I have seen lots of bulletin board missions offering a huge reward for taking out a notorious criminal last seen in X, Y and Z systems. However, not one of these has said what ship the miscreant was flying. It could be anything from a Sidewinder to an Anaconda. I need to have some idea of what I'm likely to be up against before I take the job, right? And to my mind, flying a space ship is a lot like driving any vehicle, so just as cops pursue a named make and model of car on the streets of today, in the Elite Dangerous world we should be told that notorious pirate bla bla has been spotted in systems X, Y and Z flying a <insert ship>.

At the moment, the pirate is always flying an Anaconda. I do agree that the mission text should specify this though. It can be quite the shock the first time around. Especially since it gets offered to anyone, including fresh sidewinder pilots.
The ~150 kCr (and above) missions are all Elite Anaconda pilots.
The ~50 kCr missions are about different ship types. Only one I've done so far was a Dropship.

Ha, yes, the first time I tried one... "Probably just another random ship". "There's a USS". "Oh, it's big." "Opened fire, aargh, shields, hull, RUN AWAY! RUN AWAY!"
Agree 100% they could be guarded about it by saying something like "It is believed the miscreant is flying a heavily armed ship possibly even an Anaconda" to give it a warm fuzzy feeling
