This is the mission where you have to help the B-wings attack the base, can anyone help me get through this by my self (solo) or do I have to group with people. I cant take down all of those tie fighters down at once....

If this is the mission involving that Tier 4 gunboat, then all I can say is get yourself an A-Wing. Once you have an A-Wing, fail the first part of the mission. For the second part, just fly in circles while the TIEs chase you.

There's also a second option. Get four or five friends (only two or three if they have overload programs) and head for the gunboat. At least one of them must be devoid of all common sense (like me). Have everyone take out the fighters as fast as possible. Now comes the part for your sanity-challenged friend. Have that preson target the gunboat's engine and recklessly charge towards it with little regard for his own safety.

Normally I would not condone such actions but you try failing this mission 15 times in a row and see how much sanity you're left with. I hate thatgunboat so much.
/end rant
Now make sure your other friends are helping to take out the engines, as they will probably be the reason why your reckless friend will survive this part. After it's dead in the water, pound it to death from a safe distance. There's another part after this, but it's a simple destroy mission with no real dangerous enemies.

I did this mission last night solo and boy was I lucky! I used an X-wing for this mission since my A-wing wasn't ready yet. I failed the 1st leg of the mission and as Narreem0884 said, just fly around in circles in the 2nd leg and kill the occasional TIE gunning for the Rebel Spy. The 3rd leg of the mission is where I got lucky. When the Tier 4 gunboat came in with its TIE escorts, I found the Dark Eclipse hanging around the area. So I dragged the gunboat and TIEs to the Dark Eclipse. The Eclipse wasted the TIEs quickly and brought the shield and armor down on the gunboat. That helped me disable the gunboat's engine, I killed it, and I completed the mission.

I finished Havoc Sqadron some time ago, but I recall doing this mission about 10 times lol. I finally got so sick of it that I used a strange tactic. The way I defeated the gunboat was to use an escape macro . Start your calculations before you engage the gunboat, wait till it gets to about 50%, then start blasting him. You'll hyperspace to a different sector about 10 seconds later, hopefully with only shield damage. Make sure you only jump to another sector in the Dathomir System however, as if you jump out of the sector you will fail the mission. It's kind of zerging, but better than running the mission over and over and wasting your time. A much better bet would be to bring a friend though, or enlist a pilot willing to assist you from this list.

There is a much easier way to complete this mission. Let the gunboat destroy the fighters! You fail that section of the mission, but it gives you another one to make up for it. You wont fail the overall mission, just that part.
