They're mentioned on my site, IIRC.

I've seen assassins spawn in such a way that their speeds are
hopelessly out of sync with yours so you'll get the message and maybe
just notice them zoom past you out of range. Sometimes they never
manage to catch up. Depends what you're flying, to a certain extent.

It's possible. I've never actually docked in the same system while
doing a mission with an MDS so never thought about this. Assuming that
you took out the MDS before leaving, the logical explanation is that
docking somehow means your Transmission Jammer is 'off'.

Normal military photo missions are only available to commanders of a
certain military rank, but the 'CLASSIFIED' ones don't appear to have
such a restriction.

You're in good company - I'm the idiot that never got round to putting
up my saves on my site for others to look at and ended up having to
reformat my PC. :-(

The random unknown names certainly suggest it's something to do with
the 'CLASSIFIED' recon mission.

A while back, I decided to do some more playtesting on the smaller
****ps. I was dismayed at how sloppy all those years of cruising around
in big ****ps with loads of ****elds had made me.

I really must get round to making that X52 profile for FFE, if I can
get over the wierdness of using a stick instead of a mouse.
