Corporate Troubles - Troubles!!

[Merg]

I am well into the Corporate Troubles plot. Trying to do the Share Recovery - Find Idmanckabssit mission and slip him the 25 units of Space Fuel. I had him early on, but he got away and I haven't seen him since. But I think I broke the mission when my ship was almost destroyed and I purchased a new one, thus losing the two Mercenaries in the process. I replaced them with a couple from a Military Outpost, but whenever I look for this guy, he is no where to be found. If I leave my ship with the Mercenaries and the Space Fuel, I get a message to immediately replace the Space Fuel or the Mission won't work. But again I am searching 6-7 sectors and he is not to be found. I'm curious if I did in fact break the mission and it is only working halfway or if he's somewhere and I just haven't found him yet. Any thoughts or actual knowledge about this situation is appreciated.

Is this the one where you have to 'plant' the space fuel in the target's cargo bay and then call the police to track him down? If so I think you get given the ship identification number correct? I'm going to assume you're NOT still playing Dead is Dead by now...so try the "save game, load All Seeing Eye script to locate the target, re-load save game" method.
BTW if you can go back to the save game where you 'lost' the two mercenaries you might be able to see them floating in space. Remember to pick them up using a ship with cargo bay life support.
