Thread: Help Requested on Tier 3 Privateer Mission

Currently 3322 Privateer. On the 3rd mission from Jabba's Palace. The object being, I need to dock with (presumably) 4 Imperial shuttles (I say presumably, because I have only made it through 3). All the while, I am getting gang-banged by the entire Dathomiri fleet, seemingly.


1)I have tried outfitting my Ix with heavy armor, shields, chaff and booster in an attempt to outrace my pursuers. No dice. I can make it through 3 shuttle pretty easily, but the 4th WP is 3k away, and they always nail me long before I get there.


2)I have tried gearing up for battle, and taking out each wave of enemies as I go to each WP. Problem is, by halfway through 2, they are beginning to stack up, and I can't stay ahead of them - they just keep coming. It's usually at this point that I try to dock with shuttle #2. Things get ugly from there.


So I have tried fighting, and outrunning. Neither seem to work. Am I just SOL for soloing this? The frustraing part is that I have the XP to train a box, but of course I cannot.

simple thing to do with this mission is when they start attacking you hyper to another point in the same system, and get ready to do it again as soon as they start attacking again. This is the best way to completeing this mission solo. I have been know to do this 3 times per shuttle. at some time after the 3rd hyper point in the same system. you should be able to finally just fly up to the shuttle. as a privateer or sumggler to me this is the haeart of sumggleing.


The other way everyone likes to preach is bring friends because its a mmorpg.

LOL, thanks buddy for that info. I was afraid I would abort the mission if I hyperjumped - but I guess if it is within the same system it is OK. I will try that.



Yes, I know, I should grab a wingman. I hate begging for help, though, and noone in my guild ever seems able/willing to help me on things like this.

do you use droid programs? especially weapon overload is a must.

Just finished the mission with little problem using the multiple-jump technique. I didn't have too much in the way of firepower loaded, because I wasn't expecting an escort task on the final leg of the mission, but I managed. Thanks again for relieving the frustration I had bottled up after failing that mission about 20 times last night.
