Acquired the Thread the Needle Medal.

How to unlock the Against the Current achievement in STAR WARS: Squadrons - Definitive Guide

This is found on Mission 13 and can be completed on Story mode. The medal is obtained by


I can confirm that you can reload the checkpoint if you hit anything and the checkpoint is right at the start of the run. There any no enemies in this section so damage is only taken by hitting the walls

I used the Tie Interceptor the Propulsion Engine everything else doesn't matter for the achievement.

I also find it much easier to Fly with Southpaw and inverted Y-axis and having Roll on the Right Stick makes this much easier. I've all got the Pitch, Yaw, and Roll sensitivities at 100%, this helps mitigate the lost maneuverability from the propulsion engines

Firstly, you can make it within the allotted time with full power in the engines and mostly at half thrust. The extra acceleration helps a bit but generally speaking, you won't need to touch the throttle.

The run is divided into distinct areas with a beam of energy running through the middle. There's machinery surrounding the beam with gaps that you can fly through.

The directions I took are: RIGHT, UNDER, RIGHT UNDER, RIGHT then through the circle hole at the end.

The achievement won't unlock until you get slingshotted out again.

I hope this helps.

It only popped at the end of the mission by the way.

I'd like to also point out that you can hit the walls and make contact so long as you don't take hull damage, went in with 100 hull on story and hit the walls but still unlocked the achievement. So don't stress if you touch the walls.

Theres a video on YouTube showing that you only have to take no damage going through the hole and again at the very end slingshot part and in the middle it doesn't matter. I tried that and it didn't work for me.

The checkpoint saved me at a point where it would smack my backend of a wall before I got control taking me down to 61 hull. Probably invalidates the run but it also flung me into a wall and blew me up at the end because I suddenly accelerated into the room with the generators or whatever in so watch out for that too.

Can confirm that taking damage in the central area where you destroy the core voids the achievement.

Seems to me that your hull doesn't take damage in this section in Story Mode. I whacked one wall pretty hard, but I wasn't hurt a bit and got the achievement. Just gotta make sure you're fast enough.

Can confirm that hull DOES NOT take damage in story mode when you hit a wall

Won’t pop for me. I got the medal in both Story and Pilot thus far, but no achievement.

Je confirme qu'utiliser un interceptor TIE, ainsi que le moteur bicylindrique à propulsion permet d'obtenir ce succès.
De plus, comme l'ont dit certains en commentaire, le mode histoire permet de limiter énormément les dégâts subis contre les parois, sans toutefois qu'ils soient nuls. Donc prudence quand même.
Je confirme également que subir des dégâts dans la chambre du noyau n'empêche pas de débloquer ce succès !

I swear I took damage in the core but still got the achievement. That said, it didn’t pop until the END of the mission, NOT once I was shot back out by the gravity burst. Hopefully that info helps someone.

Easy trophy.

Mission 13. The medal is obtained by reaching the Starhawk’s core in 40 seconds without taking damage (When they ask you to open a hole in the spaceship to enter) The goal is 40 seconds and maintain 100 health. In story difficulty you can hit multiple times without taking damage, so focus on time.

If you drop below 100 health, use the checkpoint without problems.

Task 13. One of the medals. Before destroying the rocket, exit the game and transfer the save to plus (I didn’t check it on a flash drive). Then we try to fly to the central room. I completed this goal after difficulty As. It worked the first time. The trophy will open on the statistics screen.

On easy difficulty, you don’t take damage from a light collision, so the main thing is to keep it within 40 seconds. If you think you didn’t have time or received damage, boot from the checkpoint. The main thing is to reboot before you reach the core, otherwise the CT will change to the core, and not to the beginning of the tunnel.
