Ok, I am working my way through pilot, I have gotten all the Tier 2 skills and have progressed to Tier 3. I completed the first 2 misisons easily enough, and got a free training in the Equippment C skill. The third misison has me confused. The objective is to go to the Endor System, search 3 waypoints for a hutt smuggler, hack into his ship, and then I would assume head back to Yavin IV.

I tried this mission. I went to Endor, went to the waypoints, all of which are guarded by 6 respawning Tier 3 ships. I found a ship called a Hutt Spice Smuggler, disabled it, inspected it (electronic Equipment, first time I ever inspected anything and there was something there to see), and docked with it. My ship does not have a cargo hold, so it told me the docking was unsuccesful. It was late, and I was tired so I called it quits, I have not yet had a chance to get back into the game, so I haven't had a chance to retry this.

My Various questions are:

Was I going for the right ship? (I think I saw a ship called a Hutt Smuggler, not a Hutt Spice Smuggler)

Am I supposed to dock with it, or just disable it?

Do I need a cargo Hold in my ship for this mission?

What can you all tell me about this mission?

I am looking for people who have already completed this mission, and remember how to complete it. I would prefer concrete advice, not just "I think so".

Thanks in advance for your replies.
