I know that the imperial/rebel corvettes in kessel have a long spawn rate to them, but does anyone know how long they stay in kessel space once they spawn?
I ask since its a trip just to see if the right corvette is in space, then to call for help in destroying it, i want to know how long i have once it spawns, assuming you find the corvette when it spawns

From what the FAQ on top says it is on a 2 hour timer meaning you have 2 hours once it spawns.

Incorrect. What that lineFAQ means, is it is about 2hours between when the 'vette and all its escorts are gone from the system, until the next 'vette spawns (sometimes less). Once the vette is in the system and travelling, the route itself takes 30-45minutes, unless you disable the engines, then it will stay until destroyed.

So quick question, is the vette still having it's invincibility issues or can we kill the thing without missiles again?

The Corvette's subcomponents are now vulnerable to cannon fire, yes. Although, packing in some missiles makes the mission a whole lot easier.

when I was soloing the vette if you destroye dthe vette but left the gunboats alone ( which I do) the vette willr espawn about 2 horus AFTER the gunboats are destroyed( so fly to the vette exit, destroy the gunboats then it will spawn about2 hours later) but if the gunboats hypered out or you destroyed them I believe the spawn is at random. I remeber it hypering out then less than 15 second slater it respawn, and other times it would respawn in an hour after hypering.

Just to note that I killed all of the escorts and gun 5 on a vette just for grins once in kessel (and to add the escort to my friend's 30-ships total)... and it was stuck at the despawn when I came back 2 hours later, not moving. Needless to say we mopped it up in a hurry, and my friend had the easiest ace mission I've ever seen.
