I've been thinking 'bout the Viper and how to make a plugin that makes you able to actually make some money if you fly one. So I came up with this idea:
Escorting star liners, just like the AI vipers does all the time. Okay, here's the problem; how can I get a mission like this (escort mission) to show up in the Mission BBS is that possible? It doesn't seem like it is, you see, it just doesn't show up! And one more thing; is it possible to actually ESCORT the star liner instead of THE STAR LINER escorting you? You know, when you hire an escort, you always have to fly ahead of it. Is it possible to make the ship you're escorting fly ahead of you? Hehe, I was just wondering, it would be much cooler, you know!

You should be able to get any sort of mission to appear in the mission computer. Double check that the random-ness and the AvailBits are working properly, and you actually have it set to be offered in the Mission Computer...

As for the second bit, not really. Technically the Starliner would be escorting you, but it doesn't matter that much. It's a cool idea.

Ah, I figured it out. It was just a stupid little mistake.
Thanks anyway!

Post the solution if you would, so that anyone searching for how to do what you're doing can know how to do it, too.

Regular vipers only have one jump, so you'll need to refuel at every system (great for charters that want to do extra sight-seeing), and have to be careful with inhabited systems blocking your path.

well, I suppose nothing that a few solar panels can't fix.

You should make like ten of those missions, and make one of them have a fleet of pirates as aux ship hanging out somewhere. Just to add to the excitement q-:

I got a pilot file, a Reble Viper Intercepter comes with 3 light cannon, 2 Radar Missle Launchers, plus 2 Raven Rocket pods, if take all weapons off, you should be able to custize, the Viper with exter battery packs and solar panels plus a little more beefy cannons, and still have enough room for an escape pod.

NSA man, we don't need to know about your pilot file. Keep it relevant, please.
