Ship Builds & Load Outs Combat missions -is a FSD Interdictor needed or not?

[Dedlite]

You know the bulletin board missions where you have to assassin a npc commander or drop some pirate ships, but I wondered - do you always have to interdict your target during frameshift, or are they always found at a USS?

 

[YoBuck]

I believe both.

 

[Michael Brookes]

That's correct - they can be found in USSs, supercruise and in normal space.

Crikey, cheers for the reply Michael!

Does that mean that there's a chance they might *only* appear in supercruise ?

If I only hang around in normal space (e.g. at the nav beacon), will they eventually turn up before the mission timer expires ?

I doubt it.

When the 1.3 update first came out I spent 15mins looking in USS locations, then by chance happened to look at contacts in SC, when I got close it dropped into normal space, where I followed his wake.
