I'd like to see one. I haven't seem much in the game that can't be soloed by a good pilot and even fair pilots can do pretty much anything with a wingman or at most a single flight. I have a new sqadron and I want to take them out for some practice flying together but I just can't find a PvE challenge for 13 pilots. Even 6 pilots.

I'd like to see something worthy of a group of pilots, and not too lagged.

Closest there seems to be is Lord Cyssc, which is easily do-able with a good wingman

Well, if they're green, how about the Tier 5 droid spawn at Endor?

Lol yeah. This was something I'm considering but only about half are green. Half the squadron could solo that spawn for as long as they wanted.

End of the ground-pounding Radio quest, otherwise known as the "Free Rroot" quest.

Yet another space quest my Master Pilot/Master Shipwright can't do because I'm not a lvl 80 ground pounder. . This is getting really old. Shouldn't the ultimate JTL template lead to the ultimate JTL content? If I could find me a jetpack I'm wear one everywhere just so my feet never had to touch the ground. I hate it that much. Mastering Pistoleer just so I could check my harvesters in peace was bad enough. All the uber loot since ROTW has been tied to the ground game.

You can't do the quest asa CL80 groundpounder either, so wrong one to complain about. You need a group for the groundpounding part whatever CL you are.


I actually wish there was much more content that required grouping. Now most people can't be bothered to help you, since they never need any help themselves other then Mellichae (feeling I have).

Try outthe duty mission that the Kashyyyk station gives out after you finish all the quests it gives. Its a standard destroy style duty mission, except that the "ace" wave of each cycle is Tier V gunboats that chase you. By the final way you have to take on five of the gunboats at the same time. Tomo and I managed to complete it with just the two of us, but that was with the help of Bomber Strike on the later cycles. If you don't use Bomber Strike, I could definately see it taking close to a full group of players to complete.

I would recommend the Lord Cyssc mission.


Starts with Carl at the start of Rryatt Trail, a few semi-hard mission on ground, then a space mission,
then a very hard ground mission and the final battle in space which is a real challange

I wouldn't call Cysscy that much of a challenge, a two-man job really.

simple..go out there with mk II shields and lesser blasters and see how long you can keep the spawn under control or even try somthing different.

One of these days, I'm going to solo that mission. I'm up to the point where three Nova's spawn. I can take two of them before the the third one has its way with me. I'm going to get those gunboats from hell. I swear it!
