This mission can be quite easy if you do it properly.

When you arrive in the are containing the probe there will be a bunch of R-41's which you should take down as fast as you can manage, using the gun turret autofire is a good idea. At one point MK will tell you that MUTR Pelican is making a move towards the probe. It doesn't matter if it picks it up as long as you're not too far behind.

When taking out the Pelican remember that it is carrying the probe droid. It will drop it when its hull reaches 50%, set your lasers to linked forward ('x' key) so that the gun turrets will not destory it too much. Once it has dropped the droid and moved away feel free to destroy the Pelican.

Once you have the probe droid you should head out to the next area. The easiest way to pass through this area is to dump all power to engines and speed through as fast as you can, at this speed the attacking Y-Wings can't keep up and won't attack you. You can of course decide to stay and help out but it's not really worth it.
