Get within 700m from behind, the fighters will agro, take em out then pull back in from behind, match speeds, approach to 530m and open up, just out of range of the gunboats guns =)

This usually only works on the non-mission spawned gunboats that have no ai whatsover, mission spawned gunboats can't be abused that easy as they very likely will turn around and open fire.
Yup the gunboats that are meant to target you will chase you around, those are much harder than random spawns. Kessel/Deep Space gunboats though are so easy.

Heh, tell me about it, i had said gunboat and escort in tow, all over dathomir.
Thanks for the suggestions all.
Oh and Kazer, i DID go to bed, i was too beat to run that mission again. ;D
EDIT: well just failed the same missiion 6 times, 40 minutes per attempt, only to fail at the end.
I give up.

Wait till you get to the Tier 4 exit mission. 1 hour 30 min per attempt on average. Squadron of fighters including annoying missle-lobbers, a pair of Nova Couriers, and a nice fat Gunboat that either blows you to hell after chasing you all over Dantooine space or poofs when you think you've finally won, causing you to fail again. Storm Squadron, all of the pain, none of the mass.
