Thank you Cycrow, I'll give a try. Now let's hope a mix of Assassins+Military+Taxi+Mercenary+Merchant guilds works . Thanks for all the effort.

Something strange happened yesterday night. I have installed your Assassins, Military, Merchants, Merchants, Race Military and Taxi Drivers guilds scripts, then went to the closest station, the Argon Equipment Dock at Cloudbase SE. There were 7 messages, no guild invitations, but an assassination mission - I needed to intercept a guy who had stolen a few terabytes of information before he delivered them to the pirates, from the Ore Belt to Elena's Fortune, payout: 89K. It must be a stock mission since it did not ask me to join a guild beforehand. Now, I haven't done many stock missions, but I have never seen anything like that.
My Combat Rank is Fighter Chief, my best ship is a 'found' Mamba Raider. In the Ore Belt I find a red Mammoth escorted by four M3 Novas. I scouted the whole area between the Ore Belt to Elena's Fortune and these were the only red ships, so they must be my assassination targets. I've tried tackling them a dozen time but I can't manage to split the tight group of 4 Novas and end up dead after killing one at most.
I've tried uninstalling the scripts and reload a clean save I had backed up beforehand. I can't find that mission anymore. I've reinstalled the scripts and reloaded the clean save I had made right before I had installed the scripts, and, mind you, can't get the mission again either. I'll keep the scripts, I just got enlisted into the Argon milirary, but:
could stock BBS missions be that unbalanced? Or could it be something that the scripts brought with them? Or maybe I simply suck, and a newbie player, in his first game, should be able to tackle 4 Novas without a problem at the Fighter Chief rank?
I suspect it's a stock mission problem yet I'm curious as to whether these things happen often and as to the level of challenge I should be able to tackle.
Thanks.

I also am having the problem with cabin space disapearing, in the same wasy as described previously.
I have all the guild scripts installed, and also bbs overtune and Al competitors by LV (the game crashes after I uninstall these and reload, havent worked out which is causing it).
also, i am having another problem, which is that in the taxi guild station, the two items avialable for trade have no name, they are free, and there is only two of each availabe (2/2) whenever I dock at the station. However the mission work if i can be bothered to fly back repeatedly and get enough.
This happens in equipment docks also, but with about 5 different unnamed products appearing. Not sure what script it is related to.

Cycrow,
I like the assassin and merchant scripts, but the taxi script is effectively useless.
It costs me more in cabin space - which disappears - than the missions are worth. For example it cost me 560,000 to buy 10 luxury cabins which were gone during the joyride mission and netted me 363,000.
Also the text files are screwed.
Is there any hope in sight that this will be sorted?

yeah i thought it might have been something like that, thats y i've made sure in the new version that the occupied space is removed, leaving enough space in your cargo hold to readd the cabin space back.
in testing it seemed to work ok for the joyrideing mission
i've not changed the other missions yet, i wanted to make sure the joyride was fully working first

Sorry Cycrow,
the taxi drivers guild script is hopelessly flawed. I thought I had found something but I was wrong.
I'm not posting this to put you down, you have done a phenomenal job on other scripts, it is just that this one doesn't work. The disappearing cabin space is a fatal flaw and it still remains.

Hi Cycrow,
It happens on the joyride missions, but sometimes also on other missions. One thing though, I do the other missions in conjunction with the joyride.
Sometimes the cabins space remains there through two or three dockings, and at other times it disappears after going through the first gate. I cannot find a pattern to it.
That is the annoying thing - as soon as I think I know what it is, it does something else unexpected.

Cycrow,
perhaps this is stupid, but could it be that the script gets a bit confused if I accept more than one joyride mission at any time (some requiring basic and some requiring luxury cabin space)?
I am greedy and if I have 100 luxury cabins and 200 basic ones, I like to fill them up. The good thing about the joyride missions is that I can go about my business (gain rank in the assassin guild and perchance merchants guild) whilst still leveling up in the Taxi drivers guild.
On another note, I am enjoying your assassin guild script, and would like to know what the different points score is that is required for the different levels (would be nice if you could put that on the relevant page)? Currently I'm at level 5.
