The Vette itself is easy and I can take it out without getting a scratch on my A-Wing, but the gunboat attackers give me a little trouble. What is the best way to deal with them?

Try to take out the engines 5000m from your finished space station, (as neutral from Kashyyyk Space Station).
Then no Gunboat will spawn

The Best way? errr, one way is... not to deal with them at all they won't kill the vette. If you fire on them, though, they will chase you.

Search for jousting or strafing - lots of tips on dealing with agressive gunboats. Basically, be prepared to move around a lot and cap to shield shunt. Or do it the weeny way and disable at about 5k out, as noted above.

I tried to be a weeny and disabled 4k... still got the gunboats. I just agro'd them and let them chase me and let the vette handle any other fighters that showed up.

That's okay. In truth every time I do it with someone I try to be weeny too.

Exactly, dont deal with them at all! I experienced though in the early days and i think its still like this now. That once the mission is done the enemy ship left will all go straight for you...So i advice that once you complete the escort hyperjump like a fast squirel out of there!!

I got one vette when I did it, but it came too late and I got mission credit shortly after it spawned. Lucky too since I was in a crap equipped B-Wing. I have no problem with going the "weeny" method on this mission if you are solo. Maybe do the first gunboat wave, but after that, no thanks heh. If you want multiple gunboats, there's alway the tier 5 duty from the veteran YT-1300 around Kash station.

Do not declaw the Vette. Simply render it's shields and engines dead.
Then, when the GBs to appear all you have to do is stand back and let the Corvette defend itself. (Which it does pretty darn well.)
All you should do if focus on the enemy fighters that jump in.
Other then that, get a few buddies, load them up in bombers of some sort with a tube or two of Space Bombs, preferrably Mark II Space Bombs. Those will/should make short work of the GBs.
