Massacre missions?

Garix · Nov 14, 2017

Am I recalling correctly that the stacking of them was fixed/nerfed (delete as per preference)?

So I cant just pick up the 8-9 missions that are currently sat on the board then kill 108 ships (hopefully) and succeed in all of them?

It has been fixed. If you take 8-9 massacre missions, each kill will only count towards one of them. It is always the earliest mission you have taken.

Didn't realize that. That's a shame.

This should not have been 'fixed'. They are now BY FAR, the least rewarding mission cr/effort.

Oh I don't know. 26 Million for 108 pirate ships, I dropped into a haz res in the corvette and got the 108 kills in under an hour, add 14.7 million in bounties (using KWS) and I made 40.7 mil in under an hour.
One gripe I do have about these missions, is when you find a wing of the pirates, only the lead ship counts as a mission target, so for a wing of three you only get one mission kill.

Not quite correct.. you can still take multiple massacre missions.

Kills will only count simultaneously for more than one mission if those missions are from DIFFERENT mission-givers.

If you stack massacre missions from the SAME mission-giver, kills will only count towards the first mission you accepted from him. until the mission is complete.

(As described in v2.4 Patchnots)

Please explain how you can have different mission givers for a CZ massacre mission.

There arn't just CZ Massacre missions.

Could be pirates, civillians etc..

I've even seen massacre passenger ships missions. But the chances of finding matching missions for the right system and the right type of victim is pretty slim. For what they pay, you are better off taking a couple of assassination missions.
