Snipe Hunt - Sandar has infinite shields?

[SweenMachine]

I'm flying a sandhawk with max reactor, shield, and four trion accelerators. I can take one (sometimes two) pip(s) from his rear shield, but by the time he finishes evading and my weapons charge back up his shields just fully regenerate. Is this some kind of bug where that bounty hunter I made the deal with is supposed to show up, because he said he was on his way and hasn't arrived for 20min now. This game was amaing up until this point lol, had a blast doing missions in the starting sector and getting the sandhawk leveled up but for this first boss to be this indestructible is kind of silly.

A full Trion loadout is a terrible idea for the Sandhawk, which has low energy and regen.
Mount at least 2 autocannons, you will kill things much easier.

Interesting, ok thanks I'll give it a go. I liked autocannons on my plat but found the projectile speed left a lot to be desired, that said I am finding myself right behind most people lately so why not have a crack. Thanks again, this is better than my current plan of buying a coyote!

Tried with autocannons, much better but still got annihilated.
Tried again, a trader and mercs happened to be at the jump gate, so we got him! Itractored him in and waited for Satchel to show up.
And waited.
And waited.
After about 10min I said screw it and looked it up, next stop is back at the station so I guess I'll try heading there.
"Left mission area," mission failed...

Thanks so much for the advice, but I think I'm just going to mess around being a merc a bit longer and then hang this one up!

Oh my god round 3 I failed the mission for leaving the area while literally dogfighting him. Yep screw this game, donezo.
