Tried to solo this last night,found it much harder than the RGI quest.Had 3 gunboats on me at once.
I've heard that if you leave disabeling the vet till the last minute you have less waves to fight,
Anyone know how lomg to leave it before it jumps?

The gunboats spawn when the vette is pretty close to the base - you only need to keep the gunboats occupied, destroying them is optional!

With this in mind, I find it easier to just keep flying at top speed around the gunboats - firing a shot here or there to keep their interest. Keep that up for a few mins and you will complete the mission - then you can finish the gunboats at your leisure...

Whereas I personally avoided the gunboats like the plague then got the hell out with my ship when done !!

Managed the phat X-Wing AND the Vaksai in 30 mins that way with just me (4 4 3 3) and a master pilot in his own phat x-wing.

Have to ask though ... who in their right mind attacks gunboats !?!?! I have a tier 4 mission with 2 tier 4 GB's and they kick my a**e everytime, even with concussions.

another tip, somewhere in these forums (and i used it), wait till the corevette is 4.5k away from the station and then take out the engines. by the time the corevette gets the the gunboats spawn the mission will be complete.

patience, you must learn patience.

Bored pilots who want a challenge and good loot?

Try straffing runs at their bow, or search here if you're having trouble. There are lots of good threads on gunboat tactics.
