Just got setup yesterday. Went through the tutorial all right and started on the agent missions. After a bunch of fetch and carry I was given the following mission in 1.0 space. It was something like a 1.1 level mission and I was still in the rookie ship.
A transport carrying Minmater rebels was detected. I was supposed to intercept the transport and bring back prisoners. I undock and warp to the location and see the transport. My first thought was to shoot it down (it showed as red) so I locked and loaded. I got the message about 'Do you really want to perform this unlawful act?' so I stood down and just approached the transport. As I got close, it started firing at me so I returned fire and eventually knocked it out. As soon as the transport was destroyed, three Concord ships appeared and blew me up before I could even get to the cargo cannister to see what was inside.
So . . . assuming Concord ships showing up and blowing me to smithers is not a proper solution, how do you complete this type of mission? Is there some sort of method to 'stop and board' a hostile NPC? I don't remember seeing anything similar to that on right click but I'm sure I could have overlooked something. Any and all help appreciated.

CONCORD only shoots you for destroying other players--not faction ships! And I believe you're allowed to destroy the ship in that mission. It sounds like you got that Surprise mission, where pirates ambush you after you kill their bait industrial.

My awareness was probably not the highest as I had been playing for a long time before this happened but . . .
The ship was definitely a transport and was the 'target' for my mission. It took me a long time to destroy the vessel and the other ships didn't pop until the transport was destroyed. The transport did shoot at me first. I'm about 85% certain that the ships that shot me down were labeled as CONCORD.

Yeah, it was an ambush mission. That wasn't concord, I believe it was pirates.
I did that same mission and thought the same thing, but I looked more closely (at the journal) and found out that there was like 5 rnds of pirates afterwards to take out.

Who were you working for? Some factions do send you against concord, and the response you got (3 ships) doesn't sound like a normal police, but an ambush. It might have been a concord transport with you getting ambushed by some low end concord frigates.
Considering they were apparently slavers, though, if it really was a concord transport, I think we're going to have to have some words with some of the higher up officials.

If it's the mission I think it is, the transport is carrying mercenaries and the ships that turn up to defend it are Minmatar (I think) navy.
Assuming it's a level 1 Federal Navy IntSec mission that is.

D'oh! You guys were right. I guess my brain was close to putty at the time and I didn't read the mission briefing clearly.  They were 'Republic' vessels that blew me out of the water, errr space. I fitted a new frigate and had another go at them and they trashed me again. A rather tough mission for the very beginning in my estimation.

Cretainly unlucky to get that one so early, especially in a Velator. If you get a Tristan with some 150mm rails and a missile launcher it's a walkover though.
In fact every level I mission I've done with that setup has been a walkover, just don't try level II with it unless you like being pounded by missiles :(
/me waits for Gallente Cruiser III to finish training...
