You have to keep making runs in, if your lucky you can find a blind spot that you dont get hit much from. Thats what I found, took about 7 or 8 Attacking runs, between them restoring my shields.

I just finished the game last night in sp mode (lvl18) and in any of the missions you have to take out this that or the other, get as close as you can and find a blind spot as mentioned above, most of the time you can sit there and plug away...

or just take out the damn battleship, I got close with it, pumped it full of torps and my wingmen finished it for me

after that, I just sat still and blasted those shield generators away

Dude, where's my Super Star Destroyer?

I took 3 trys to get the sheild generators.

I got dammaged and caught up with the fighters at first and then took damage from the battleship while trying to take out the gens. Needless to say I was in bad shape while I was trying to focus on the gens and was easily killed.

Then I ignored the fighters and approached the sheild from underneath (up the tunnel) and for some reason didn't get any flack from the fighters or the battleship. I didn't take out the battleship but just concentrated on firing guns and missles at the gens and dripping counter measures.

The first gen went down quick, I got more and more fire as I knocked out the other gens, but not near as much as the previous attempts comming straight in from up top.

Also, I really had to work at keeping in range but not sitting still by using the "A" "D" "x" and "z" buttons to control my distance. Up to now I haden't done much slow speed manuvering but it is really required for this mission. Too close and you bounce off of the sheild to far and you are out of range and closer to the battleship, sitting still you are taking fire.

I was glad to be done that one.

Yes I know I was having the same problem but the answer is simple rather indead........
You have to come to generator from diferent angle it is probably after you desrtroy one of them you go directly to the point where it is market, but there is the catch......You shoud not do it lake that becoase there is allways an angle from where the enemy ship can not reach you!!!!
Good luck!!

Easiest way for me at least. After flying up through the middle fo the structure, you will see the underside of the battleship. Towards the rear of the battleship you will notice some nice fins/fans that project down past the ships hull. Sit right between these and start dumping ordinance into the battleship. The turrets cannot hit you here, and the low hanging fins protect you from incomming fire. After the battleship kabooms, the shield generators will be much, much easier.

Good Luck
