We tried doing this with 3 aces last night, and had little success. The run down of the mission, for anyone who hasn't done it (all targets are tier 5):

• The Commander spawns in a cruiser with two ARC-170 escorts.
  
• A handful of tier 3 wookies in Y-Wings spawn to help.
  
• The wookies are destroyed in roughly 5 seconds, and the missions fails.
  
• Lord Cyssc shows up, and the mission continues.
  

At this point you have the original Commander and his two escorts, along with Cyssc (who shows up in a ship identical to the Dark Eclipse). He brings two gunboats and some Grevious ships along with him. They're incredibly fast (I was in an A-Wing with a pre-nerf L6 engine and even while boosting they were rapidly gaining on me).

There's two problems... the first being the mission ends when the person that takes it dies. The second is that all targets aggro on the mission taker. I don't care how well you can dodge fire, you can't survive two cruisers with 4 weps, two gunboats, and four fighters for long.

I spent almost the entire mission running. We managed to get Cyssc, but time ran out before we could get the Commander and the mission failed. We're all Alliance / Privateer, so bomber strike isn't an option. Obviously more pilots would help, but does anyone that's completed this have any other advice?
