Yep, sadly its another corvette post 
I'm currently a 4444 smugglers alliance pilot and just the corvette off master, now being the silly bugger I am I didn't realise that the smugglers alliance corvette wasto take down the star ravager as I'm in an imperial guild so i am unable to get assistance off the imperial master pilots.
I've tried to look around in game for help and have been tried to takeit solo several times thoughI cant seem to take it down even with following the masses of guides telling you how to do so.
Enough of my sob story, I'm just wondering if there are any freelance or rebel pilots who would be able to assist me sometime in taking down the corvette as i'm at my wits end. My characters name is Ellias Ca'Rynth and I'm on the farstar server if your able to help, thanks in advance and sorry for adding yet another corvette post to these forums

Did you try the pilots in the Helper List thread stickied?

That's gonna be the best place to start your search for help. If you can't find any help there you may want to try posting in your server forums requesting help, I'm sure you'll get a few people that would be willing and able to help you.

I've done both, and it seems to me that the Imperial vette is the more difficult of the two. I've been able to solo the rebel vette, but have yet to solo the Star Ravager.
Key, for me anyway, is to strip the fighters off first, because you can kite them out and away from the guns. If you peg one thats on the underside of the vette to begin with, you can usually boost out without taking too many big-gun hits. Pick off the fighters, then dive at Gun 5.
Once that's gone, you're home free, really. Gunships, then missiles on the vette's subcomponents. Load up with Mark III concussion missiles. With WO3, you'll be able to take out all the components with a 12-pack.

I haven't tried soloing the Star Ravager yet. The blindspots on the rebel gunboats are larger, so it seems that the rebel vette is indeed easier. I went in a large group to get my master mission done (smuggler's alliance here too), and they did all the work.
Now I feel more like I earned it since I helped a friend (imp pilot) do his mission, and by the time he arrived I already had the fighters taken down. With just the two of us, we managed to finish the job with the vette only about 500m from it's end-point (it was already half-way through, at least, by the time I started on it). That was a great mission...

I managed to take out the vette the day after i posted this, used the hitting the bottom fighter tip, smacked it with a missle from around 600m away so managed to have enough time to pull the fighters without hassle.
Anyway i feel liked i've earned my master pilot badge after that and just wanted to say thanks for the replies.
Congrats! You've managed to do what most Master Pilots can't... actually pilot your boat and think tactically

Cheers for the replies guys, the main problem i had was i never seemed to log on at the same time as the helpers, though this is not a problem anymore.

Overall after destroying the vette i was pretty beaten up, with no shields no armour no booster and no capacitator (good job me missiles worked when the cap broke :smileywink so much so i had to jump out and get fixed up to destroy the 2 gunboats.
