I have chosen to grind the 7.5 million points instead of doing the stupid unbalanced final privateer master mission.
So my question is how do u train the box? I returned to the last mission NPC on Dantoine, but he just wants to keep giving me the final mission. If u meet the requirements for the box then why do u need to do the missions? Why have that option if it can't be used.

My guess would be so that you would go to the forums and type out a whiney message in annoyingly large font type?
Seriously, just do the damn mission. Its fun.

Ouchy, You still have to do the mission no matter what. the 7.5 Mil is not even needed. just the Missions. If you get a good group together it shouldnt be too bad. not sure why they put the 7.5 Mil in I tinhk at one time perhaps they were going to keep that as a Requirement and perhaps they changed there mind.

The Master mission is soloable as a Neutral Pilot. There are a ton of guides on here.

The xp for the master box is meaningless. It's just like Tier 3. You finish the mission, you get the box. No xp is actually required. You have to do the master mission(s) to get the master box.

couldn't have said it better. you are going to have to do the mission as the exp means nothing.
I solo'd mine so if it's unballanced, it's in our favor.

Sorry about the font , it looked smaller before the post.
I think u people are missing the point which is: WHY HAVE THIS CONTENT IN THE GAME IF IT CAN'T BE USED? IT'S

I think you're confused...
Grinding on and on and on and on just like you did throughout tiers 2 and 4 isn't content. The missions from tier 3 and the Master Mission is content. And you're a bit wrong on not being able to "do" the content - you did it just fine...you just get no reward other than probably a good amount of credits and parts to RE.

Well to be honest I felt the same way about the Master Mission before I did it as well. It seemed like it was going to be a total pain in the arse and I couldn't find enough people to do it. Well I ended up actually doing the mission 3 times before I got it. The first time I jumped in late and helped a group destroy it but since I was not in the group I did not get credit for the mission. The second time I tried we had a very small group and really no one knew what we were doing, and so the vette ended up launching before we could destroy it. However, the third time I did it, I once again flew with the guys from group 2 but we also had a few experienced Master Pilots to help guide the group.
We went through and systematically took out the fighters, then the gunboats, etc. Once we had the vette disabled, it was really cool to see that everyone just stopped to make sure that all the pilots that needed the mission were in the zone, and ready. Then we destroyed the vette. It probably ended up being the most fun I had with the entire profession, and prior to the mission all I did was complain about the fact that I had to fly a mission that was dependant on other players, and I had to find x number of player, etc.
So in short, just do the mission. It's fun, you'll make a few new friends, and once it's done there is nothing else (content wise) for you to do, so just go have some fun with it.

Question: 7.5 million Exp Now What?
Answer: You wasted your time, go do the last 2 missions. Go to Kessel, kill 30 baddies. Return to mission giver. Go to Kessel, blow up the Corvette. return to mission giver. Welcome to bveing an Ace pilot. Not to be nasty or flame you or anything but there's about 10 guides on how to master pilot and they all refer to the 7.5 million experience as being a waste of time. The only benefit is that you will be one of few pilots that has 7.5 million pilot experience in addition to the prestige points you will begin to recieve.

Thats strange, when I completed the vette I flew into Kessle solo in order to search the vette out. My plan was to call in reinforcements once I located it. To my surprise the Vette was there and under attack. I flew in and attacked without grouping already attacking group. In less than 3 minutes the Vette was destroyed and I was given credit for the mission. At no time was I grouped with any of the original group.

deal is there that people think you have to be grouped when in actuality they just have to get a hit on one of the componants. people tend to sit behind the engines shooting them though and tha's rather usless unless you are actually at that fraction of a second when the engines are targeted. next time launch some missles into the guns or shields or shoot the bridge or reactor.

LMAO...I can't feel sorry for you for grinding all the XP since you used the really big annoying type not once but twice. I'm happy that all that remains to be done is the last missions, although I wouldn't made some cash and faction points grinding 7.5 million...I like the option of rounding up some friends and completing just (2) missions.
Again...in future the annoying white type...NO! Looking up a possible shortcut that can save you weeks/months of grinding...YES!
Thanks everyone else for answering this questions...you saved me a painful grind like bigtypeboy did.
