Astrodyne Outpost V mission HELP?

I'm trying to play this game again (after how many years?); am stuck on the "Astrodyne Outpost V" mission - "Find the Confed transport, board it, recover the weapon prototype, and return to Palshife." I can't find that #$*%&^ transport anywhere. I hang out around the Astrodyne Outpost and around Ruby (the Confeds were to be taking it there) and places in between. (And other places out of boredom.) Nothing ever shows. What gives?

Try checking out unihabited sustems in the area north of Ruby. 😉

Thanks a lot; that did the trick. (I think I'd been to Caster a dozen times but never looked around enough to see the ship. Too many other ships attacking me, maybe.)

BTW, everybody, notice how Ultimate Rebel gave advice which helped, but did not just plain say, "Go here. Do this. You'll find it there."

This is the way to help ... without overdoing it. Nice job, Ultimate Rebel.

Keep looking.

If you don't find it you might still be able to set the record for the longest time playing EV strait.
