I find it quite difficult to take down those gunboats. I soloed the corvette for the vaksai, but a gunboat is still a tough opponent. I do strafing runs on its weapons, boosting away, but end up with no shields too quickly. Any advice?

CTSS 3 or 4... keep rolling and target engines,if you disable the engines you can eather a: kill it on your terms or B: wait a few minutes and it will blow up by it self.

um. gunboats. come in behind them. their guns have blindspots if u stay behind and below them. u can easily take them out that way and never get hit. almost like shooting a disabled duck in a kiddy pool.

Rebel gunboats are simple, they have a Huge blindspot below them, Imp ones are a bit harder but still easy enough.

The gunboats that spawn in kash for the RGI, heavy x-wing and vaksai mission are pretty hard due to their speed and agility. The tip for these missions is to wait until your around 5KM or so from the station before you disable the vette.

The RGI missiongunboats are Tier 3.

Thanks for your input. I was talking about the gunboat that spawns during a mission in Kashyyyk space, after talking to the Civilian Protector YT. It is quite defiant, turning and following. I am using a lot of droid commend already, CTSS and also IFF, but got shot down quickly twice. I ll try again tonight with targeting the engines.

If you do not have to engage the gunboats to complete the mission (just don't shoot at them and they will leave you alone, their target is the vette). How ever once the vette leaves, they will attack you and then they will keep spawning at the station when you try to get the reward. (if you do not destroy them) Makes it a little difficult to get the reward, but if you come in below them to the station, get comm, collect the reward and booster out. Then hyper out of the system, you should be able to avoid them.

Or just IFF and sprint to the station /comm and get the Dell out of Hodge.

But that isn't killing the GB is it?

I am getting confused which mission you guys are talking about. Is it the corvette escort mission from the space stations rewarding the appropriate tier 4 ship? or the mission from the YT that circles Kashyyyk station?

Either way its the same class of GB. Its a PIA (Figure it out). They roll faster than any other GB and can run down most fighters. The blind spot mean squat when she turns over like an alligator doing a death roll . The Imp GB is alot easier but still hard as heck. At least I've killed those before solo. The ones in Kashyyyk are insane.

Those gunboats are fast and hit hard. Luckily, they have a hard time hitting anything moving over 1200 that's not flying in a straight line. Make sure you can go this fast without boosters when you do your strafing runs.

Awwh, just got done a couple of times... This is a toughie for real!

Yeah, forget going in into a blind spot - it just rolls and truns and faces me all the time. I target the engines, but not even once did I get the shields below 80%. Maybe thats only because I landed two Concussion III missiles.

My engines make 1179 now, but when I get a new chip, they will make more than 1200. I ll try that tomorrow.

Btw, what is a PIA gunboat?
