Last night I was doing a (non-duty) Tier four smuggler mission. (I'm 3434 Privateer so far).
I had to first rescue a Black Sun transport from Imperial custody, and when it was safe, steal a Lambda shuttle, all under heavy Imperial attack. Once both ships had gotten away my mission changed to "Escape the Imperial Attack".
Hopefully by now you may recognise the mission. After the first wave of the Imperial attack was taken care of, two tier 4 Imperial gun ships arrived. My wingman and I were instantly blown out of the sky. So I assumed that I'd failed the mission. However, upon returning to my trainer on Dathormir, I was rewarded for completing the mission!
Has anyone else had similar?
Also, how would two tier 4 pilots take out two tier 4 imperial gunships? (for future reference!).
P.S.
Wouldn't it be cool if we could have gunships as a MultiPlayer ship

was doing that mission myself a few nights back. as the gunships warped in i hit the throttle and my booster and got the hell out of dodge as it said "escape" so i figured it just meant run the hell away cos yer screwed if you dont. i guess thats just how its intended to be though seeing as you died it shoulda been a fail /shrug

As long as you survive the first wave...it's a success.
You basically succeed the mission at the time the Gunboats come in. The idea behind it is to see those ships and bug the crap out.

I see. The mission had been so intense that by the time I'd gotten to that point, I was feeling rather cocky.
During the first transport capture my rear armour had been totally chewed up, and I'd taken internal damage, so much that I had the eject button on screen. Despite that I kept fighting and surviving. (Went to station to repair on the way to get the lambda shuttle).

I don't like hitting the Eject button. I would rather fight to the "death
I did that mission a while ago...but I remember having no armor, and only one blaster left....Was just trying to survive long enough...waiting for a mission complete message....then the Gunboats hypered in....I almost soiled my shorts. Kicked in eThrust, and boosters while hitting H to get the <censored> out of Dodge.

Im the same. if im gonna die im gonna die. i dont use eject.
as for that mission i did it two nights back and had no problems with it at all. As soon as the gunboats arrived i hit pirate trap one to keep em busy hit full throttle my booster and iffscramble. made it out fine.
the one after that however bored me to tears. you know the one where you capture the valarian freighter and escort it around(endor or lok maybe?) to a hyper point whilst getting attacked by 6 tier 4 kimigolas at a time.
it wasnt a hard mission but i literally followed the freighter for 40 minutes or more. snore fest.
