Hehe, it's not as hard as it sounds. I can take it out in 5-10 minutes using my heavy X-Wing and a few strafing runs.

The star destroyer is far too easy, IMO. I can solo it in a Y-Wing, not that I really care to.

Please. guys have been soloing that tin can since 2 weeks after JTL launched in October. Most just don't care enough to post about it anymore.

To be honest, I actually have a harder time with gunboats. 90% of the difficulty of the ISD is psychological.

Still waiting in the download queue.


I did this the other night (or something similar). With my tiny little Grev I was able to park up next to the hull to shoot out components (where only 1 or 2 guns could track me), and Shield-Shunt and IFF to stay alive. Worked like a charm.


Although an Imp player that was using the ISD as covering fire while farming Rebel fighters didn't care for me. But he was in a bomber, so that dispute didn't last long.

I'm a rookie in DS myself (only been there twice) and found I could solo the ISD yesterday in my Heavy X. I find Gun boats much much harder. The ISD was just time consuming but not much of a challenge. I only got something like 1200 or 12000 credits for it. No drops. I was a little disapointed so I headed to the nearest bunch of eyeballs I could find for a little more challenge.....)

I haven't done the ISD run since I was a rebel. It usually drops 15K credits and 10K prestige... (lame). I have yet to get a loot item from it.


And Ionly enjoyed solo in my Ywing.For those of you that want a real test, try it in a Z-95. Then post that you've taken it out. Most gamers (even if they are good) will give up because they havelittle patience.


Also keep in mind that many that say they have destroyed the ISD have exploited a design flaw (hiding under the engines or near the bridge for example).

I have solo'd the ISD in a heavy z, ywing, xwing, and awing. It killed my nova (big a$$ target). Don't have the heavy xwing yet. I suppose it'd be easier with a heavy x than a regular one since it would fit lvl10 weapons.

Err, taking down the ISD is not a real matter of skill. My A-wing doesn't even take hits from it. Or rather, it takes very little skill to take down the ISD.


As said before, non-track gunboats, that turn and follow you, present far more of a challenge that the ISD does, so I don't think anyone's real impressed.


If the ISD had 2 full wings of 72 TIEs each guarding it (as it should, imo) then it would be the challenge that such a ship was intended to be. Capital Ships on their own aren't meant to shoot down starfighters.

heh I just watched it after lunch. Anyone notice that "No Damage Productions" had to front armor at the end?
