The guns cant hit you from behind the thrusters). From there i just took my timeusing my missiles to hit the secondary shields andmain shields. After you take that down you can disable the engines.

Unless you're using missiles, you actually have to hit the components on a corvette with your weapons (ala X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter) to damage them. Want to shoot gun #5, the belly gun? You're going to have to target it and hit it with your lasers while it's shooting at you.
