yes this is an extremely tough mission those tier 5's rip me apart ive even tried drawing a few away from the rest LOL, I drew a few all right all 6 of em lmao, what server are you on I am on wanderhome and play in the mornings, work nites, maybe we can team up other wise the only thing I can suggest and what I am looking for is a master pilot to give me a hand. If anyone knows a trick to completeing this mission I would be MOST grateful as I am going to have to buy a new chassis soon lol this one is almost nil from repairing it trying to complete this mission and the one before it.

You get the mission from "Beis" in Jabbas palace, it is the last one for tier 3 and you have to go eliminate the Rancor clans that are fighting the hutts in Dath space, the first part is 6 fighters tier 3 they go down pretty easy then you go to the next waypoint and the mission actually says " wow looks like the whole rancor clan is here" there are atleast 6 of them, I believe atleast 2 of them are teir 5 gunships, which is, I am sure whats taking me out in a matter of like 30 to 45 seconds, I even tried targeting a teir 5 to start off and still wound up dead pretty quick because trying to take out that tier 5 takes a lil while and I am in a duney with 2 weaps one is 1200 - 1600 damage the other is like 1400 - 1800 damage, I have tried using the energy pulse and I have also tried using the IFF I dont think either of those actions kept me alive more then 10 seconds LOLany help on this would be AWESOME tips tricks or just a nice ace with 10 minutes to spare on Wanderhome character name is Haannn Lobo. Master Smuggler/TKA/Pistolleer, and working on master pilot so I can get my millenium falcon YT 1300 hehe I am also looking for a nice friendly PA since mine is basically non existentent even though my city is still there outside Moenia.

I flew that mission last night with a guildmate of mine. With the two of us it was pure butter, but if I had to solo it I would say part of the secret would be that most of the T5 Rancor Clan ships seem to Kimo's which means they pack a punch but are big and slow. I would make sure that I had a more maneuverable ship like a Dunelizard so I could get behind them and stay there. I wouldn't try to take them on with say, another loaded up Kimo.


Hope this helps.

This is a tough mission, but I managed to solo it. There are two tricks to it, one which I did, and one which I was unable to succeed at doing, and one thing I didn't try that I should have, which would have made it a lot easier.


Trick 1: fly into the middle ofthe group and use E-pulse. It kills several of the ships, severly damages the tier 4s, and hurts the tier 5s a little bit.


Trick 2:(which I didn't get to work) pull your allies into the fight by getting the rancor clan to shoot at you and miss, hitting the Hutt ships.


The thing I didn't try, but should have: use your droid programs. Even if you only use privateer programs, they are very helpful. Use capacitor overload and capacitor to shield shunt. I didn't use any of these until the Tier 4 exit quest, and they would have made my life much easier.

this mission is really easy actually, i did it on my first time around. what you do is snuggle up to the group of hutts on your side and then take a few shots at the ranocr ladies, they will turn and fire on you but will also hit your hutt buddies, hence the war begins.

Now I remember, and I don't remember any gunships either. All I remember is having to choose my targets and fire carefully so as not to hit Hutts. I suppose I was lucky, the two sides engaged each other before I dove in...
