Too many wing missions

[nzguzzi]

Seriously, overhaul the missions board.
I am tired of looking at 80% to 100% of available missions for wings.
40 minutes of refreshing mission board and not a single solo pirate assassination or pirate hunt mission and yet over 20-30 wing missions for them....
I play in solo for a reason.
I want solo missions.

[cylonmaster]

Me too

I believe there was a planned update posted somewhere about reducing the frequency of wing missions in solo. I pick up wing missions in solo sometimes just to hoard them and then dump several hundred million on some scrub commander so they can get a nice FDL or something.

You could have completed a wing assassination mission in the 40 minutes you spent refreshing for a non wing mission

Very much depends on where you are and what states are in effect. Sometimes you can't find any wing missions at all. Sometimes boards are full of them.

having this with cargo missions... just wanted to do a few missions with my 17x ton anaconda, and all i can ever find are 3000+t wing missions >.>
i like that they exist, but they are a bit too abundant.

But that's not how its done is it...... also, kill 70 in 40 minutes, highly unlikely

No, but there's a good chance that single kill 70 massacre wing would pay you more than flying to the station every 5 minutes you waste killing 5 pirates.

Wings also have a time limit of a week, even with not that much time you can just log out in a RES and do it over a couple of evenings.

The pay is half what a solo mission gives.
Why do you even suggest this, we all know how solo stacking works.
Suggesting I go do the wing missions is not the answer here.
In SOLO the mission boards are stacked with wing missions, obviously its broken.

It's very much not half, it's a good couple of times more than a solo mission(especially if you stack loads of them in the right system) and you dont waste the time and money travelling to grab penny-payout solo missions where you spend more time browsing your phone than actually killing pirates.

Yeah there's too many wing missions, but more often than not those make for a much better money currently, even when running them solo.

I get 500,000 credits per ship kill for pirate massacre solo
I am required to kill twice as many pirates for a wing mission to get the same cash payout.
I am SOLO
I do not group so ... a wing mission is totally redundant and the payout per kill is way way less.
I am already stacking solo missions from 3 systems. I know how it works. The boards now have no solo content, this is the issue.
Why are people suggesting to just take wing missions?
What do you not understand here?
Please go and do the math, a wing mission does not pay better than solo pirate massacre missions ( ship kills / payout )
# Wing mission kill 30 pirates = 9 million credits
# Solo mission kill 8 pirates = 4.2 million credits

Logic here: No cruise ships available.... well just swim then....

In the time it takes you to restock on all the solo missions vs wing missions every time you do them you'll make more money from bounties just thanks to the lack of down time where you had to go back and forth between 3 systems every time you kill 5-10 pirates for solo missions. And I'm also feeling very sorry if your wing massacres actually award you 9m credits.

I took on a wing mission in solo because that was the only type of mission available reward payout stated 4 mill credits . Got to target location threat level 6 ,targeted enemy and ended up fighting 6 enemy ships my battle Corvette lasted 9 seconds . That's why I now don't take on wing missions in solo . The problem is in solo mode 80% of mission board contracts for pirate missions and trade missions are wing missions. So op is right.

Wing assassination missions can be really fun though. Well, if you are looking for a challenge. I wouldn't take them for the money, better take a solo assasination mission.

Funny that you got trounced in a Corvette though.

Wasn't funny at the time . No solo missions only wing ,took the mission because i was bored with trade missions.Corvette built for combat very good ship , all it needs is a good pilot.
