How am i supposed to damage the shields? Do i need missiles?
My blasters didn't do a thing to the shields
Also does anyone have any good tactics for disabling the corvette?

yes, you need blasters do damage the guns, but for shields and secondary shields you need missles (dont think you need missles for other major componets but could be wrong)

Guns will do for shields, but you need to aim Exactly where the Shield target is.
Shields on one side
and Secondary Shields at the other.

Take out gun 5 on the bottom. The easy way to take out shields is to missile them from the bottom side after taking out gun 5. If no missiles then come in from the right angle to hit the shield points right on. Once they are done then fall back and take out engine.

Bah, they're wasting your time son.
Kill the escort, then just come in directly behind the corvette. In the engine trail, none of the turrets can hit you, even the number five. Take out the two shield generators with missiles, shoot out the engines, and leave all the guns intact, because when you have to escort it after, the guns you blow off are guns it can't use to defend itself later.

The shields can be easily taken out with blasters, as I do it all the time and my ship doesn't have any missiles. After taking out gun 5, fly about 400m infront, and below, the vette...turn around and AIM at each of the shields while targeting them. They will blow easily enough. Then fly underneath to the back and blow the engine. The key to shooting the shields with blasters is that you MUST be INFRONT of the vette.

Im trying to do this one now, i can take the vette no probs but i always end up with the final wave killing the vette as all the attacking waves have to do is kill the reator and bridge and they never go for me instead of the vettes sub-component. Oh and i dont think i have a chance at the T5 gunboat, it slaughters me in a few seconds even with S to C shunt 4 and its always rotating so i cant stay in a blind zone.

nm i got 'incapacitated' and IFF'd at the same time, and somehow that bugged the corvette into invincibility mode and it trundled along to the station irreguardless of the 3 gunships pwning it 
mission accomplished.
mission accomplished.DId loose about 100-400 hitpoints/armor on all my components from my various attempts though

I just did the mission. I blew every gun off it out of habit. They regened as soon as the ship was taken over.

i don't think the guns regen... i've done that mission several times for guildies... and everytime the only thing that changed when it comes over to ur side is the engine works... even tho the engine is still techincally destroyed...
easiest way to do the mission is the missle trick... altho it still is an easy mission since this vette doesn't like to "dance around" like the one in kessel.
