this is the one where i have to inspect rebel ships, find the one carrying bomb-making stuff, then kill an inquisitor, and other stuff i haven't gotten to yet.

The first time i did this mission i found the ship with the bomb making stuff, disabled it, docked (if i remember correctly), got mission success, then it says i have to kill an inquisitor but i get no wp. land and take off a couple times and still no wp. so i fly all over the place trying to find the guy...visiting the local imperial space stations etc...never find the guy.

so i abandoned that mission but it reset the whole thing...so now i have to find the rebel saboteurs (or whatever they're called) again. I tried it again...got to the 2 wps and after about 3 ships i found my target, but then he hyperspaced out...so i spent the next half-hour flying between the two wp's and slowly, one-by-one rebel (suspect) ships appeared...at least 15 i'd guess...none had what i was looking for.

so i have 2 questions:

1. when i get to the inquisitor part should i get a wp or do they expect me to scour the entire system for hours and hours looking for him?? (anyone know where he spawns if he's static??)
2. if i try this again and my target hypers before i can disable him will another one eventually spawn or should i just drop the whole mission again and start over? (or maybe just land and re-launch?)

The Inquisitor may be in a different system ... did it say where? Did it say you much complete THAT mission before leaving the sector? As for the ships to inspect, I'd think you would get another target sooner or later, it's probably just really bad luck...

if you miss the first suspect another will appear in a few mins.

the inquisitor is in a different system, dantooine i think. you'll get the WP after you jump there.

Well, Tier 4 is BOTH, actually. One million XP, then train, then do a potentially nasty mission...

/\ Which sounds like much more fun. I'm stuck on the THIRD tier 3 Crimson Phoenix missions, can't kill the **bleep** shuttles with the **bleep****bleep** heavy weapons, and the **bleep**six-ship escort. Grr.

For that sort of thing, I just do strafing runs against the heavy targets, and take potshots at the fighters as I fly through them, rinse and repeat. It's hardest at the start.

I just finished this squadron last week. The missions werefairly easy to solo. Anytime I was faced with a shuttle class ship,I went straight for it and ignored the escort fighters.With WO3 and CSS3the shuttles really did not stand a chance.Most of the timeI didn't even bother doing strafing runs. I just parked right behind the shuttle when I got in range and pounded it while hitting CSS everytime my droid was recharged. For most of the missions,once you take out the shuttle you will get a Mission Completed message. You can then either IFF and hyper out or stay and clean up the ships left from the mission.

Couple things : a) there were two shuttles b) The mission doesn't end when you kill them (I got them once, got shot up later). c) I don't know what CSS is


But I'm gonna get those suckas, I swear... I'ma get them good... grr...


It's jsut the fact that they have heavy guns in front AND back, AND there's two of them. Plus, they never miss...


Anyway, I'm just ranting now, so I'm gonna go... bye...

CSS = Capacitor to Shield Shunt. It is a droid program that you should be running pretty frequently if trying to solo missions, that and Weapon Overload. I am assuming from your comment that you have not been usingany droid commands or should I say you have not loaded any droid commands into your astromech?

I'm a Rebel Pilot... the only commands I have are affect shield charge rates, or shift power from front to back and vice versa. CSS is a Freelance skill.

which can be burned on an unprogrammed droid memory module and then used by a rebel to load into his flightcomputer/astromech.


Usually available pre-burned, check vendor search


edit: While you're at it, get Weapon overload 3, Capacitator overload 3, engine overload 3 and reactor overload 3 and enjoy the now easy glide to ace.

That particular set of programs requires a level 4 droid (or FC in other ships). If you're only at level 3, you might have to cut a few corners.

Very true. I held off on adding RO until I hit 3333 and never added EO. EO would have been nice but I managed just fine without it and honestly did not really need RO either.
