  • Practice your precision flying by parking your ship in every nook and cranny of the freighter without bumping

  • Pull up to full speed, make a 180 as fast as possible and land your first shot on the freighter

  • Pick your nose

  • Practise Hit and Run tactics on the freighter

  • Read a good book

  • Practise your inertia slides on the freighter doing flyby's

  • Get your nose even cleaner

  • While reading a book

  • Take out a wave of enemy fighters that finally spawned

  • Get some tissue because your nose started bleeding from all the picking

  • Post a thread about things to do on an escort mission

  • andfail your missionbecause your freighter took you intosome higher tier agro spawns while posting

doing the tier 4 missions for neutral eh? man are tehy long. the devs really need to do something about thoughs. i mean really the rebel missions take like 30 minutes to complete. which freelance takes 3 hours to finish one of them because there are 2 escort missions in it :/. I mean really the frieghters make a freekin loop around a spawn 3 times before it goes stright. they have to be bugged.

I remeber doing them and it made me want to just not master pilot and never go up into space again. but really. out of the 4 missions tier 4, 2 of them are escort missions. one takes about 2 hours to finish and the other 3 hours because you escort 2 ships :/

  • Pull up to full speed, make a 180 as fast as possible and land your first shot on the freighter Will have to try that.

  • Pick your nose Done

  • Practise Hit and Run tactics on the freighter LOL, but not much chalange

  • Read a good book Way to many times. I'm running out of good books.

  • Practise your inertia slides on the freighter doing flyby's Have to practice that.

  • Get your nose even cleaner Don.....I will never admit to it, and deny the previous experience

  • While reading a book Still denying any involvement

  • Take out a wave of enemy fighters that finally spawned Oh yeah, thats what i'm suppose to do right?

  • Get some tissue because your nose started bleeding from all the picking Still in full denial even thought i am bleeding at this time.

  • Post a thread about things to do on an escort mission Dear Post, once again i am bored by the escor..............

  • andfail your missionbecause your freighter took you intosome higher tier agro spawns while posting AAAACK!!!! Where did the Droid Fighters come from?!

  • Say many many profanities to the Pilot Trainer when told that you have to do the mission over again.

Hehe, if you like escorts try Storm Squadron- I swear the Tier 2 missions take you on a tour of allthe Tier 4 spawns in the Endor system! It's the only time I've died in the 8 Ace badges I've done - going LD in the middleof theDeathwatch spawn was not funny ...

Storm Squadron is insane with its escorts you would think the Empire used row boats to move around in rather then hyperdrives.

One of Vortex Sqadrons Tier III Missions is three stages, three escorts!! Absolutely awful. You would think they could at least speed up the spawns to make it interesting, but noooo, that mission took me near 2 hours I think.

hehe no kidding! Already finished Vortex, and moved on, but those Tier IV ones are probably the hardest so far out of any of the Squadrons Ive done. I particularly liked the one where you escort the TIE with no shields and have to deal with spawn waves of 5 to 7 ships at a time lol. That one was mercifully short at least, but a challenge nonetheless.

I gave up on the tier 4 2nd mission until I can get a small squadron together to complete it.

I never could understand two things about escort missons...



  1. If the escort target is supposed to hyper it another planet, why the hell doesn't it just hyper there and skip the current system altogether!?

  2. And why does it loop around the sector a number of times if it's so damn important to get to another planet!?
