I just took up novice imp pilot and I'm trying to do the quest to escort the freighter. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. No matter how many waves of npc fighters I destroy 2 more show up. The freighter get destroyed and I fail the mission. I'm killing them as fast as I can with the ship I have but it never seems to be enough. I did freelancer pilot to tier 3 before I switch and I never had this problem.

Is it possible to get help from a friend on this mission or are the first newb missions still instanced?

Any tips or help would be appreciated.

Try actually timing how long it lasts next time you run it. In my memory, a lot of SS escort missions are notoriously long, some as long as 30-45 minutes. Sometimes it's only a matter of patience. Talk to you tonight.

What I do when I can't destroy fighters fast enough is to use the [ and ] keys to target their reactor and disable them instead of killing them.

what the last post said...and the added bonus to this is it USUALLY slows down how fast the waves come in.
