Keep an eye out for it around 6k 6k 6k (it spawns further out, but you don't want to be too near when it shows) and sweep the exit point near -6k 0 -6k for gunboats spinning in place.

As far as i know thats not true at all. The vette is on a 2 hour timer and will spawn regardless of anyone having the mission.
Yes you don't need the mission for the vette to spawn. I've soloed the vette several times in the last few days, and have been an ace pilot for several months now.
As others have suggested, you should check the vette exit point to see if there are gunboats there. You can get the correct wp from the FAQ i believe.

I spent over 4 hours last night looking for the Rebel corvette and it never showed. I saw an Imp one, but that was it.
Is there a trick? That is the biggest waste of time I have yet to encounter in game.

first thing to check:

now, assuming you do...
go check the exit point for the vette, someone may have cheesed their way through the mission and not killed the gunboats

Did you check the despawn waypoints provided in the Pilot FAQ? There's a bug where if the gunboats from a previously killed Corvette aren't killed it stops a new corvette from spawning.
Check that for gunboats, if there are none wait another 2 hours at least from when you checked incase someone just killed it before you arrived.

actually it is 1 and a half hours.... but I guess that could be server specific

i had 2 other aces with me, and they had several waypoints we were checking and between the 3 of us, never saw one. There were 2 Reb gunboats that appeared out of the blue a couple of times, but never a corvette .
