NPC's for assassination location info missing?

I've been into ~35 USS/WSS/SSS instances between the 3 listed locations in the mission text, the NPC's who give the target location are not popping at all. All I've had is a T6 offer me 1/10 of the reward to flip and let the target go. I don't want to do that.

I'm working under the assumption that regular Assassination missions are still using this mechanic?
 
Can confirm, I was offered the chance to abandon mission but cannot progress the mission by finding the pirate's location. What a waste of time...
