Just failed my mission after being almost 2 hours into it. This is the most frustrating thing that you cant land or take a break for a second in these. Also no one makes sheilds for me that are level 5 certified. I havent looted any decent component through my whole grind to the point that i am at. 2 god damn hours and then i fail because my shields suck and the spawns are just to fast. The mission just never ends. Theres a destroy, escort, escort, destroy, disable, escort then defend for 7 minutes, then destroy then a dock but theres like 50 tier 3 ships to kill first. I cant even get my friends to fly with me for 2 hours. They all say its to easy and not worth their time, or theyll get to bored. And i cant really do this solo. I get close.

Why cant the hard parts of the mission be at the begining so that you fail right away, not two hours into it.

Well, the Tier 3 missions have to be that hard and lengthy because it's all you do for an entire tier.

Really the secret is to bring others, it's a shame that your friends are unwilling to help, but Tier3+ isn't designed for solo play.

Yeah, I got REALLY lucky in having a master pilot friend who'd help me every night. I'm still stunned by people who say "you can ace in 3 days, max!" that's insane.

My alt is going for master too, she's 3333 and grinding the xp alone is a nightmare, but her red x-wing is nice

The truly sad part of that, was that your friends were unwilling to help. Sure, we've all struggled with equipement, and struggled with long (at times boring) tier 3 missions. But thats just part of it. There are Tier 3 missions that all (but the most uber of players) need help with. I feel for ya.

I got help on the first tier 3 mission, I was close to giving up I failed it so many times. A stanger helped me and it took a fraction of the time. The rest of tier3 and tier 4 I did solo, then got help on the corvette master mission. Hang in there, its worth it.

IMO it sucks that the missions are manditory to lvl up. I would prefer to grind xp and fill the boxes that way, even if it takes alot longer. I cant be trained or anything until I complete those stupid missions no matter how much xp i have. Im kinda a lone wolf anyways and rarly have "friends" to help w/ missions.

I also like missions that are somewhat realistic. Never ending wave upon wave of fighters is just stupid. Its like the devs got tired of ppl complaining abt running out of content so they made the new content too hard for the casual solo gamer.

Also .......... The game does advertise (when u install it) that you can go as a group or solo. I dont believe any mission should be too hard for the casual gamer to solo if that mission is manditory for your charater to advance. Im not against group missions, just not manditory group missions to lvl for the casual gamer.

There is no way you soloed the "Steal Weapons Shipment" mission. I have treid that mission 20 times and the result is always the same.....get to the end, get jumped by multiple waves of ships (3 ships per have). Im ready to give up.

Yep, they make missions like this so people will quit. I ready to myself. I cant get Tier 3 Mission 2 CoreSec done. They set up the ships so you cant get the stuff you need due weight. Get good armor and you have to lean out the window and throw rocks for weapons. get good wepons and you last about 10 secs when they attack. Its a joke.

hmm so storm squadron is tuff eh?

I ran part of that and yes i agree it is exactly way to friggen long. but i found the idiots you gotta fly by to be the most annoying aspect of it. that repeated message gets damn old, you think thats it fool? or something to that affect, after awhile i was just saying smart crap to keep it light for my buddy.
Personally from what i saw, disable would be the key.

might change me tune once i get the imp pilot rolling, but will see...

forgot my point. anyways i disabled, while he cleaned up, if it wasnt for a lucky shot that killed my near dead cap we would of made it easily.
so i know two minimum would cut it. now that i rebuilt my badly banged up ship tis time to re attack that before me bud has a herd of cows. lol
