I've been playing for 9 days now. I lost 1 last week and 2 trying to do this quest that was pretty fricking difficult. So difficult in fact, that Rhonnin was tossing away Kestrels like they were cordwood.
I love the Kestrel because I can hook it up with 4 missile launchers, set it so my vehicle will attempt to maintain a distance of 20Km from the group I am fighting and just lock and destroy each enemy ship one by one knocking off the closest one first. It usually requires fewer than 4 missiles or one volley to take out the pirates. By doing this, I keep out of their gun range (10Km) and don't take much damage. the only time I get into trouble is if they pop out of no where and are within 2Km of me. Then it is run like hell and toss as many missiles as possible back at them. If I lose 100% shields and 50% armor in a matter of seconds, Warp Drive Engaged!
