Massacre Missions gone weird? - Slightly Broken?

I'm busy ranking up with pew pew and discovered the place where I re-arm does Massacre Missions for the very same compromised nav beacon I've been working in.

However the missions are a bit borked, I stacked 10 (Yes I know they don't work like they used to)

Anyways I have to kill 20 Pirates clan x

So go kill 20 and 3 show as kills - Turns out they have to be a 'Mission Target' Pirate clan x - Not Pirate clan x !

Holy mother of space weed! I'm struggling to find mission targets and after a sleep on it - not one! But plenty of Pirate clan x

Have I lost the plot or are things broken?

It's been like this with the kill pirate missions for months at least
i made several attempts at these missions only to stumble on this very problem, the first time i had already killed like 20 before realizing they didn't register as mission targets i ended up checking a planetary installation owned by target faction an found mission targets there

kill X pirates missions are the worst!

have to be in SC all the time, cant go to a RES or CNB to get killed... SC only..

not sure this is entirely true.
I did a couple missions a few days ago, and i found a RES site that was loaded with mission targets.

Pirate Massacre mission target can be find in Hi Res, just keep in mind that you will not necessarely find those of the faction you search for.

...But I feel you might find more mission target in Haz Res.

wonder if it depends on the type of res site?
Would seem silly to restrict it like that, but I'm going to make note of it next time i'm running these.

In 2.3 they were one of the best ways to make money. But you had to be very particular about the missions you took.

Yes, they are a bit problematic, but you can limit this by checking the mission parameters and making sure that 1) The target faction has decent influence in a system with decent population, this ensures a good amount of spawns. 2) That the target system has rings, cos doing this anywhere except a res is just a painful experience. 3) Find a low or normal res for small ships (easier and faster to kill for the quotas), and reset the instance (SC out and drop in again) when you run out of targets.

I do these sometimes, but just all that checking is pain in the butt enough, so I tend to avoid them. If you do find a good combination of criteria though, they can still be quite lucrative. Busy low res with wings of eagles, etc, popular faction, high population. Jackpot.

Just a FYI - The target system has no Res Sites - It's a compromised nav beacon and the are loads of the target faction there who are all wanted - however ones marked mission target were common, after relogging (Sleep) none are showing.

I see. That is odd. Still, tips are valid before accepting them next time. Perhaps your mission(s) have glitched, maybe you stacked too many and confused it (yes, I'm throwing out random thoughts), but worth doing a couple of screenshots and submitting a bug report. You'd need to show that you are in the target system, targeting target faction ships that are wanted, and don't have the 'mission target' attribute, while having a non-expired mission. You could do that in one screenshot actually. :)

I'll also do one of these for you tonight to see if I have any issues, cos I haven't done one for ages, could be a new problem.
