Are these named target missions harder?

Hey guys,

I'm just getting the hang of my new viper. It's mostly standard except I added two multi-canons.

I've been doing some bounty hunting and, so far, everything I see dies in seconds. Including Anacondas.

Then I got this 150K+ mission to go and kill one particular guy. I mean, he's the first elite Anaconda I've run into, but those turrets just seemed able to hit you from anywhere, leaving no sane approach, and I pummelled him until the guns overheated 3-4 times without making much of a dent on the shield.

Are these special kill missions specifically harder, and how would you suggest I tackle these in future?

Get bigger lasers - fixed beam works for me....:)

Oh, and dumbfires for when his shields are down.

Then just manoeuvre using throttle and thrusters, try to stay on his underside, pop shield cells when needed, and voila!

One dead conda, and the bounty pays for the reload, and then some.

PS don't forget to KWS him first for the extra cash :D

Yep, gimballed beams on top, fixed multicannons on bottom, you can do it without shield cells to make some money to start with but you have to be careful, and as teaurn says get close on the underside. If your shields go retreat even if he's down at 10% as the turrets will get you - I know from experience.
