Well, I posted last weekend about how far people think they can solo imp and the general concensus of opinion was all the way.
So far I have done fine, but have hit a v v v v annoying stumbling block. I have got the 3rd tier 3 inquisitor mission, the one where you take false plans to Dathomir and i can do the mission itself fine, but the bloody ships in the system that have nothing to do with the mission kick my a**e everytime!!!
The furthest I got was docking with the Nova, but generally I rescue the damaged Lambda (closely followed by 2 wings of tier 3's), take out them and do the escort but at the end of the escort some tier 5's are always hanging around to blow the c**p out of me.
I know they aren't part of the mission as they are not rebel ships, and with only cert VII parts I can't outrun them even with my booster. I have tried hyper'ing in at Dath 1, 2 & 4.
Anyone else have the same problem? Which is the 'safest' hyperspace point to come in at, always thought the higher the better !?!?
Regards

Those tier 5s are at the end of the escort portion? I don't recall running into them but maybe it's because I tend to be about 1k behind the ship I'm escorting killing the waves of attackers. How close are you to the ship you're escorting at that point?

Best way to deal with non-mission aggro is disable. The tier 3 missions for storm squadron are a lot like that.I thinkI had 8 disabled awings around me and 3-4 non-mission ships when I doocked with something last night.

The way I dealt with ships like this was to start the mission in a more deserted Hyperpoint. I think it was Emperor's Hand. Then, I would try to stay out of their interest range (about 1K).

Thanks
Managed to sort it in the end by upgrading weapon to a fast but slightly lower damage, RE Engine and Shield so just went in, did what I had to then got out sharpish.
Admittedly it does make it easier when your alt is close to mastering SW, even with just 4 boxes in weapons you can make a fast, decent damaging weapon

well... at least you can finish tier4 without any effort at all(except for the grinding)
you can do a 5 minute mission 4 times... But you wont get any rewards :/
Too bad i did it twice before discovering this... it struck me as a little odd the first time, and even odder the second time(same dialog)

Thanks, just the one tier 3 mission left but taking a break for a few days to get my SW upto master for Pub 24.
Must admit, compared to both Freelance and rebel i've not done too bad with the missions themselves so hopefully should be ordering a decimator fairly soon
Cya all up in the big black ...
