Hi,
I'm stuck on Mission 3 in Assassins - trying to find the Hockey team. I can't locate the Team Bus, although I did once find the Escorts. I've been in and out of the system umpteen times and spent days on this now - any tips??
Assassins - Help!

Make sure you line up on the main planet (not the big orange one) when you jump into the system. The Hockey Team are added in the space lane and fly towards the main planet. J jump towards the planet and check your contacts. The Escorts and Buss fly together, but don't get distracted by chasing the escorts. When they spot you they'll attack, but the Bus itself may well flee and if you get tangled up with the escorts you'll lose them. Injector towards the escorts and you should find the bus. Bear in mind the bus may be a few kilometers ahead of the escorts so they can be on the scanner whilst the bus is still off. Get rid of the escorts with an e-bomb. The Bus will be dammaged but survive, so it'll be the only hostile left on the scanner. If you arrive at the station and miss the bus (as it were), jump out of the system and jump back in for another go. Jumping out and back in resets the positions of all the ships. Although the bus will fly in the spacelane if it is attacked (eg by Thargoids) before you get there in the fur-ball its likey to move out of the spacelane and so although it heads to the planet again its now on a different angle so your paths don't cross. A jump out will reset it back to its space lane position. Don't hang about when you enter, J jump or injector towards the planet and you should meet them.
Should add that orbits.oxp is not really compatable with assassins as it moves the positions of the assassins planets, which can throw the ships off course (or make them impossible to find). So if you have orbits installed, you'd need to take it out and put it back in when your done with assassins.
