All I have to do is this last mission and I get a Valksai. Sounds so simple but I can't seem to complete it. Tried 4 times and failed. First time almost had the Vette disabled and then it jumped. Crap. Last 3 times the Vette turn and smoked me. I'm tired of trying it alone and finally and am asking for help. If your on Ahazi and can give me a hand I would really appreciate it. In game I'm Chopsticks. Thanks.

I had one turn on me once too, and if it hadn't been for a quick boost and shunt, it'd have eaten my lunch. Just gotta sneak in close while it isn't aggressive, pop its shields with missiles, and then shoot out the engines.Andpray that it doesn't turn during the5-10 seconds or so you need to do this. It's cake after that.


I'm not on Ahazi, otherwise I'd help you do just that.

I found it to be quite simple, actually...



  1. Failed once to get the WP of where it jumps, having heard its a standard rout every time.


  2. Took out the first group of escorts, but only disabled.


  3. Followed till we were within 2km of theWP from above.


  4. Still sitting behind, but lagging back sume, I sent 4 missiles at the shield and backup, the ship couldnt hit me back there and never evaded.


  5. Blew the engines.


  6. Cleared out 3 (?) waves of just fighters and the fighters that came along with the first gunship. The Vette hypered before the gunship could do any real damage.


  7. /iff to clear the gunship's aggro.


  8. Went back and got my reward.

If you don't want me to "play the forums," then I suggest you make time playing the game more rewarding and less repetitive than "playing" here!

Since your a neutral pilot and the vette does some times turn. Use IFF spoof to get out of trouble.

The vette was easy. Simply kite away the escort, shoot them up, and don't shoot the vette, and it may not aggro.


Stay below the vette, and do not come in on it if it is dancing. Wait till it finishes dancing.


Come up from below and behind, target the shields with concussion missles, once that is done, target the engines and diable it. The takeover will occur so sit tight


Try not to take out any guns as they will be needed for the gunships that will show up later


IFF works too

Uh, guys, the vette gets its guns back when you capture it. So blast away!

I did this very quest last night. The vette will NOT get back any guns you destroy, nor does it get back it's 2 shields.

That's why it takes such a beating from the gunboats.
