Thread: RSF Tier 3 mission looking for tips/strategies
I soloed this just yesterday, here are some tips.
1- upgrade your equipment! I can not stress how important it is to have good shields/engine/guns.
2-If you stay in range of the light freighter you will die.
My strategy was to start way out 1.2km or so, and fly at the light freighter at full speed shooting. Fly right past it, as soon as your not hitting it, hit your boosters and keep flying until you are out of range. If you are lucky enough to have any of the fighters following, kill them. Repeat this "fly past while shooting" a few times and it will drop.
If the freighter hits your armour on your entrance or exit pass without fighter help, then you need better equipment. Check your vendors.
Hope this helps.
I did this "Cadamo Sun" mission like 15 times before I completed it. It gave me an incentive to upgrade my equipment, like the others said, but the real trick for me was HYPERSPACE.
Set up about 1000 meters from the ball of ships andsetyour hyperspace countdown(select the third area, I believe -- it's only about 1500 meters away). Go in blasting the freighter with blasters and missles when the hyperspacecalculations aregetting around 50-75%. The goal is to get in a few nice shots, hyperspace, than return to repeat the process. As longas yourequipment is good enough that your shields are regenerating faster than the YT's, than this should work. Worked for me the first timeafter all those other attempts trying different tactics.
