Waited for about 4 hours by the spawn point and no corvettes spawned today. The rebel one flew by a couple times but no imperial ones.

Sounds like a case of the mysterious tumblers.


I suggest you look at some of the Pilot faqs. Make sure you jot down the exit point, hop into you ship and kill the 2 gunboats you see dancing at the exit point.


And one other thing, shoot the Gunboats before you destroy the vette. They are much easier to hit, when not chasing each other.

You check the despawn for Gunboats?

Its a known bug that if you don't clear the gb's there the vette won't spawn.

It's one of the first things I do if I'm looking for the Corvette ... check one point, check the other point, stand off the entry point and wait.

Seems like a lot of the new pilots are leaving the GB's up as a matter of strategy. I got in an argument with one idiot after a number of us took out a vette, he was trying to claim we didn't need to blow them. It's also becoming common to check the exit point and find someone else there slowly trying to take out the ships.

The despawn GB's are easy to take out really. Just stand 550m off, and fire away, they can't hit you.

I'd agree with Higginsis. I've killed four tier 5 gunboats, all of them chasing their tails at the exit point, and they all went down easier than the tier 4 gunboat that I had to kill as my last Smuggler's Alliance mission.

That doesn't always work.

I've spent time in kessel to help guildmates with their master missions and had no vette spawn for over four hours. I've checked the despawn points and found no vessels at all, no fighters, no gunboats and yet the vette still fails to spawn

Very frustrating when that happens.

some times the gunboats will run off in a different direction than the exit point. I saw them do it last night after I helped a guildmate with the vette.

One of the two times I've destroyed gunboats at the exit point, I had just finished destroying the second one and was flying off when the Corvette flew past and exited the system. So apparently, gunboats being left at the exit point does not always mean that the Corvette will not spawn.
