With the timing issue on the 2nd or 3rd Tier 4 mission, has anyone Mastered Smuggler's Alliance? I dropped Master Rebel to go Freelancer, but I'm only 1010 right now, so I'd like to know if this is a total impasse or only happens for some pilots. If it'sacross the board, I'm going Corsec. thx

OK. Good. I'll keep on
So far, w/ Master bonus, it's been absurdly easy. Got to Tier 3 in one night

Get someone to help you with your mission.
Don't have to do missions solo.
Plus I doubt anyone could solo all the missions on Tier 4, when you get to it. Unless they had a ship with some damn serious components or are very lucky. (I think recent patches to JTL may have made some Tier 4 missions harder, or changed the npc combat AI on some of them)
(I think Imp NPC's don't listen to the "Don't drink and drive" message, dang those ships have some serious speed and turn rates, make them hard to hit, to the point that the mission fails due to taking too long) 
Plus its more fun doing missions with friends (or make new friends). Just shout for some help, I've found alot of people willing to help out.

damn, now i wish i wouldnt have had help for the second part of one of them. dont know what it would have looked like solo, but frankly, except for two "endless spawn" missions where new ships came faster than you could shoot them down (and where a small in-system hyperjump would solve all your problems) i never had any trouble doing the missions alone. of course the final master mission might become interesting ,-)

use the forc... er.. hyperspace, luke. jump into the system at a point thats a bit away, wait for 1-2 waves showing up, then jump to the point close to your objective. that way i didnt see anything of them for the rest of the mission and only a few waves during the second part of the mission (so dont think you will be done after the third delivery, there will still be a ship to capture, escort or something)
edit: if you dont want to do it the cowards way, disable but never destroy the ships. all that achieves is spawning tons of new waves long before you can take out the previous one.
