Can Squad Killing mission can be done solo?

[The Grey]

Hello,

I've got some Bounty Hunting missions where i need to kill 30 pirate of a certain faction, but in my transaction tab on the left border, its written in blue " Squad ".

Can i do it alone? Or its reserved to squad play only?

Thanks.

All wing missions can be completed solo.
They might take longer, or be "a bit" more difficult, but there are no arbitrary restrictions on how many are needed to complete them.

Ok thanks

After a few hundred hours, the wing missions are the most fun I've had in a long time, save for maybe Thargoids. Fighting an engineered ship that doesn't spam SCBs or use thermal cascade? Yes please

I've seen some wing missions appear to be grossly underwhelming for a squad, and actually suit a solo CMDR.

The delivery missions in particular, if you're setup with a good hauling ship like a T7, T9 etc you can complete in 2-3 trips, building in other systems to your trade route maximising your profits.

You can, however, the benefit of doing wing missions in a wing is that everyone gets paid, the reward is not split. The problem with doing wing missions solo, is that they are designed for a wing so the pay isn't very good when done solo (similar to a solo missions payout, but more difficult or time consuming).

Personally I think it would be nice if they didn't even give you wing missions when you weren't actually in a wing. Instead giving you more solo options to choose from. Similarly, if you were actually in a wing, it should give you mostly wing missions.

The 'industry needs x tons of x' missions can be well paid; I've learned to check these wing missions too.

I'm in a Python with 280 cargo bay, wing missions like get 480 units of gold for 15mil is basically 2 trips at a bit over 7mil apiece. Pretty nice.

The delivery wing missions can be worth looking at in solo, but they tend to want you to haul more than the source and return missions.

For most (still not all) number-related missions (kill X pirates, deliver Y units, etc) you are right. Assassination missions are the exception though, they pay slightly more, require exactly the same amount of time to complete, and now that they are FDL+2*vultures instead of engineered corvette/cutter/conda + full wing they are sometimes even easier/faster than regular ones (which are still corvette/conda).

Also choice is good, artificial restrictions are bad. Being able to do wing missions solo is nice option, removing it would be a shame.

A wing FDL takes longer to kill than 3 solo Vette's, solo.

The problem is that wing missions in solo take the place of other solo missions, similarly solo missions while in a wing remove wing options. I wouldn't care about wing missions being available in solo, or solo mission in a wing, if they didn't take the place of eachother. Most of the time that is reducing the options, which you seem so against (and I agree, more options is better).

true, although the alphas wings you may cross in conflict zone deliver more of a challenge imo.

as per cargo runs missions well, i find them chill as long as you do them with an escort, but solo naa it get boring, beside you earn way more by grabing your abstract laser, your mining charge and hunt some void opal.
