Azrielis the mission is real easy no need for lvl 10 equipment.
The escort missions before you get the Vette mission are all pretty easy since they broke escort missions. hell i dont think i even chipped up for most of them.
The vette mission its self TBH is a joke.
Head the the intercept point, by this time the escort fighters will be miles behind, you dont even have to bother with them, i do just cause i dont like leaving things behind me to sneek up and cosh me later lol.
So the vette will happly fly its course, from well out side a click a way get your self possitioned under it aiming at gun 5, I like to get my self right under it and go in straight line and give it hell!
Sweep in take gun 5 retreat
Head out a click or so in front. Remember stay under the mid point of the vette so the top guns cant get you, take out the shileds. Drop under it again, Fall in behind the engines and take them out. Once the engines are taken out hold position. do not stray in to its line of fire!
Then follow it home, the spawn waves that attack are pretty easy, but if you have probs sit back and make them come aross the vette, she'll help you out.
Following these tatics the only time the vette can actually hit you is while your disabling gun 5, the rest of the time your out of its firing arcs so its easy pickings.
