Hi all. Some help please. Is it just me or have massacre and strike missions become very specific. I have several kill x number of pirate of a specific faction. I get that they spawn randomly and higher killer numbers takes time etc & I am good with this. However my missions will only accept kills and identify targets as mission targets if they are flying a specific ship. In this case an eagle. So although I can dispatch pirates in the same organisation and they are wanted they do not count. This seems a bit overly picky and missing form the mission details. Sorry it’s a bit long but am I on my own here ? Trying to find 30 pirates of a specific organisation and in a specific ship seems ..... a tad picky. Thank you in advance
Massacre and strike missions

It's not just you. I picked up a mission to kill 40 pirates of a specific faction, and 80% of the ships I saw were wanted but not a "mission target". After 4 hours I was only 16/40 and abandoned the mission.

These missions take up so much time that I just avoid them entirely...once had one to kill 128 pirates in a system with only 4 non landable bodies, no rez sites and just one station.
After 30 odd kills in 6 hours I just gave up and never even look at those missions anymore...far more hassle than they worth tbh...the very definition of wasting time in elite ^

Nav Beacons aren't all that good anymore with PP in effect in many systems. They can only hold so many ships and PP ships tend to choke the population acting like pirates and don't bother with any actual wanted ships.
REZ and Supercruise interdictions are going to be the best bet.
