Man how do you solo that stolen ship? I have tried and last for about 4 shots if that long. I am curently 4/3/3/3 usning the adv x-wing or the necrosis ship. Freaking search function won't work on here.

you are using a B-22 or an adv X-wing...
so what mission are you trying to do? If you are trying to solo this for a friend, you can try how I do it
kill the fighters around the corvette, be very carefull and do not hit the vette, once the fighters are gone, get underneath it and park yourself behind gun #5
fire away and hope you kill that gun before it starts shooting (I have yet for this vette to take 1 shot at me)
once the gun is dead, fly ahead and down (assuming the vette is above you) get about 600m ahead of it and stop, turn and you will see the vette coming straight at you. It should be no chore to hit the 2 shields, as soon as the bridge clears the shields will be exposed. Once the shields are gone, either wait for it to pass and nail the engines, or get behind it and take out the engines. As long as you stay on the correct side, the vette will not fire a single shot at you. I have done this several times and it never fails. This also works if you don't use missiles, a lot of the posts I have read around here on taking out this vette talk of missiles.
For the escort section: just buzz around and kill the fighters, when you are done, make sure you are behind the corvette's guns so when the gunboats spawn, you can allow the corvette to engage them first!
kill off the fighters and when the 3 super fast gunboats are attacking the corvette, just get away from it and stay about 2-2.5 km away and wait for it to leave.
I have never once seen those gunboats kill a vette, they never aim at the reactor.
and avoid the gunboats after the vette leaves, they can move close to 900 speed
