Thought I would try my hand at this type of stuff after bounty hunting at Nav beacons, mining and freight transport. Took my first "assassinate Pirate" mission in an adjoining system. Once there, I hit the nav beacon and got an incoming message. Message said my target was last at location A. Went there, and just before arrival, he tried to interdict me. Evaded interdiction, and he was nowhere to be seen. I keep flying around the area trying to find him, but no luck. No new messages either. I've been at this for 2 hours now, and I'm thinking I've missed something.
