/bump please =)?

Yes.

When I did the mission, the escort was straightforward, and the 'vette never died. However, I attempted it last night with a friend who had encountered exactly the same problem that you mentioned repeatedly. In the end, he stayed about 50m away from the Corvette whilst another pilot and I worried about the waves. Using this method he passed.

Don't know if this is a bug, or a step to make attaining a Crimson Tie harder, but it's very frustrating.

Hope this helps

Take out ONLY turret 5, both shields and the engine.

If you look at the vette once it's captured, the destroyed parts don't seem to be there (although they are). If the Bridge is targetable then it's vulnerable and the enemy fighters who spawn in front of it will hit it and end the mission quickly. And take out the bomb trucks 1st, Y's and B's are the biggest threat, so get them before they get their ordnance off.

Good luck, it's a great little ship

And be careful about using bomberstrike on it as chances are that the bombers WILL take out the reactor of the corvette leaving it again with just the bridge intact and very vulnerable during the escort.

However, if you don't want to taint your badgelist with a rebellion-badge (you get the badge granted ".. has been awarded the Heavy X-Wing") I suggest you wait for now, the royal guard tie isn't all that great except of the look (for example a craftable heavy tie is a better ship for the same tasks), I by now wish I'd not have been this impatient on ROTW Launchday, I'm very much expecting to be stuck forever with this terrorist-badge (customer service ticket was not successful, claims by the CSR that worked on my ticket were that CSR cannot change badges).

Just to clarify, it was during the "escort" part of the mission, not the disable that I have had issues with. The disable was fine, and my friend pretty much did this solo, but, during the subsequent escort

Understood, but the problem with the escort that you described is already caused by the disable part, you just need to make sure that not only the bridge survives but ALSO the reactor, hence I referred to "don't use bstrike on the corvette" as the bombers will in 9 out of 10 attempts KILL the reactor before the corvette is through the capture process.
