I jumped to Aldrin for a sec and noticed one of stations offers a mission. I never flew much in Aldrin, I usually jump out of there as soon as Terran campaign is over to never come back. But this time I decided to take a trip (350km) and see what people of that mission-offering station want.
Turns out they want impossible. They want me to deliver a guy, in a TP in 90 minutes to.... a Terran Sabre aboard which I apparently can't dock.
A bug?
Screenie to prove I'm not making it up:

My Angel jumped only 192km from that station. I think I will give it a shot.
EDIT #1: Mission disappeared when I was 140 KM from the station aboard my Angel. Argh. Reload.
EDIT #2: Angel jumped 160 KM from station, I'm aboard it 140 KM from picking up the guy. 1 hour 20 minutes left.
EDIT #3: Almost there, one hour left. I hope docking computer will let me dock when close enough to the rock. Will save 50km cause that's the length of this station. http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/9007/x ... 333835.jpg
EDIT #4: Picked up the guy (docking computer trick worked saving me 50KM). 64 minutes left to mission end. Target Sabre... is 200KM away. http://img167.imageshack.us/img167/286/ ... 362312.jpg
EDIT #5: Target Sabre is only 68KM away from me and I got so close under 10 seconds. Jumped from Aldrin to Aldrin. 132KM in 10 secs, not bad. I'm really excited and optimistic about it.
EDIT #6: Target Sabre is moving! ARGH. And it's moving away from me. http://img179.imageshack.us/img179/164/ ... 404770.jpg
EDIT #7: Target Sabre 7KM away from me and I'm chasing it. Will know if mission is broken in a few secs. http://img167.imageshack.us/img167/4830 ... 433017.jpg
EDIT #8: MISSION COMPLETE when I got under 5KM from target Sabre. Guy appreciates my help. I had lots of fun too.
