Bounty hunting bugs?

Twice now I've had the issue of accepting a contract to assassinate a pirate, go to the system the NPC is in, turns out it is on a planet, get near the planet and there's a unknown radio source associated with the mission, drop out of supercruise and.... nothing! Mission updates and tells me to go to the planet. I go to the planet and the same process. Unknown radio source appears, drop out of supercruise and nobody appears and the marker resets to the planet

Anyone else having this issue? Don't remember the first pirates name but the second pirates name is Alan (Plio/Dio?) I ended up having to abandon both missions. I really want to get into combat but this game's bugs are ruining my fun
 
If the mission has a horizons symbol (looks like a sun rising over a planet) at the end on the mission board it is a "horizons" mission and has a surface component you need to complete first. you have go down to the surface and scan the surface installation spawned by the mission (will be a blue target) data point to trigger the pirate spawn (back in space). If you don't want to deal with that extra mission "phase" don't take any horizons missions. Hope that was the issue.

It was. Thank you for the reply. I've tried a few of the planet side missions and nah, I won't do those again
 
When you said Bounty Hunting Bugs.... I thought you meant something else....
