didn't see any of this in the issues thread so here goes. please point me to the appropriate thread if this has already been addressed.
after getting my first tier done from the robot in moenia, i was sent to dantooine. upon acquiring a mission from the man in the "abandoned" rebel base, i launched into space... directly into a cloud of 4 or 5 tier three hostile craft. i died.
i figured this was a random thing, so i drove back to the base, got the mission again (it was considered failed when i was blown up), and launched back into space... only to be attacked by another (the same?) swarm of tier 3 craft.
tried this 5 times. died 4. was able to get away before they noticed me once.
not exactly a productive evening. is there anything that can be done about keeping mid or high level random spawns away from newbie mission areas? like the place you spawn into space from the ground? it would be nice.

i know its hard my sister acount is a rebel pilot 3 3 2 2. first if you have a few rebel pilot friends get them to help you as your wingman. two to save time do the mission from the space station. its two part mission. part oneis a escort a cargo ship. part two is take out like 8 emp ships all fighters. now the reward for this mission is you get some money not much but you get a new landing site. the abandoned rebel bace. its a trime saver

This is the same Squadron I'm doing with my Rebel Wookiee. First thing I have to ask is what ship are you flying? If you are still flying your Z-95 and not an extremely experienced pilot, you should look at going up to the Y-Wing. You can fit much nicer equipment in that, including a nicer gun which is very important. Also you can fit better armor and shields in, which will keep you alive longer. Secondly, don't worry about blowing up the non-mission craft unless abolutely necessary. Just disable them and fly on. I don't remember having to do that on the first tier 2 mission, but I did have to do that on my 3rd (could have been 4th though) tier 3 mission. It really saves you time and lessens the heat you take from enemies. Would need more info before I could offer any other suggestions.

Try this, travel to another planet and hyper to your sector. You might avoid the spawn that is killing you that way.

drakoon- i can't fly a y-wing. its like trying to fly a bathtub. yuck. and i'm dead well before i could disable the non-mission craft. they're so far above me they've got my shields gone in about 3 hits. 
orbac- i tried this. it works... some of the time. other times i hyper in into another pack. *sigh*
yodafans- great info! just wish i could actually complete the mission. i keep dying. i wish i didn't have such strange playtimes and could actually get guildies to fly with me. good info though.
good info though.
