Now that I'm in a question-asking mood, I've heard that there is a renegade mission string starting at North Tip Station, but I can't seem to get it. My combat rating is ultimate, and the only missions in the Cresent I have taken are the Miranu missions up until I can get deliveries in the Cresent. How do you get these missions, or is this string a plug??

Everyone has a photographic memory, just not everyone has film.
The North Tip Renegage string starts at Hizdriar which is several jumps east of North Tip Station. If you do this string then you cannot do the Zachit string which starts at Zachit Station. Vice-versa, if you do the Zachit string then you cannot do the North Tip Renegage string.
Would you like more information regarding them or would you like to just do one and then do the other at a different point? I'd be more than happy to provide my personal opinion.

Aye, that's the final mission for the Zachit. Good on you for wanting to figure out the strings yourself, that's quite commendable. Good look, feel free to ask if you have any other questions.

Not that I'm aware of. As you stated earlier though, you've done the Zachit string. That blocks the North Tip Renegade missions off from you.
After checking it seems that your comabt rating must be Excellent and your criminal record in the Hizdriar is only required to be -1, or Offender.

I knew that you have to be Offender, but not that you have to have to Excellent to start their string. Ive done it except the last mission Attack Outpost Zachit. I cant figure out how to beat dozen Zachit ships, Zachit Fighters, Zachit Aradas, and even a Miranu Gunship (!). Should I max on SADs ,speed upgrades, put Dospect on my ship and a extra Phase Turret on my Crescent Warship? I got blown up when I tried.

I'll assume you're using 1.0.2 since that missions is extremely easy in the other two versions. The fighter AI in 1.0.2 makes that and similar missions (destroy the Rock for example) somewhat more difficult. Personally I prefer to use guns on my Igazra and I find that the five Phase Turrets and the Plasma Siphon make missions which contain lots of fighters far easier since it buffets them out of the way while you can take shots at them.
The speed issue is going to be your biggest problem due to the Zachit Aradas and Zachit Fighters being so much faster than you no matter what. It really depends on your ship preference and style. Out of the items you did list the only things I never put on a ship are SAD modules. Always get extra armour, the speeds upgrades, and max out on phase weaponry.

I agree with Pooty. Max out on guns and speed upgrades. I NEVER use SADs or SAEs. Heck, I rarely use a secondary weapon. Just make your ship fast and manuverable and you will see good results. Also, get radar scramblers so that you can dodge the missiles more easily. If you have plenty of money and are still struggling, I would recomend just hiring some escort Crescent Warships. Those'll help you do the trick.

Death comes for us all.
OK, ill try that, thanks for your advice. Dospect, Thrust, RCS, and Engine Upgrade, a fourth Phase Turret, and a Miranu ECM. Some Swiwel Phase Cannons with gun slots freed from SADs. I could do half of the Igadzra string to get the Igazra and Plasha Siphon. It is twisted when used at same time with Phase. Azdara dies before it can attack. Ill try 6 escorts if neither helps. And I am using 1.01, since I prefer easy fighters.
