ok well the jury is in the verdict is I suck.
I have been trying this damn T4 3rd mission corsec... I stand no chance against t5 a-wings. I just seem to fly around in circles trying to get them in my sights long enough to get 1 or 2 shots on them then they're gone all along their buddies just pound me into oblivion... I am so tired of this damn mission i just want to through my computer out the window.
After playing the CU on TC playing in space is the only thing keeping up my intrest now. How on earth do i get better?

Don't bum about it. This is forcing you to be a better pilot.
First off, remember that most of the people who take this mission have friends help. The first time I did CorSec I failed it about 3 times. I asked some friends for help and was suprised at how easy they went down.
It can be solo'ed, yes, but it takes the right ship with the right configuration. Try using your Dunelizard and DO NOT run this mission without Engine Overload III (from an Imperial pilot) running on your flight computer. Also on the subject of droid programs, get a Weapon Overload III from an Imp as well.
The hardest part about this mission is that it's timed. The easy answer to get friends. The other solution is to configure your ship appropiately and become a master at taking down AWing. Also remember, you can always hit kessel and practice on the AWings there.
Good luck

Fighting off a cluster of tier5 A-wings is time-consuming, but doable. I was flying a Dunelizard at the time (no droid programs), and I configured my ship to make sure I had pretty good guns. If I came across a group of tier4-5 ships, I take out the slow, heavy ones first, leaving the small fast ones. They are a pain to chase, so I head towards one and the minute he takes a pot-shot at me, I slow down to about 1/4 speed, and let him rubber band around for another strafe. Keeping this speed, I line up my guns on his engine and lay into him when he gets into range.
I can take a lot more damage like that than he can. Once his engine is down, go get the others.

Yeah yeah I remember that mission. I got lucky
I was helping some friends with their missions. IN return they decided to help me out. I had 3 pilots with me....no masters and it took us around 10 minutes to take out all the A-wings. Than there was decimator escort...but its a piece of cake. My advice get at least one more player out there, he will keepat least one other a-wing off your rear deflector.

getting help for some of the later Tier 4 missions is a good idea... at any rate, you should be careful with one of the corsec T4 missions. I cant remember if its this one or the nextthough... just that I had to finish the mission with no front armor and my droid interface shot to pieces because i got overconfident near the end.

ahh the memories of finishing missions with the eject light on, hehe.
I am Smuggler Alliance master pilot so I didn't get this mission you have trouble with. However, I can tell you that having someone thre to swat ships off of your tail makes a huge difference. Grab a wingman and try again. And again. And again.
Eventually you will just get it, like it was meant to happen or something. That or we will see a computer go through a window in Suburbia, USA ![]()

Yeah I agree with an earlier post and strategy. I am only now working on Tier 2 skills so I am NOT claiming to be an expert. But I have taken out some Tier 3 and 4 ships (not as fast as an A-Wing maybe but tough) on a low end Dunelizard. I learned the beauty of eating away at the rear shielding of fighers and targeting engines/reactors. When you get the fighters armor and shields to about 50% (from firing all at the rear of fighter) you start to eat away at Engine and Reactor levels. Its tough, takes time and keeping them close so that they dont fly too far away to recharge their shields at the rediculous rate a T4 will, but it CAN be done. Once disabled move to the next guy until I got 3 ducks stuck in space. Then you just pound away until the go boom baby.

Joust! Joust like a madman! The only way I can get those little gnats is to run past them about 800-900m, turn, line up and start firing at around 650m, repeat. Cap-to-shield helps a lot too. It may not be the most elegant solution, but it works.

The pesky T5 A-Wings are fast little buggers,
if you can get a reb shield adjust program.. beef up your front shields..
that is what worked for me..playing "chicken" with them head on where they lose..![]()

And that sums up what you need to do. Whatever works for you. Doesn'd need to be elegant...just effective.
