Hello,


I'm stuck on the 3rd mission of tier 4 for Vortex squadron, You got to meet up with a spy flying a Tie fighter, Repair him, Then escort him. That's the easy part after that you got to stop the Imps from letting him leave the system, And probably more! the problem I have is you go up against a Decimeterand a hand full of other Imp ships at that point I get killed. So i guess my question is any one know how to beat this part solo? Or should I get help? Any tactics would be helpful!!



Thanx

I can't really give you any tactics for soloing it, seeing as Ihad tohavesomeone help me on that part of themission. Liberal use of cap to shield stunt 3 helps a lot. But on a positive note that is the last part of the mission, and the 4th mission is the easiest of the tier.

Just joust the deci.


2-3 passes with at least 2 (even easier if you're using 3 w/ the X-wing) good rapid refiring crafted blasters will mow throw him.


Just make your first pass, eat up his front shields and probably most of his front armor, and keep right on going past him full speed til about 1km or so, that'll give you time to shunt back whatever shields got dinged.


Repeat your pass, as the deci AI will inevitably turn around and fly right toward you again. After the 2-3 passes it takes to knock him out, you should easily have 80% total shields left and another shunt to use soon after - to get you through the fighter escorts.

sry I wasn't more helpful at first but if you post general stats on your equipment you'll prob get positive feed back


and I find at the lvl using a base X wing with 3 lvl 6 RE guns and best everything else you can get hands on is best load out for PvE stuff

Been playing for 6 months now and still learning about component stats.


I'm down to the fine details though

the only thing that should be any problem is that decimator but not so much a problem. get some missiles and take it down fast and the others will fall in order. OR you can pick off the fighters, keeping your distance from the decimator. if thatfails then i guess you have to have someone come along.
