Assassination rank up mission

cowasaki · Feb 15, 2015

Ok, I've decided to rank up in the federation and jumped to midshipman pretty much instantly with a couple of delivery missions. I've now been offered an assassination mission to go and kill X in a nearby system. The system is federation and the mission is federation....

How do you find this person? - Just fly about till he appears? Will he be wanted or will I have to kill him either way and deal with the consequences? Sorry but not done anything like this mission before.

Check out USS's in the target system, he'll be in there somewhere, or someone who knows which system he's in will be there.

Do note if he's clean when you start shooting you will incur a bounty against your name (and rep hit) if you kill him.

OK I found Gen Utley and killed him. He fired at me fire yet I still got a bounty! I got to the nearest federation station and went in under silent and docked.....

Woohoo BUT no rank progression and this is what the mission says:

Now I've no idea what is going on with it. Do you have to do more than one mission for a rank up from midshipman?

Did you go to Wallace dock in Mikinn to turn the mission in? That's what a mission looks like when it's ready for turn-in.

Ignore the above, I collected the same mission twice with one based at an anarchy system and the other at a corporate one..... I cancelled the anarchy one as I kept getting my head kicked in before I'd even found him...... Just found the screen where it says I've had another field promotion now to PETTY OFFICER....

Thanks..

Arrrrr, that explains it. I thought the cancelled one had disappeared. Yes I'm at Wallace Dock and got my rewards.

i'm just doing one of these missions myself, in my little Cobra. i get him down to about 12 - 14% hull and he jumps away each time. i'm going to go home, get my cannon-equipped Asp, come back again, and smash his bloody face in.

----> bah. what a gyp.

I have 3 ships now, a Viper which is maxed out as much as you can due to it's power limits (gimballed beams & multi cannons), a maxed Asp 120T trader/general purpose but with gimballed beams & multi cannons and a type7 maxed for trading.

I'm currently working through the fed ranks going from nothing to petty officer in a couple of hours by going to a federation station and taking every mission I could plus I'm also working up my cash ready for the new ships or buying a type9 and the next trader rank up at 93M Cr (I think)..... Less than 40M Cr to go now.

I'd like to be flying the new fighter and a type9 plus either my Asp or a Fur-de-lance depending on how good it is.
