Thread: Emperors Guards Tie Intercepter Mission?
- CopeI did most of this last night, right up until the missions from the Imperial station. The first one I believe failed because I'm just not a good enough pilot to deal with the Tier 5 NPCs when too many come at once. I only havea mediocre aseembly of parts in my ship...
If someone who knows the quest well could give a description of what you have to do at each level it would be great. I heard last night that the final mission do get the red TIE is to destroy a Corvette even...
I didn't get that far. but if I had no idea what the final mission was and I went alone I'd be in for an unpleasant surprise... I'm by no means a pilot that can solo that ship.

nah, disableing one after the fighters are dead takes 4 missiles and 5 seconds of laserfire. Maybe a minute tops if you only have one launcher.
I went, disabled the 'Vette, waited around for the "spy/agent" whatever to take control... then started escorting it to where ever it was going. A group of 3 Tier 4 Z-95s came in, we destroyed them... kept escorting, another group of three more Z-95s came in, I went to attack and *POOF* the 'Vette hypers away and I get the "Mission Failed: You didn't protect the Corvette" message!! Escuse me?!? All its systems were at 100%.... there's no way three Z-95s took it out in the one or two seconds before we got to fire on them. Heck, I've seen tier 2 or 3 tranports last longer than that!! What gives?

very easy to solo if you have bomber strike
Yeah, pretty easy once the fighters are dead. Like the guy above says. Come at it directly from behind where the guns can't shoot you, then target the shield generators. Two missiles a piece for them(you can hit them without ever coming out from behind the engines). Then one the generators are gone, target the engines and laser them off. Ship disabled. Boarding begins, don't come out from behind the engines till the ship is completely taken over. Once it is, you have a fully armed, corvette you have to escort out of system, which, considering it'll still have all its guns, isn't that hard.
You may get killed alot after its gone though. Tends to be alot of gunboats that come after it near the end. You can actually hide behind the ship your supposed to be guarding till it jumps out. And then you get eaten, but who cares, you already completed the mission!
