Pilot Archive

Yes, I soloed it with my Jedi Starfighter. It took a while, but flying at a 1269 speed really helped. I was flying too fast for thier turrets to track me

2 turrets on top, 2 turrets front, 1 bottom, 1 rear. It'll chase you so no real safe zones, but try to stick on a plane below it. Less turrets firing at you means you'll live longer.

To make life a lot easier, get droid programs. Check the pilot FAQ on how to use them and what they do.

Bring a friend, either as a decoy or more firepower. That gunboat can be a b!tch.

I was struggling with this and the Vak corvette mission. This is what I did.

Upgraded to a Rhixyyrk (so I didn't have to think about mass), bought some good 3k hitter weapons and equiped a 2k shield. Droid programs Reactor 3, Cap 4, Wep 3 and Shield 4 then just jousted with it. Flew straight at it with guns blazing and boosted (while hitting shield4) when I was about to hit it. Flew out about 2k untill everything had recharged and repeated. The thing went down in 3 passes.

I've got the advantage of beiong my own shipwright, but I just completed this mission myself. Here's how it went:

First time out, I very nearly destroyed the gunboat before it took me out. So I went back to the drawing board. I reverse-engineered a new engine with better turn rates and a weapon with lower energy usage. This allowed me to really load my Rikhxyrk for heavy combat.

I usereinforced Mark IV armor, shields experimented formuch stronger front protection, three advancved blasters and a MkIII proton launcher. Approach the gunboat from behind and target its engines - at this level, you should get a missile lock beforeyou are in range of the gunboat's weapons. Fire a missile and peel out. Rinse and repeat.

Remember touse astromech programs!Find an Imperial friend who can hook you up with Weapons and EngineOverload programs- the reason you may be failing the mission on time is that it takes you too long to get to the target in the first place.

Really, it's just a case of having the right equipment and knowing how to use it. At first, I thought there'd be no way I could solo it, but after making those changes it was EASY. I realized it wasn't the first seemingly impossible mission I'd had, and I managed to get through each of the previous challenges without assistance. If I can, you can too.

At 4-4-4-4, you've been making some decent money grinding xp for pilot skills - invest that in your ship, it will be worth it when you have to go hunt Imperials in Kessel and when you face the Corvette. That's the only time in my entire flight carrer that I had help, but people have done even that solo before...

I have Soloed the Reb and just last night the IMP Vette and I dare say that an Imp gunboat "chaser"is muchharder than they.

Man, let me tell you, Get some help. I did RSF and all of SA by myself except this one mission. That corsec GB is HARD. Not impossible, but why waste the decay and frustration when just having 1 or 2 other people can get it done easily?

If you're onAhazi I'll go up with you.

I have some advice to add to this: Target the gunship's weapons. Once you take out the weapons the thing is an easy kill.

I just did this mission with a group. We were less than coordinated in our attack. People were taking damage. I targeted the weapons on the gunboat and took them all out in rapid succession. Having 3 .300 refire guns with weapon overload three did help quite a bit.

I am uncertain which weapon is the rear turret, but my thought is that if you take out the rear turret it would be easy enough to sit behind it and finish it off.
