If it is not there, either just waste time and wait, or get into a X-Wing or ARC-170. When you have reached your hangar, land and see if your other transport is there. To do this even more quickly, do the boost, and if the enemy frigates are not destroyed yet, fly out of the hangar, go down a good ways, then level your ship out again. Land and get into one of the scout fighters in that hangar (for example, a Jedi Starfighter or Tri-Fighter). Make sure no one else is in it except you, then fly over to the enemy hangar. Get into a heavy transport (for example, a LAAT Gunship or Droid Gunship). Use a character that best fits your playing style. These characters include Darth Vader (Force Choke), 'The Emperor' Palpatine (Sith Lightning), and Count Dooku. Other heroes and villains are much slower with a lightsaber and are not as good at fast or close combat, but are slightly more powerful than the others and have a better understanding of the Force. Obi-Wan Kenobi, Darth Maul, Luke, Pilot Luke, Ki-Adi Mundi, Ayala, Yoda, and Mace Windu are recommended if you like using a lightsaber and running around. Some Jedis are much faster and lethal in terms of close combat and lightsaber skill. Even though you have a limited choice for each map, try to choose a team that has a better hero or villain. Also, some heroes are better than others. Instead of running around the map randomly trying to kill anyone you see, find a group of opponents, then activate lightsaber lock to block all their shots as you Force Run at them and then unleash a deadly combo while you are in their midst. Make sure to face your enemies as best as possible to block their fire, and use the crosshair that appears temporarily in this mode to better aim your ranged attacks (Force, lightsaber throw). You can use the 'lightsaber lock' to block enemy fire coming directly at you. This is useful for killing Jet Troopers as a Jedi or taking a out lightly armored vehicles or any vehicle low on heath that is higher up. You can also do lightsaber combos while Force Jumping by pressing Attack in mid-air. This is useful when clearing hallways or passages. This releases a group of moves that are much deadlier against groups of opponents.
You can do extremely deadly and long combinations of lightsaber strikes against enemies by Force Running/Sprinting into a group of them and pressing Attack while still sprinting. It may be very easy to kill people as a hero, but there are some special moves and techniques other than the standard saber combos.
