Bulletin Mission - How Easy to Find?

Hi,

How easy are NPC's to find?

There's a mission on the board to Eliminate an NPC, they give his 3 known locations, but how easy will it be to find him?

It'll be the first of this type of mission should I take it and the time left is 1D 18H 42M, but I don't fancy going on a wild goose chase.

I presume my best bet is to hunt around the Nav Points in the 3 systems?

Any tips on such missions most welcome!

Thanks & Regards

You have to hit the USS's in those systems until you either turn up your target or someone who will tell you which system they are in.

That's what I didn't want to hear! :D

Looking for USS's is a real grind, especially as you can't mark them once checked out.

Might give it a miss.

Thanks

Nah, take the mission. You'll jump into less than 3 or 4 USS's before you're pointed to the right system and then another 2 or 3 in that system before you come across your target. Do realise however that you will be up against an elite anaconda, unless the target is general suchabody, in which case it will be an elite federal dropship.

Cheers for the heads up/tips.

Did wonder seeing the 128k reward.

Odds for Cobra v Conda :p

Dilemma solved, as it's no longer on the board :)

I remember in Frontier assassination missions if you had a tooled up, small, fast ship you could find your mark and he'd typically jump out on you. However, usually you could wake-scan and jump to the target system beating him there. You'd then arm-up and hang around waiting for the mark to jump-in. You'd then go screaming in guns blazing - time it right and you could have missiles on the way too.

If the mark was also in a faster ship you might have to chase him through multiple systems using a wake scanner.

Doesn't assassination work like that anymore?

EDIT:
Now I think about it - the mark also had an ultimate destination, and if he made it there you 'lost' him and failed the mission.
