I got 1 & 2completed pretty easy solo...I did wait for over a hour for a WP to spawn tho...
Heres my question..In doing the 3nd Mission and im getting toasted before i can even get the 1st wave killed...By the time ive got the 1st spawns killed i got about 8 or 10 all over me...There spawning so fast its unreal...
I was useing the Dunelizard with no luck so, i updated to a Ixiyen with a supersized Hull (so, i could carry bigger stuff)
Im still getting wiped out before i can get the 1st wave over..Samething ..Ill have 8-10 all over me 
am i doing something wrong? is there a way to slow the spawns or out run some?
I was under the impression this one could be handled Solo but, I dont think 3 could take out this wave of fighters 
Any help would be nice, as i am stuck
Its called "Delever the Empires Gifts" I think

I had a similar problem on this mission. In the beginning there are about 10 waves of enemy fighters. But when you get to the third payoff rendevousz, you get another group of about 10+ waves, only each wave is larger. I managed to fight through the entire first group of 10 or sowaves, and got about 7 or 8 waves into the last grouping before having to bail out.
By the end I must of destroyed 60 or 70 enemy fighters, and I'm thinking to myself "This is just stupid". I destroyed tens of millions of credits worth of fighters, and they just keep sending more like a bunch of zergs? That makes no sense. But I guessDevs don't have any other way to make these missions challenging.
When I bother to try it again, I'll set up a hyper-jump so that when things get really bad, I'll hyper somewhere else in the system, then fly back to the WP. It will give my shields time to regenerate, and maybe I can break up the waves into smaller groups.

You didn't even have to kill them. Just boost from ship to ship (this was the one where you had to meet the three ships, right?). I made it through relatively unscathed this way (lost most of my rear armor, but no component damage). When you hit the 4th mission, you'll have an awful time. Took me 6 tries, and up to that point I had only ejected once. If you find yourself needing help with the 4th mission, I'll be around until tomorrow afternoon (it seems like it'd be a lot easier with 2 people). In-game: Sehvral

I happened to have a few friends around at the time, we took an X-Wing, one of those firesprays and a Riyararrrarrar....whatever, and my little dunelizard didn't get hit once. Just find a few buddies, and it is possible, if not easy.

I did this mission solo and had a very hard time with it at first. I sat there killing wave after wave after wave untill I realized that they would keep coming forever. The second time I tried it I just bulled through and got killed. So for the third try here is how I did it.
I flew straight to the first shuttle and docked without fighting anything. Once the dock was complete I called in a pirate trap. while the pirates take some of the heat get to the second transport as quickly as possible. dock, and head to the third as quickly as possible. If you get in to fighting the ships you could get sucked completely in and lose your chance to dock with the third and not take much damage. Once you hit the third transport do an IFF scramble and fly full speed to the next waypont. If you are quick they will not follow or lock back on to you. However, the easiest way would simply be to have a friend fly with you and take the wings while you dock.

ya this mission is insane the only way i wa able to do it was hyper out of it i same system the fly back i hpered out 6 times in this mission but evenutally i was able to fly back and dock with the 3 guys no problem then i had to escort no problem with that.
i attacked a few to get them down in the middle of it i got hper ready then hpered out no matter where you are they do find ya when they do hyper out they will loose track of ya some time.

This mission is not at all difficult, though I did have quite a bit of trouble until I hit on a solution. It should still work unless the something has changed significantly.
My solution is about the tenth post in this thread.
