Space Battle Guide: Ezran Outpost and Llanic Station Strike

Blowing up enemies in the icy depths of space never gets old in The Old Republic. Engaging in various space battles is the highlight of owning your own personal spaceship. To maximize your chances of victory in the Ezran Outpost and Llanic Station Strike missions, the team at Swtorhub.com has put together a complete guide including strategy info and combat tips.

The Ezran Outpost (Sith Empire) and Llanic Station Strike (Republic) missions are one of the two space combat missions you receive at level 28. The two missions are exactly the same with only the identity of the opponents changed. The purpose of the mission is to destroy a space station by taking out its various systems (hangar bays, turrets, shield generators, and antennae). Overall, this mission is exactly the same as Cartel Listening Station (Sith) and Balosar Outpost (Republic), but with a higher degree of difficulty.

Strategy

The strategy here is the same as employed in the Balosar Outpost and Cartel Listening Post missions. Your primary focus should be on destroying the various systems of the space station. While the mission lasts over six minutes, you only have a limited number of flybys to destroy your principal targets. You should focus on destroying the antennae and shield generators first, followed very closely by the hangars. Turrets are the easiest to destroy so they should be the lowest on your priority target scale.

Your ship should have a minimum of Tier 1 updates across the board. The most vital piece of equipment is your Missile Magazine as that you’ll use missiles to destroy your primary targets. Another handy item is the Power Conversion Module, which you can purchase at level 25 using Fleet Commendations. This handy gadget allows you to reduce the power to your blasters, which makes your shields regenerate faster, or increasing the power of your blasters by cutting your shield regeneration rate in half. I like to toggle the faster shield regeneration rate after I’ve done a pass by the space station to quickly recharge my shields, and then toggle it back to normal when my shields are full.

As you’re flying around the space station, there are quite a few stationary ships in orbit around the station. You’ll need to keep an eye on these as you can run into them, damaging your ship. Make sure you fly around them.

As for the secondary objective, you should have ample time to destroy the required number of fighters as that they will constantly swarm around you and the space station. However, don’t let them distract you from firing on the space station itself. It’s far better to not fulfill the secondary objective but complete the main objective rather than the other way around.

This concludes the mission briefing for the Ezran Outpost and Llanic Station Strike missions. Good luck and good hunting.
