Since my original post I have completed the rebel master mission and now I give unto you all of the data I have compiled on it.How To Sink The CorvetteSinking the Star Ravager is no easy task but it can be done with about a minimum of seven or eight players. Please be warned now that this mission has a time limit. From the time the Ravager jumps in you have about 30 to 45 minutes to sink the thing.

Wasting time will make you fail this mission, and trust me no one wants to have to repeat this thing.The Fighter EscortThe Star Ravager is escorted by a fighter group and two gunboats. The fighter group will engage you first when you come within 1k – 2k distance of the Ravager. You’ll need to knock them out first because they will be a constant harassment otherwise. These are all TIE variants, Interceptors and better. Mostly Aggressors and Oppressors if I remember correctly.

While they are a pain, the fighter escort is probably the easiest part.The GunboatsIgnore them. Yup, just ignore the gunboats because you don’t have time to waste on them. Once the Ravager’s engines are destroyed the gunboats will just fly away anyhow. Now if you are in a large enough group, say twenty-ish then sinking these guys may be an option.

My group was less than ten people so sinking the gunboats really wasn’t practical because of the time constraint. Besides, our victory shows that their destruction is not required.The CorvetteBlow up the shields first, focus on the guns second. Those turrets will blow up a lot faster once the shields are down so go after them first. Be warned now that you must destroy ALL of the subsystems before the Ravager will blow up. Once the shields and turrets are gone you’ll need to take out the engines and reactor. When the engines are down the Ravager will be dead in space and the gunboats will fly away.

I’m not sure if it can still hyperspace away at this point or not, my group wasn’t willing to wait around to find out (go figure).Attack RunsFor all phases of your attack you need to go as a group. If your ships take individual runs at the corvette you’ll all just get blown up. When that corvette’s guns hit you it’ll take maybe 2-3 hits before it’s chewing up your armor. I’d say 4-5 good hits at the most and you’re dead. Mind you when you make an attack run the gunboats will be shooting you too so those 4-5 hits will come FAST.

You need to attack in groups so that the damage will be spread out among the group. Then you need to hit it as many times as you can and afterburner away. Rinse and repeat. Also you should bring with you as many high damage ordinance weapons that you can.

Space bombs for everyone!Besides these strategies you’ll also need to know where to find the thing, so here is my original post integrated into this one.The master mission is difficult for everyone but I’ve got something that can help. Many Bothan spies died to bring me this information. Ok it was really just me in an X-Wing acting like a stalker.

Anyhow, I’ve now followed four Star Ravagers through the Kessel system and I have their entire flight path. Why four you ask?

Well actually they were spawning in a pair, that’s why.Here then are a list of waypoints that are the flight path of the Rebel Master Mission target: code name “Star Ravager.” Please note all of these points are approximate so don’t complain if your SR is 100m in a different direction.FYI: I’ve watched four of these guys jump out and into Kessel. Time between those two events is about 10 minutes. If you actually blow the thing up I don’t know what the respawn is on them. The 10 min is between the time the hyper out and hyper back in.Observation point: 7000, 5000, 2500This first point is actually a relatively safe (wasn’t attacked for over an hour) waypoint where you can watch the Star Ravager spawn in. Great for use as a staging area as it is about 5.6k from the spawn point of the SR.

Yes they are effective, but very dangerous.

Gunboats are nasty and the corvettes guns are worse. I always drop the gunboats and take the corvettes guns before the 2nd shield. You usually can find a sweet spot after the gunboats are gone where the thing can't shoot you, but you got a clear shot at the turrets. I have not observed this myself, but have seen it discussed in various other threads on this forum and others. If it is true, though it doesn't affect the current corvette assault group, it might be a good idea to go ahead and take the gunboats out as a sort of 'service' to the next group wishing to complete their mission. Perhaps initially, let the gunboats fly away, but after the Star Ravager is down, and everyone's 'kill juices' are still flowing, hunt down the remaining two gunboats and destroy them.

At least you won't have the time pressures at that point, and you will set up the next spawn of the Star Ravager.
