Thread: Anyone got the TIE Royal Guard Interceptor?
The Royal Guard TIE Intercepter has the same stats as the original Intercepter except for higher mass (as far as I know).
For the mission..... instead of going all aggro from the beginning, take out gun #5 first, wipe out the escorts. then let the vette cruise closer to the station so that the escort is shorter. Basically the escort portion takes the vette close to Kassyk station. So if you let it cruise awhile first you don't have to face as many gunboats.
Make sure that the only gun you take out is gun #5. Once the vette is captured the hard part is keeping it alive. Having almost all of it's guns intact definately helps.
You can take out all the turrets you want to, pretty sure they respawn when the vette is captured.
Don't take out the engines until 3 or 4k out from Kashyyyk station (I forget which, sorry). If you get as close as possible, you won't have to deal with the gunboats.

I thought that too.
The first time I did this mission I wasn't thinking and pop'd a B-strike on it.
Of course the dumb TIE bombers just kept pounding away even after I had captured and was trying to escort it. When they finally left all there was left of the vette was half it's bridge, and the incoming waves from the front lined up perfectly to finish the bridge off, and it didn't last long.
When you capture the vette all the turrets respawngraphically but they do not function at all.
