Can anyone give me some advice on how to do this solo? I can finish the first wave with my eyes closed but when the Nova and Gunboats turn up, I can't take them down before all the tie bombers are taken out and I fail the mission. I'm a 4/3/3/3 Freelance and my ship isn't the best (still using the dune), but there's got to be something I'm doing wrong.

Thanks for any help.

Blasphemy! Dune is the best ship.

Anyway, it should be quite easy if you a) get another Tier 4 box so you can use better guns and b) use droid programs (namely Weapon and Cap overload and Cap>shield shunt).

I just pulled the aggro on the Nova and Gunboat on me, and did my normal hit and run tactics against them until they went down. Took two tries though - the first time I was not agressive enough and was blowing up the last freighter when the timer expired on the mission.

Or get a buddy.

wait....if you already have your JSF whats it matter? All you get after that is 3k imp faction, right?

but if you want to beat the mission, then yes, load up your jedi gnat and remember to roll a lot. Missiles wouldnt hurt either, I'd recommend mark III concs to rip the shields, then disable the rear turrets quick as possible. In the Bel its almost impossible to hit when rolling and turning, in the JSF even doubly so. The thing is tiny. Its a freakin escape pod with lasers.

on advice, I called a bstrike against the gunboat to draw aggro. Cleared the fighters, straffed the boats till they were unarmed.
