krinaman Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Concentrate on taking out enemy fighters, don't worry about turrets on the large ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lokai Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 the point i think bioware needs to get is, this...almost no viable way to stop transport from being hit, turrents and fighters will always get shots off long before can take them out. Did this during beta and i can safely say its pure luck succeeding in it and will always have a sliver of health left and again pure frikkin luck. Also missiles don't even lock half the time either... done it with no upgrades but again pure luck... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is the first mission then i think it may be too hard lol Any tips please ?? I failed this a bunch of times until I figured out a few things 1) holding down the mouse button will autofire as fast as you can click 2) You can danage the transport yourself 3) focus on fighters, forget the big ships. You can usually tell where they're going to come from because you get a couple of shots zooming past you 4) Save a few missiles for the end. Even after you get 25/25 there's a few more waves and the transport is usually heavily damaged. You need to take those guys out pronto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enias Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 i'm in the same boat. I think I'm battling a bug of some kind as sometimes, a couple of hits from my blasters destroy a fighter, and at other times, I can hold the target over and see about 20-30 rounds go into them, and they continue on without exploding. Missiles take them down without issue, but the finite number doesn't last the mission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starwaster Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 I agree this mission was a PITA but I did complete after 6 tries with NO (ZERO) upgrades. On my last mission I gave the most troublesome of the capital ships several full barrages of missiles to her engines and forward batteries and was rewarded with a noticeable reduction of weapons fire on the transports final approach. That and concentration on my arcade skills during that period to take out the fighters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJvGalen Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 First two times I did this without upgrades, in beta and second time was this weekend in early access. After that I upgraded my ship and got missiles and the laser bank thingy. With upgrades installed I noticed I could do the mission again so I gave it a shot, unleashing my missiles on cap ship turrets as soon as I saw the red markers come in view. Just hold right mouse to target lots of turrets at once and let them rip. Doing that I managed to let the shuttle dock without smoke coming out of it They get harder though, I'm 21 Jedi now and I tried 2 different missions tonight. 1 was to damage a cap ship and I barely survived that, lol. It did give me a tier 2 laser thingy because I took out the turrets and shield generators but I was 4 fighters/turrets short on the bonus and my ship had like 10% hull left.

Diedel Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I can't even kill one fighter without missiles, i can hit it for 10-20 seconds and it just won't die. The only way i can get anything killed is with missiles, my blasters only produce a nice light show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is the first mission then i think it may be too hard lol Any tips please ?? Try saving your missiles for the end.. Watch the distance and shoot at the ships when they are still yellow dots in the distance. And lets stop down talking this player, he's in here in the noobie section asking for help not the elitist people who are better then me please post tell me how much better you are.

Pwarky Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Focus on the fighters, and the turrets on the cap ships. This is a pretty easy space mission as long as you focus on the correct task. I ran out of missiles the first time I did this, w/o any upgrades, but was able to get the transport to the dock while both of us were on fire. Second time, I more or less ignored the Capitol ships, they don't move much and the fighters keep chasing the escort. I was able to get to the end with some damage. After that I focused on taking out just the things that can kill us. Ignore engines, shields, radars, etc. Passed w/o an issue. Obviously took some hits, but this a great way to make decent XP in about 6 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRayX Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 (edited) I have done this mission like 5 times with no upgrades and not failed once. I thought it was super easy, one time the ship I was protecting had like 3/4 of its health left. One tip, look for the blaster shots coming from behind you, and that is the direction that the interceptors from behind will come. Also, if ships are coming from the front, you can see and kill them long before they get within firing range. You should be able to kill most of the interceptors before they get more than one or two shots off (which likely wont hit), and still have enough time to take out turrets using your missiles or just normal blasters. On another note, my first time I didn't use any missiles as I didn't realize I had them, and I was still fine.

My problem is that my blasters really don't do anything, except for a nice light show, but they just don't kill fighters. I am not sure what is causing it, but there is an open ticket that the mission can't be finished on some servers, so that might be the problem or it just is buggy in some other way (trooper ships btw.)

You may want to put in a CS ticket.. or email customer support on this issue. If you're still in the very low levels I would re-roll, I don't know what causes this to happen.

Rabekah Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Relax, don't over think it, just have fun blasting away the fighters, repeat and enjoy. You will find that as you tune in on how to hit the fighters you want to try and rip up the bigger ships too. Yeah I failed it my first try, then got it on a 2nd or 3rd try, then upgraded my ship afterwards. It appears that the fighters need about 2 shots each and the hit box seems forgiving. I'm not certain but either due to completing a mission the first time or doing a good run you will get some higher grade ship upgrades than the vendar is offers. Some of the newer missions popping in as I level do need a few goes to get it. Very satisfying when you see a capital ship drop towards a planet with no engines left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirGusto Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Yeah, i cant beat any of them yet, and i have all the grade 1 upgrades i can find. I think my problem is more of that the space combat gets to choppy for me. Which sux, cause i just bought a new comp to play this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just found out the i am not alone with the bugged blasters, another player has the same problem and most of the 36 in the zone probably don't even got ships yet. I hope the CS will fix it.
