hi everyone.
i am training with Lt Colonel Aqzow on Yavin IV. I think it's the 3rd mission. I have to go to Dathomir, and kill an imp elite pilot before he reached his destination ( he has 1 wingman). Then i go to Endor and patrol some wp's until i am attacked by 6 tie interceptors, (which i despatch with due haste). The problem comes on the next part. I am told to go help blue squadron, and i am given a wp about 10000m from my position. I always get attacked on my way to the wp by these funny looking tie fighters that have gunners in the back. Before i can kill even 1 of them i die. I have a y-wing longprobe with lvl 6-7 components. Do i need a wingman or a better ship? or am i missing something really bloody obvious? Any help or advice would be very useful as i am getting bored of being killed.

I think my toon on Starsider is about to do the same quest. Have you tried microjumping closer to the area to avoid getting aggro'd before you get to the target area?

Those are Tie Aggressors you are running into, try to avoid them as you make your way to the waypoint. Check your radar and make sure you are not flying into any red dots on it, keep targetting the nearest enemy ship and stay more than 1.4km away if you dont want to get into a fight.
Also, if you do get aggro'd by Tie Aggressors, use /iffscramble and boost away from them.
If you still get stuck, I'd be happy to help you out as you are on Chimaera. Sent a tell to the char in my sig.

If you do end up having to kill Tie Aggressors then always target Weapon 1 first, and be ready to IFFscramble and divert shields to front as necessary.

Just out of curiousity, what are your shield stats? I have just started tier three and I am in the process of parting up my ship with level 7 components.
Like the other poster said, if these fighters aren't part of your mission you should do everything you can to avoid them.

i'm at work right now, so i can't check, but i think shields are 1599 front and back, 550 ish armor on them, recharge rate of 12.

I'm on the same missions, and having the same problems... Shields on my X-Wing aren't quite as powerful as yours (only around 1200)
I wasn't sure if the Agressors were part of the mission or not, I guess I'll try skirting around them as well, since they really do a number on my shields

The TIE Agressors have a top mounted rear turret, that can only fire in the top 45 degree arc. The trick to killing them easily is to spin down and get underneath them as much as possible, that prevents the turret from hitting you. Its kind of hard to do, but the few 3 or 4 times you do it, can save you. And always target the reactor first on fighters, it prevents them frommoving, firing, and recharging. Plus in most missions, all reactor destroyed fighters, travel to a preset location, and pile up, and them automatically explode after 2 minutes, so you can essentially leave them and move on, and they will blow up on their own.
