How can i defeat the star ravager?stuck!Follow

Oh the joys of getting your 1st helmet!

Yes there is a tactic to it, but well it all depends on how you fly and what you fly.

1st time around infact 3 or 4 times around there is no shame in getting more experianced asisstance. I Was terrified for the 1st 3 times i mastered, then something clicked in my head, and well since then many vettes have had nasty accidents trying to get out of the kessel and DS space lol.

Here's how i would do it,

First of all get your self to the spawn zone, sit your self out in the rocks 3-4k away and wait.

Once she spawns let her settle out and start a steady course. Once she all steady and under way aim for gun 5
(now this as it is the most important lesson to remember on the vette ***you MUST aim at the component not the ship***)

As you come in and destroy gun 5 you will also argo all the escorts, so making sure you stay under the vette, head out 2-3k and deal with the escorts.

Once you got the escort fighters delt with you only have 2 Gunboats and the Vette herself to deal with.

So staying under the vette, its important you stay under it, above it the guns will tear you up in seconds. Take out the gun boats.

I usualy do this by Starting wit hthe one right behind the Vette, aiming at the GB's blind spot on their Belly,
(aim at the back potion of the gun boat) run in shooting turn and run before you reach it, rince and repeat till its dead, once it pops, the second GB will move in to its position, Repeat the previous steps again till that you kill gun 2, then fall in behind it and shoot it till it pops.

Once you dealt with the GB's you only got the vette to go. Aim for the sheilds, (the sheilds are located at the front of the body between on the sides, between the ridges and behind the cockpit section) Head a lil in front to the vette, remember to stay under it, turn face the sheilds and pop them, repeat again for the secondary sheilds.

Once you got the secondary sheilds then drop behind the vette take the engines.

Once the engines out then you can pick off the guns, what i do i get under it and creap around slowly so you can fire at the guns without being in their firing arcs. This does tend to be the hardest part, its all pacience, or just balls out fury, both tactics work as long as you dont get hit lol.

Now you have a dead duck vette, pop the reactor, located on the top at the front of the engine section, destroy that then move to the front and pop a shot throu the main window of the bridge and you a earned your self a brand spanking new shiney helmet. CONGRATS

Oh and a further word of advice, if you under it and see it starting to roll RUN LIKE HELL! its better to get out of there and regroup than have to fly back to kessel lol

And i know your gonna get people saying use missiles/Space bombs!, expensive, waste of mass and energy for the most part for people that cant shoot straight or for easy kills in PVP, I personally find guns a decent load out and a trusty astromec/flight computer much more effective.

Hope this helps Althou i can prob help more if you post or mail your faction, ship load out and the chips you running.

Well last night using the above tactics, I Solo'd the damn thing and for the 1st time in a long time i didn't even dink the armour.

Admittidly i was using my "special" X wing parts, but due to lazyness i only running weapons and engine ol 3 (full set up designed to run 4 across the board and yes im sorry for you guys that they nerfed the high end reactors, your all really gonna suffer for that if you not got one already!) And i had a fair quanity of vodka in my system (which is prob why i didn't get dinked, kessel and vodka teaches you pacients or gives me the do or .........hi dant station lol.)

Just remember to watch for her rolling, She a ****** when she decides she wants to roll and wallow, lots of running to safe distance and re lining up your approach lol

Prove it! I dont remember there being a limit to vodka intake before piloting a X wing lol. Besides they would have to catch me to breathalise me.

And even if they could catch me, then it would take more than a vette with escorts to stop me lol
