[Falconeer]

Sorry, couldnt find the target! The system doesn't have a Python with a brigand on board?Just thought I'd mantion it?
Am I doin somthin wrong?

Sorry, cant find my assigned target in the system its been given to me?

I have been looking all night but no Python, with a brigand on board !

Nevermind

[maik]

Sometimes it's just hard to find the target, going back and forth between the station and the witch jump point (W on the compass) should help you find it. You might have to examine all ships you're encountering along the way though... If you don't have the compass you can also just sit and wait at the station. That increases the risk of the target falling prey to someone else though and it might take a long time until it comes by. Check your mission screen to see if it still tells you to find it or if it says that it found an untimely death already.

[caracal]

Sorry, cant find my assigned target in the system its been given to me?

Those marks, they're a slippery bunch! You'd think they would just fly right up so you could kill them, but nooooooo ....

Not sure if this is actually part of the code or not, but once after trolling up and down between the station and the witchpoint so many times even the asteroids knew my name, I finally decided to come back and try later. As soon as I jumped to another system, there the bastard was right next to the witchpoint ... in the new system! He came at me with lasers blazing, and I bought him a ticket to Lord Ayton.

Yes, if they jump as an escape ploy, they'll always be in their chosen system right around the witchpoint. But in this case, I was the one who initiated the jump. Weird, but I got the mark, so I was a happy hunter.

As maik said, you sometimes have to scour the system to find the target. One thing that has worked for me on occasion: When I'm getting close to the station after having patrolled the Main Lane, and still haven't seen the mark, sometimes I'll see flashes of explosions and/or laser streaks highlighted against the planet. Steering for those instead of the station sometimes pays off. The mark is always non-clean, and the longer they hang out in the system, the better chance they'll get into some sort of dust-up of their own.

Yep, I have observed this also at least once. Strangely enough, I seem to remember that his henchmen were still in the system where they were supposed to be so I made minced meat of them. And after finally jumping to another system I found the culprit I was after whose sole offense was to have spat on somebody's shoes or something, but who am I to judge when the bounty is right

[Thargoid]

And on an unrelated note (having seen your log file), there are updates available for Armoury and Fuel Station plus you've accidentally got an old 1.01 version of Planetfall Taxi in the OXP folder of FP Liners (which will confuse the updated 1.10 version you have correctly installed).

[Eric Walch]

Sorry, couldnt find the target! The system doesn't have a Python with a brigand on board?Just thought I'd mantion it?
Am I doin somthin wrong?

Nothing wrong, you just didn't search enough. The mark is always patrolling at the direct route between station and witchpoint. (Not planet-witchpoint like the police).

When the mark encounters police they can start a fight, resulting in both ships leaving the route.

BUT: In this test version everything is logged. When the mark jumps or is killed, you'll find it in the log. Also hits by npc ships on the mark are being logged. Your logs has no mention of this, so the mark must be on its designated course.

[Falconeer]

Many thanks guys. I have updated my OXP's and I will go back and take a closer look

Best Regards.

I case someone asks were those messages come from:

Avoiding possible circular reference overflow by ignoring escort setup. 

The "Junta Enforcer" is from Dictators.oxp. It has a "hidden" definition of escorts. Or more precise it is like_shiped to a ship that has two escorts. But the "Junta Enforcer" itself is always called as a pair of ships to escort a prison ship.

The easiest way to fix this bug it to add an explicit shipkey to the "Junta Enforcer" where the escort count is set to zero.

Ramirez is already informed of this and will fix it in a next release. Currently no big problem as Oolite already corrects this problem himself. (therefore just a warning)
