I'm a privateer on naritus 4/4/4/4 and having probs trying to complete myFIRST mission. I have to destroy an imperial ace who happens to be surrounded by 4 tier 4 advanced ties. Is there a strat guide for thefinal privateer missions? I've seen some things for rebel and imp, but nothing for privateer. Is it possible to do them solo? I don't play regularly, butwas able to solo through all the other missions. Any help or suggestions will be appreciated!

I'm a tier 1 on naritus. I'm not much help and still learning the ropes, but if you have a group up there and have room for 1 more, shoot me a /tell.
I think you'll wanna get a group together for this - although - I really am new to space.

Are you Smuggler's Alliance? If so, there are three parts to the last mission. The first one, the one you describe, isn't too difficult using droid commands. The only problem is hitting the Ace. My Rihk is a bit on the slow side which made it difficult to keep the Ace in my crosshairs.
If you're having difficulty with that step then the next one will completely obliterate you. Part 2 has you going after a gunboat and its three escorts. The escorts are easily picked off one by one. Simply target one of them and fire once. That will aggro just the one you hit and since the escort Firesprays are slow they're easy to kill. The gunship, however, is an entirely different matter. It moves, has lots of guns and will chase you so you can't use the 'fire from below it' method. I had a Master Pilot help me. We killed the escorts and then he did the initial attack on the gunship. I fired a couple missiles to destroy one of the guns (#5 I think) and the gunship came after me. I hit cap to shield then boosted out of range. The Master pilot lined up behind the gunship and blasted it out of the sky while it was distracted.
The last mission takes you to Dant space and another relatively easy fight like the first one.
You will probably need to bring along another 4444 or Master Pilot for this mission. I tried quite a few times to solo using missiles but couldn't win because the gunship follows you and my Rihk was too slow to do straffing runs. I tried the neutral tricks (IFF, pirate trap) but those were worthless. I even tried flying myself into the middle of the gunship, match it's speed and fire away but the guns were able to hit me.
