this is probably old news to most but I've just worked it out and tried it.

scenario.

you got a protecting traders cg going only you cant get to the res sites cos as usual, certain cmdrs are going to attempt to cordon them off. frustrating.

why not take some massacre pirate missions on FROM THE SAME STATION YOUR CG IS BASED at.

stack them if you can going after the same group of pirates but only one mission from each mission giver.

nothing wrong with getting pay for 20 kills and only having to do ten.
these massacre missions are almost always in a different system but you claim your bounty from the cg station completely bypassing those cordons.

I also didn't realise that you don't even have to search for those pirate groups, use the new scanner to find the signal sources.

as long as you go into those signal sources with an empty cargo hold, there may be 7 - 8 nps's in there but they don't seem to attack until you do and then only singly.

like shooting fish in a barrel.

like I said maybe to most this is old news but if it gets the weaker cmdrs around these over engineered ******** and they get to have some fun, hell job done.

It doesn't have to be missions, the bounties just have to be from the same minor faction that offers the CG. If there's a haz next door with the same faction, you can just hunt there. Pirates also check those, though generally only when they run out of meat in the main system.

I just came across this thread looking for a solution to the massacre mission bug. Seems there is no solution. Just randomly hunting pirates is fun but doesn't increase rank much, or at all. As a solo player my options for combat missions are limited and I'd rather not spend my time space trucking. I don't block others progress (in fact I haven't seen a soul in days anyway) but if that's the only way to get confirmed kills I think it's time to abandon this game and find a different space simulator worth playing... oh wait. Now I'm even sadder.

I have not had the massacre mission bug (I only do pirate massacre ones) maybe I got lucky... However I am a largely solo player. You CAN do most of the combat missions just keep away from wing ones (,mostly due to the insane numbers involved).

You may need to spec your ship a little better however if you do not have other wing mates to help you out.

The problem with massacre missions is that they are usually bugged and can't be completed.

I have to say I disagree.
On the current CG I have taken 4 mill of bounty off massacre missions. You are of course welcome to wing with me.Only done one Res flight. Had to leave quick when another Cmdr ran across my line of fire
..sorry about that whoever you was....

My point was that I have been actively blocked from getting to the Res sites so taking the massacre missions I can avoid that. Also
I get mission pay
Bounty
And CG reward.

Why would anyone, play in mode where other players get to frustrate them?

Leave them in Open play in Solo. Play your game, not theirs. Simples

I do find dodging gankers puts a certain spice on the game. Outwitting them mainly and if I do get stopped blasting straight through leaving them standing.
