Which is the quickest of the freelance squads to do? I'm dropping rebel pilot for a neutral so i can fly the yt 1300. So which would be the quickest?
Thanks for any help.

in my opinion, Smuggler's Alliance. Out of all of the freelance pilots in my guild, the only ones that needed help (besides the corvette at the end), were the RSF pilots

There's a really hard CorSec mission I helped a friend with that involves taking down 2-3 gunboats and 7-8 fighters before they can kill 1 CorSec gunboat and 2-3 fighters. I'm personally a Master Smuggler's Alliance Pilot, and had no problems with any of the missions, up until the 'vette.

The exit mission for tier4 SA gives some people trouble, and so does the mentioned Corsec mission. Why was RSF considered difficult? Ive done it, and nothing in my mind makes me think it wasn't the easiest.

I had problems with the exit mission for Tier 4 for the SA, too...until I realized that the CorSec gunboat you have to kill is neutral to you...and will remain so even while you kill its escorts. From there, you just park on its tail, unload yo ur capacitors and missiles until your shields start to fail, and then spoof it. It will go back to neutral, you can sit safely on its tail and recharge shields/capacitors. Hopefully, if you did enough damage with your first salvo, your second will have no problem wiping out the last shields/armor, and take out its reactor...which should leave it dead in space and an easy target for killing.

Coming from the Imperial Inquisition, which I have since heard is the easiest of the Imp profs, I tried the RSF next because I have a thing for Naboo, I guess. Three or four days to Ace with no help, and I only think of myself as an average pilot. Compared to the Inquisition, the RSF is a cake walk. I am hoping that RSF is the easiest or I am gonna be dissappointed in the others.

The 4th tier 4 SA mission is a cakewalk. It's a long boring cakewalk, but a cakewalk none the less.

At one point I was 3222 Imp (forgot what squad). After several, atleast 6-8 attempts by myself. And then 3 times with 6 other people I couldnt get past this one mission. So I quit Imperial and went RSF.
RSF is sooo much easyer than the imperial missions I had to do. The only time I had help was the exit quest. Two gunboats and a load of fighters were a joke with a few people helping.

not talking about the 4th tier4 SA mission, talking about the tier4 exit mission, where you're sent against RSF, Corsec, and the Empire. The Corsec gunboat is a tier4 chasing AI, and it gives some folk fits.

Knowing how some of the Smuggler's Alliance tier 4 missions work will help you solo them - even the one's with the aggressors, decimators and gunboats. The last mission I failed on first time but have since learnt how to deal with gunboats (or at least, rebel ones) so will try again when I re-equip my ship.
It's my opinion that your first faction will be your hardest. After that you start gettinghold ofbetter equipment. I reached tier 4 in Storm Squadron last night (allegedly the hardest squadron in the game) and, apart from the length of some of the missions on tier 3, haven't found it especially difficult. (I'm also still flying my tier 2 TIE/LN - the one with 40k mass - but have a pile of sweet RE'd components that help a lot). Will be trying my first tier 4 mission tonight so that might change my mind.
Havok Squadron (Rebel) has been by far the easiest to date. TIE fighters don't have shields and they make up most of your opponents on the first two tiers so all you need is to equip yourself with a good disruptor (i.e. high vs armour) and down they go.
