Newcomer / Intro spawn Imperial Navy Mission?

I ground my way thru to Duke status, but cant get a Navy mission to spawn. I have kept jumping back and forth taking missions, but no navy missions appearing. Tried solo, open, log out, etc. ...any tips on how to make one appear? thx, cmdrs!
 
Apart from doing everything you have tried for longer, all I can suggest is to go somewhere with even more Imperial factions and get friendly or allied with them all to increase your chances.
 
it just gave me an assassination mission, which i took, but i had no FSD interdicter to bring him down,and he didnt jump me
 
I can’t help with those as I don’t take that type of mission, I always used to wait until a mission that was of a type* I was prepared to do and that I thought I could do with what I had available turned up generally when the missions started to show up the wait wasn’t too long.

Though I should point out that I am not a great one for speed of progress so my idea of not too long might not be widely held.

Just an FYI - you never need an interdictor for assassination missions.

1) Go to the Nav Beacon and scan it in the target system. The target sometimes drops in with you, so watch out
2) Go back into supercruise - look for a blue signal source - head there to find the assassination target

ofc the target may interdict you while doing (1) or (2), so stay alert.

thanks, I did that. That blue signal source did not appear. I have done hundreds of assassination missions. I saw the target in contacts when I jumped into the system, but it did not interdict me, and when I scanned the nav beacon it had disappeared. Not even sure I will buy a Cutter; I have a tricked out Corvette that I use for combat... guess I just missed The Grind! I even flew the DBX back out to the crystal shard planets to top off raw mats again.

The only reason that might happen would be if the target fled to a different system. Which would still not need an interdictor, just the ability to drop into a wake 🤷‍♀️

any tips on using the interdicter? specifically, getting behind the target w/o it constantly flipping back behind you...

The Cutter is not to everyone’s taste as a combat ship, I use mine as an armed merchant ship although its capacity isn’t much different to a T9 if the haul involves several runs with more than three jumps loaded then its better range and speed give it an edge.
 
I made most of my initial bank running trade loops in a Python (a great ship!). when I got an Anaconda, I was disappointed to find how many trade loops would not work with a large ship. Or the supply would dry up quickly. And the Corvette will carry even more cargo than the Conda. It is fun to outfit and engineer new ships, and the Cutter is a beauty.
