personal arms mission

I'm having the same problem, or atleast a problem in the same mission. 3 Cruisers are a tad too much protection against my little tug... I have installed the eoc patch 2, but the mission is far from easy. Or am I missing something?

No, this mission is genuinely very difficult, although far from impossible. If you are completely overwhelmed, you could always skip this mission, its optional and not part of the main plot.

There was another similar mission, optional like this one, just a bit later on. Found out a sneaky way to do that despite the fact that i had absolutely no chances against the cruisers.

Guess being a better pirate is all it takes . Why fight when you don't have to .
