I picked up the first step of this mission (to talk to the pilot) early on in the game and decided to put it off, I didn't realize the pilot I was supposed to talk to was on the same station and thought I was going to go off to find them somewhere in the galaxy. I then came back and destroyed the station later (oops), a pirate station called ekwarmer station in the Duzahk system, not knowing the person I was supposed to talk to was there. Later I decided to pick up the mission from where I had left off, and at that point the mission continued to point toward the spot in the Duzahk system where the station had been, but if I right clicked on the red planet symbol it would set a waypoint to the center of the sector screen in the middle of hyperspace. It took me a while, and reloading a previous save, to realize what had happened.
Probably the mission should update in the event someone annihilates the station the pilot is on like I did.
