(Non-Wing) Massacre missions payout/target count change?

[MDHansen]

Just noticed the usual 30+mill/40-50 targets, got adjusted to 25-30mill/90 targets [woah]

Anyone else seeing this? Seems like wing and non-wing targets/reward got shifted around...

This is still happening.
Wing-/Massacre missions rewards are flipped around. Wing mission 30mill/45 targets, "solo" mission 30mill/90 targets........

Sure looks that way, I only take missions that pay at least 400K per target, and only if there is a rez site in the target system.

All seemed a bit assbackwards the last time I looked, a couple of days ago.

Regular massacre mission: 80-odd ships for Cr20m
Wing massacre mission: 30-odd ships for, erm, Cr20m.

The "best" one I saw was (IIRC) a wing massacre mission which paid Cr18m for destroying sixteen ships.

[where is it]

Never actually taken a wing massacre mission.
Do they spawn tougher ships or something?

Nope. Same ships, plus sometimes a regular-as-clockwork stream of valuable FDLs and 'Condas if you park on the edge of the mass lock in a hazres. Maximal payouts from 20 missions with optimal stacking of over 2 billion credits in 2-4 hours from missions alone, in practice it's less than that but then topped up with vanilla bounties as well.

But ooh, void opals *wrings hands*

Nope. These are some of the easiest, high paying missions to take. As stated above, look for ones killing pirates in systems that have a hares. Once you factor in the bounties your looking at 40-50M for a leisurely hours work. Grab'em until they nerf'ed

 

[MDHansen]

Yeh, good missions. I band em together with Assassination missions (same system/faction), since the assassination target counts on the massacre (pirate) mission. Good tidings

/waves hand/ This is not the decently paid missions you are looking for Frontier

EDIT: Apparently my behind is censored, really? (though, I can understand, it is a pleasant sight) I even put a punctuation after the 3 initial letters

You should give it a try. I've picked elite mission with 6 targets. No mission object in a system, no rings, I looked for targets in degraded emission signal sources(threat 3). Those were weak as for elite level, one ship per signal source. I've even met pirate keelback, wanted mission target keelback. I smiled killing him.
