Massacre missions are almost always ridiculously long and not worth taking

Massacre Mission Depot?

The OP is correct imho. Massacre Missions are pretty much not worth doing except as a secondary 'might as well' for commanders doing CZs for BGS. I wonder if turning them into a 'depot' style mission might help? Something like…

• You can only take 1 massacre mission per Minor Faction
• When you complete the mission you'll get paid per kill
• You can kill as many (or few) as you want but you must do a minimum of 5 or fail the mission
• Any INF or REP component has a base kill requirement that increases at various trigger values. Eg 5 kills = REP ++, 10 kills = REP +++, 15 kills = REP ++++ etc

Yeah, a lot of those missions are . I feel like, unless it's a wing mission, it shouldn't go above 15-20 per mission. They should also give better rewards.

also, the whole mission system sucks in general... it could be so much better.

Yep, this^

At this point I'd say all of the combat oriented missions need to have a QoL pass and someone who actually plays the game to give them a look. 90 ships over 2-3hrs in a CZ is not worth 8 million credits.

Assuming that I could get enough kills to cover my rebuy say, once every hour or two, I would definitely take these missions.
