We are screwed there because as soon as you try strafe 3 or another area shot they come from below, they come from all around, they come from above.

It's nasty. Just got slaughtered with what I expected to be a well formed group.

I got my Berzerker Rifle Schematic while I was in there though. =)

The Super Battle Droids have 148k HAM and did 5k damage to me in 1 sec (before armor reduced it)and it was only one so i dont think 10 rifleman would kick their asses. With 80% Energy Armor u still die pretty fast so you need Riflemen that have Doctor as second profession or a Melee profession.

Just what i think!

What ou don't have Strafe 3, best attack in the game, damages all creatures on the planet and does 100x damage. It is the portable Death Star attack, damn man you is out of luck.

Went last night...buffed, etc....got owned quite quickly

1. What everyone else says about strafe2 or ANY AoE attack....it's true The only time I think an AoE would be ok, was if you wanted to pull a bad guy away from some point that the rest of your gang wanted to get into and you could lead tehm on a merry chase until you died anyway. Call that tactic "Taking one for the Team" or "the Scapegoat"

2. There were like 3 types of ST's: low (13k HAM's light armor), medium (30-65k HAM ,medium armor), and high (110 - 150k HAM, heavy armor). The low end ones were easy, you can TKA/fencer the idiots. The medium ones, I ended up using my disruptor and did ok against them just auto firing. The high ones...I just died.

3. I tried the HS2 or HS 3 out against 150k HAM....ugh. I didn't try Conceal Shot, I didn't have the patience.

4. Somehow, we got the SBD/BD to agro the ST's. This was GREAT. I simply stood behind and ST, and auto shot them until they died, and then moved onto the next one. Took a while, but I was alone (the group got splintered...BAD, BAD thing).

5.It's almost tempting to just go up there w/o buffs, and just use Brandy, Canapes, Pixie and powerboost because your buff just gets wiped out anyway.

6. Mission...what mission? We had a mission? Really! Huh! I thought we were just there to die....often.

So far, I only used my T21 and my Disruptor.

guys when i said try conceal shot i did not mean try killing something without pissing it off. i meant try conceal shot while its thumping you and your group in the face. the fact is conceal shot, strafeshot 1, flurry shot 1 and or flushing shot 1 will cause effects and/or have better damage multipliers than the default attack. and they wont cause half the ship to aggro because of holes in the walls.

again try using conceal shot...BUT NOT TO NO AGGRO SNIPER IT...use it while its chewing your leg off and your group is pounding on it because it has a damage multiplier and is not AE. it also tends to hit the health pool more, which unless you are a mind attack group you will want to hit health more.

I've gone up twice and got killed mulitple times.

Don't use AoE. I didn't know about that the first time and had everything on the ship aggro me. It' nice that they come look for you too. From one end of the ship to the other and sometimes they use the elevator to come find you. This also applies to any Combat Medic or Carbineer in your group.

Having learned from my first trip, I mostly used FlurryShot1, FlushingShot1, StrafeShot1, ConcealShot and Mindshot3.

On both trips, I could not cause any effect on any of the mobs.

Due to the high resists on the mobs, I switched between my T21 and SG82 (which I bought specificaly for this). The T21 was used on the lower level STs and the SG82 was used on the rest of the STs. I did not engage the super battle droids and the rest of my group tried not to engage it (send in the pets). Our plan, which works by the way,was to lure them into some STs and let them kill each other.

So, due the high resists, high armor rating and inability to use high damage yeilding specials, I mostly tried to stay in the back ofmy group and hammer at whatever the Bounty Hunters and Commandos were shooting at, since they are the only professions I've seen that do the most damage to the mobs on the corvette. I also pulled aggros for the group, so that thegroupcould get away.

In the end, it is my conclusion that the current batch of FOTM professions (Combat Medic/Rifleman/Teras Kasai) do very poorly on the corvette. And that as a rifleman, be prepared to do minimal damage to the mobs on the corvette and be prepared to offer yourself up as a sacrifice for the good of the group by aggroing/luring away the thoughest mobs from your group. And expect to die on a regular basis.
