OK, this is the mission that starts flying to endor, and defending the rebel shuttles from attack.
I've tried jumping in at 2 different waypoints, and this Tier5 droid fighter always seems to show up, just before the imperial ships, and reduces my shields and armor to next to nothing, so I can't survive against the imperial ships.
Besides the obvious "bring more friends", does anyone else have any useful advice to how they got past this, or if I'm just having bad luck that this droid fighter happens to be hanging around?

I had the same with Neutral-Tier4-1st nonDuty. a static spawn of 5 tier4 x-95 was always in the way.
I tried several time, but eventually asked an ace pilot to kill em for me.

Yeah.... vortex squadron, I hate those droids.
I'd recomend aproching your mission waypoint carefully.... try to avoid the droids completely if possible. Once you've activated the mission, move away from where the droids are and be carefull while fighting the ties not to drift back twords them. If you can't completely avoid the droids, I believe the ties will spawn near you, not the waypoint... so once you get close enough to the waypoint to activate it, use iff spoof to ditch the droids, and again move away from them for the rest of the mission. If one or two follow anyway... try to ignore them untill after you've diabled all the ties.... they're too fast to take out quickly.
