How do we fight stun type mobs when soloing?

[Sirmorte]

There are some NPC ships that have stun and once stunned, his friends kill me off. What type of ship and tactics can be used to take these guys out? I am level 12 with a storm ship.

Either play engineer/have one near to give you protector, which will cancel the stun, try to shoot from as far as possible to delay the stun and drag the unit far from its friends or take a tank that can survive until it unstuns. The tank could additionnaly use the taunt to attract a single unit from long range.

Thanks for your reponse. There are two issues/questions though

1. Are engineers immune to stun?
2. I am doing a white quest in order to get some BP such as taunt etc. I think that I have to kill the mob within a circled area and can't pull the mob outside of the zone to kill it if I want to get credit for the quest

Nope, but their "protector" item (dropped on .... custodian commanders ) which can be used either on themselves or any non-ennemy surrounding pilot will protect you from past and incoming stuns as long as it is active.

The circled area is only an advice about where to hunt the specified unit. In destruction mission, you have to kill it quite close to this area, but in BP mission, you can kill them wherever you want. Bonus, commanders, menders, and later death squads are not always in the given area since they move along a path or sometimes switch spot via orbit.

That is good to know. I thought I had to kill them in the circled area. I wish there were better instructions about this in the explanations or in a manual.
