Spec Ops Mission - Kill Civilian Targets - What is the point?

May I ask the purpose of these missions? What is the point? I have over 1 day to dcomplete them but man, its like impossible to find those civilian targets. I found one after a 20-30 minute search in SC. I would need to kill 36 civilians. What is the point in these? Anybody ever does these missions? Am I doing something wrong or is it really this insanely tedious and time consuming to find my targets?
So 1/36, 35 to go. I think I will pass. On top of that I would get a ton of bounty on my head, tho the mission sais that my notoriety would not increase (doubt).

Those never worked for me. In my experience the targets never spawn before the timer runs out. I dont know why they still appear on missions boards.
 
Wait, are you searching individual targets or are you looking for the mission target USS. Usually in those I find 5-6 mission targets. Took me about 30-45 minutes to complete the mission.
 
Sounds like you're working for a Criminal/Dictatorship faction. Gotta show the Law who really runs things around here! Polar opposite to the Pirate Massacre missions.

Gotta track the trade routes in the system between the Nav Point and a Space station. Targets should be easy to find and just rip them from SC. Can't find one? Drop to normal space and then jump back into SC.
 
Thank you for all the replies. I tried, then I realized its just not possible nor fun to try to individually hunt down 36 civilian mission targets. The mission was a failure :( Well never again, I guess you learn something new every day.
 
With the new C&P system in place these missions are even more useless... the cost to pay off the resulting bounties from such a murder spree is probably several orders of magnitude higher than the reward, unless you use a cheap throwaway-ship to do it.
