Hi
A m8 of mine is having an exceedingly difficult time completeing his last tier 4 rebel mission and even with about 4 master pilots, and him gunning in a Krayt, the mission fails.
Forgive me for the rough details but cant get hold of him but I know:
- He gets the mission from the Hotel on Lok
- He goes to Dath to help an attack on a station, this part fails but goes onto next part anyway
- He then has tocover the retreat of the attack ships and this is where it fails
- If he is in his own ship the enemies instantly all go for him and blow the cr*p out of him in no time, ignoring other pilots
- If he guns in another ship the mission lasts longer but a message comes up saying failed with no explanation after several 'x% ships have escaped' messages.
Is this bugged or are we just missing something bloody obvious?
on the second part, kill the frieghters FIRST!. Don't touch the gunboat. kill the fodder, THEN attack the gunboat.
But either way, fly stright in and kill the frieghters. if they are chasing him. let them chase him. let him run. long as he doesn't die the mission continues. kill the frieghters. Then the little ones, then the gunboat. You should have it then.......

I've spoken to my m8m and I think you must be speaking about another mission as there are no freighters or gunboats, just fighters.
To re-iterate, the attack on the station fails so you have to cover the retreat of the attackers. You therefore have to keep shooting tie's until they have all escaped and it's the last tier 4 mission (not the exit one) from the hotel on Lok.
My m8 is registering with the forums so should b able to give more detail.

You said he failed the first part, but it continued anyway ... the advice is likely for the second part after success on the first part. The second part you're trying sounds like a standard survive mission ... his goal is to stay alive, no more, no less. You will get up to 2 waves attacking, so if you're having trouble, disable ships instead of killing. Also, have your friend just target ships for a few seconds, and make liberal use of CtSS (restoring shields being VERY helpful).
This was a problem initially as everything was targetting him, but the last time he was a gunner on a Krayt which was still in 1 piece when it just suddenly said 'mission failed' with no reason.
Only other suggestion I have is if there are any volunteer's to help as although several of us are master pilots we didn't do the same path as him so may be missing something. If anyone is interested mail Yiddo or Brama in-game and we'll organise something ... thanks
If I remember this correctly if you get more then 800m from the waypoint you are guarding it will fail. Happened to me several times before I figured it out. I stayed within 500m and no probelm finishing it.
