I ran a quick Search on this but search on this board is so screwed it never works half the time.
Anyway, I have a character that did the Jabba Theme Park the traditional way, going into the Palace and becoming Jabba's best buddy through all of Jabba's employee's.
NOW, I want to do it the other way with another character.
I have been told that as a Privateer (Smugglers Alliance) Pilot at Teir 1, I can take a Mission from the Tatooine Starport up in space.
Ok cool, so I went and inquired at the Starport about doing any "work" for them and they promptly gave me a job for the Hutts. I was told to help the Hutts hijack a freighter by disabling it so their boarding party could take it over.
Once that was done, I was told to escort the Freighter to safety.
Hmmm, sounded simple enough. Except that once the Freighter got under way, I was assaulted by wave after wave after wave of endless aggressors trying to stop me. I successfully managed to beat them back every time dispite the fact that I would still be chasing down the last one per wave, by the time the next wave was triggered.
Finally, after maybe 8 or 10 waves... (thats what it seemed like) ... the Freighter sends its thanks, says all is clear and jumps to hyper and it seems I am successful.
But not so.
I promptly recieve a message telling me that yet, another Frieghter is waiting for me to disable... and...
See all of the Above.
I went through it about 4 or 5 times. It was literally about 2 and half hours of endless, non-stop space combat... and it finally ended when I just couldn't keep up with the endless non-stop waves and the freighter got blown up.
So now I am frustrated, and I go back to the Stardock to land and call it a night, and there lo' and behold in the list of places to land is Jabba's Palace!
Well now. I thought I had failed. Or was it that I was only supposed to do ONE of those hijack runs and its bugged and instead of ending, it triggers another run?
So I got curious and went and landed at Jabba's... only to find that I still do not have access to the Palace itself.
So then.
What more is there to the JTL Space quest that gets Pilots into the Palace, without having to go through the Theme Park?
Is there more to the Teir 1 Starport Mission or am I just supposed to go through this endless scenario of hijacking and escorting freighters until I forget how to count correctly?
I also, finally have enough Experience to finish Teir 1 and move on to Teir 2; but I am reluctant to do so in case I might have missed some part of the Quest in Teir 1...
At the same time however... an another Character, I am aware that the Starport will give out a Mission for Lady Valarian at Teir 2. Is this a continuation of the Teir 1 Starport mission... or again is their still something I am missing from Teir 1 to get me into Jabba's Palace?

ummm, it is called a duty mission, it just repeats itself over and over, you just need to do it once and you gain access

Ok; well then I did it once... actually successfully several times.
So how come I don't have access to the Palace?

If you are training with Smugglers Alliance, you dont need to do anything. You should automatically be able to land at Jabba's palace. Was that way for me at least. The only reason you should need to do any of the Jabba Theme Park quests is to get access to Jabbas throne room so you can talk to your Tier 3 trainer. I have never done any missions from the Tatooine Station and could land at Jabba's Pallace from day one.

You need to do the Theme Park Missions up to the point you have access the throne room. I think you know how to do the theme park!

Yes, the Theme Park grants entry into the Palace.
BUT.
There is also supposed to be a way to get into the Palace through Pilot Missions, for those who can't do the Theme Park... which the character in question can not do.
What I am looking for is information on the Space Missions that grant entry into the Palace; not just land there.
And no, neither of my Character's have ever been able to land at Jabba's.
My first character had to do the Theme Park in order to be allowed to land there, and he is Smuggler's Alliance. He was not allowed to land there until he completed the Theme Park.
My other character also has never been able to land there, until I ran that Mission from the Starport with the freighter.
I know there is a Pilot Quest that leads to entry into the Palace, I just can't find any info on it.

Right. Smuggler's Alliance pilots automatically get landing rights for Jabba's Palace, no mission needed. The mission from the space station is for access to the throne room. If you ask the space station for work you'll just get a duty mission which involves "endless, non-stop space combat..." until you're sick of it.
The palace access mission will be offered to you by the space station at some point during Tier 2 training. When /comm'ing the space station its usual message will be replaced by something along the lines of "hey, I recognise you, you're on a list to be offered a special mission" or some such. Taking and completing this mission gets you a special pass that will get you inside the palace.

Ah yes.
THAT, message.
My other character HAS been offered that Message at Teir 2.
However, it turns out to be a mission for Lady Valarian to assasinate someone related ot the Hutts. Thats the mission to get into the Throne room?
Think I'll test it on my Teir 2 character first.
edit - I don't know how my text got printed in Italics.. tried to edit it to normal but in the edit they are not set to be in Italics.

Ahhh... from the link in Myopik's post
Tatooine- Jabba's Palace
Available to: Any Neutral (might only be Smuggler's alliance), or any Ground Smuggler
Mission Giver: Tatooine Space Station
Details: In this case, I need to make a distinction. Landing Rights at the Palace, and access to the throne room are two different things. Landing rights are given to anyone who meets the requirements, after they finish tier2. Access to the throne room, without doing the Theme Park is a different story, here are the details on that.
Mission: If you are an SA pilot and watching closely, you can pick up a mission that will reward you with a Blank ID, for Palace Access. I was only offered this mission ONCE, and I took it. I had to drop Pilot and begin again to get it to show up, but it is there. When I was 2212, and had finished the final mission to get a skill box, it was an escort run in Tatooine space.
When you come in to land, talk to the Station Controller, and follow the dialog he offers. You mission from Lady Valarian (your boss in tier2) to take out a bounty hunter for her. Its a 2mission stringcan get a, if I recall correctly, and a little more difficult than the missions you are used to so far. After finishing the second mission, you are given a Blank Palace Identification that the good Lady "aquired" from one of Jabba's people (he was done with it )
Next, you can go about your business in Mos Eisley and finish up tier2. When you arrive at the Palace, put your name on the pass, and talk to the NPC outside the door. On the second set of options there is a "well I have this paper..." choice. Turn in your pass (wish you could keep it ) and you are in. Great for players who can't do the Theme Park solo, and I think the offering is still bugged, but watch for it and use it to your advantage.
Myopik, you sir are a true saint upon these forums with the right information, thank you very much.
