im 4333 freelance and got a buddy who is master fl come with me to do a misison from lok to dant space. Lok was easy, hyper spaced to dant and then automatically got attacked by imps, and they kept comming. finally get to the destination and Gunboats show up, I am like wt-f! Then another comes! we died twice, and i died twice before my buddy came. Whats up with this?


Is it possible to just raise the xp and train and skip the missions?

meh, im pretty sure i soloed pretty much all of the missions for freelance - smugglers alliance/jabba faction. the main thing that annoyed me was when i did an escort mission and got like 500k experience at 1.5k or somn per ship. was like 3 or 4 escorts in a row, took freakin forever.

Hehe that's a fun mission, wanna know why? Every so often there's a post about it. Someone wants to know how to beat it. When you try it again, read your incoming message closely. It does in fact say you should get out of there, and there is no sysmsg saying that you must complete before leaving the system. Complete your escort work, and then run like a scared schoolgirl when the gunboats arrive, complete success.

Lol, yes, run away. Run away very quickly. The escorts were a b-tch but the end is very easy if you just run away

I went the RSF route for ace on my SW account and bar 1 teir 4 mission I was able to solo the whole tree in about 2 days tho1 of those days was double xp. My IMP Ace on my main account was much harder tho and took about a week of double xp.


Over all I would consider the freelance route to bevery easy followed myrebel and then imp due to the qualityof the various factions ships.

This actually holds true for other missions too - "failing" certain parts can open up alternate paths to completing missions that may be easier than beating all the parts....IE, the CP 4444 exit mission has you intercept a decimator with an escort....if you kill it, the next part is defending a TIE or something against waves of imp fighters, but if you let it get away, you get a second chance at it in another system, and thats the end of the mission once you beat it there.

I found a good rule of thumb is, if you cant beat a mission the first time through, try failing any part that doesnt explicitly say you cannot fail it. Escort missions are usually excepted, since it takes forever for the enemies to destroy your escort target usually, and running too far away wont trigger the alternate paths, but do things like let your targets get away or run away when swarms are attacking you.

I hate that mission with a passion. If you kill the gunboat, another will spawn and then another after that...


There should really be some text on the screen that says, "You've completed phase III. NOW RUN LIKE HELL!!!"





The good news is that the next mission is easier (I did it with one person helping) and the one after that is a complete cake walk.

You don't have to, just do like one shepard said to the other and get the flock out of there.
