Any word on Fix for Massacre Mission Targets not spawning/ being flagged

Hey FDev,

I was just wondering if there is any word about the fix for the Massacre Pirate mission target issues?
ie: Targets not spawning in RES sites in high enough numbers now to actually complete a mission, and for not being flagged as mission target most of the time when they do spawn.

It was one of the main missions me and my mates flew as a wing for... having fun and earning some money at the same time (been trying to help my mates get some credits for upgrades).

Since they've been broken.. well... they just aren't really logging on any more.
They did engineering unlocking for a bit while waiting.. but then I think burnt out on it.

I'd seen a notification about the trade data fix being ready in a few days.
It made me wonder if we can expect to see a fix for the Massacre Missions targets too (hopefully before the easter public holidays! no work!! prime time for Elite play!).

Thanks.

Low pay, high count - working as intended. Next please.
If it'd be the other way around, it would get patched yesterday.

Yeh unfortunately, the mission waypoints, while a viable workaround, are not completely reliable (they seem to take AGES to spawn, first time I've encountered this and only with this missions type), while the supercruise target bug persists.

For what it's worth I found another workaround that worked, that was when the blue USSes dried up or were far between, I would jump into a weapons fire detected or distress call USS as I was cruising round the target body, and often find mission targets there.

While both of these bugs (low spawn rate of blue USS, and mission targets not being mission targets) are really frustrating, they are both quite rare and as long as you don't take a mission for 48+ targets you can generally do them ok, it's just the odd one that will give you a problem.

This needs fixing though, it really does. Along with a decent payout hike, these are amongst the most boring and tie consuming missions when not actually in combat.
