Thread: Imperial Squads..quick question....
are you using droid commands? if not i would look into using these.
reactor overload
engine overload
weap cap overcharge
weap overload
cap to shield shunt
you can get the other commands from a privateer pilot by way of droid program chips
Well yeah, go ahead and drop Storm Squadron. You probably don't have what it takes to be in the elite Imperial squadron. I heard the trainers talking about how they didn't think you could make it anyway. But if you want to go ahead and quit and prove them right go ahead.
Or you could jump back in that TIE, power up the flight computer, and go blast those A-wings to pieces.
I dropped Storm Squadron because I couldn't do the very mission you are talking about. The trick is an in system hyperspace jump when they start mobbing you.
Inquisition does have you killing a Gunboat at 3/3/3/3. I died 6 straight times until the gods of the forums told me about the droid computer.
Read the HOLOCRON in game for how to use the droids. Capacitor Overload and Capicitor to Shield stunt are FABULOUS! (Hint: you don't get the skills to program the droid with those abilities as Imperials, but you can buy Ready Chips and burn them into the droid's programming!)
The trick to tier 3, besides droid commands, is to find someone willing to help. It's not always easy since the missions are pretty long, but ask on your server forum if there are any other pilots willing to help you. Most storm squadron pilots are always willing to help others do those missions.
Also, you mentioned having a Heavy TIE. That's a huge advantage over trying to do it pre-RotW -- most had to start off with a 40k mass TIE/In, and after training the ships box, you could get a TIE Interceptor with a whopping 50k mass.
