Spec Ops Contract Missions

Has anyone done these missions, if so what difficulty are they. In reading the details it involves wetwork which means when I see the word wetwork there's a lot of flying around to find or meet up with someone which sounds too time consuming to me.

I did one. It worked out similar to a bounty hunting / pirate assassination mission except it was illegal.

I flew to the target system, scanned the nav beacon, and was sent an e-mail asking me to track down 8 civillians ships and destroy them.


Personally, for the money they are paying, the lack of initial knowledge they give, bounties you get against you for illegal actions, and the risk of messing up reputation with factions you like is too much for them to be worth taking.

I tried a few of these and found them worthless:

Lots of targets - time consuming
Often targets are illegal - risky in terms of the police etc.
Dropped my rep with the factions I was taking out

All of the above for a measly 2.5m CR means I don't run these missions now. Same as the poster above.

I may have been unlucky in the missions I was handed, but as you can't tell what you're getting into until you accept the mission, I just don't see the point in this mission type. My character is a business man, not a masochist!
