The gauntlet has been thrown down. I just soloed the Lord Cyssc mission without using bomber strike, pirate trap, iff scramble, or any other pilot tricks. Just a Rebel pilot, his R2, and an Actis Interceptor.

Who dares challenge? (Tomo, consider this a personal challenge to you )

There are a few tricks that help with getting through the mission. I nearly successfully soloed it the first time I tried it, but Lord Cyssc's cruiser, the last ship, hypered out while disabled. I wasn't happy. What followed was a string of screw ups...every time I tried it after that first time I did something stupid, like forget to load chaff, or forget a droid program, and so forth. On my successful run, I'd actually screwed up again...I only had two chaff left and forgot to reload. It is doable solo, though, without any pilot specials.
