Get rid of the Killing Spree mission

It's buggy and useless, and it just confuses newbs.

The mission premise is sound but the payout is worthless. Perhaps if it adjusted for level?

combat 1 - collectors, 5000 credits
combat 3 - assaults 10000 credits
combat 5 - Guardian 50000 credits
combat 7 - queens 100000 credits
combat 9 - Levis 5000000 credits

Might also be a good candidate for group usage...

No, I wouldn't go as far as levis, but, you could give them a choice on what bot they would like to kill, and reward them accordingly...
imho It might be a pretty good incentive for group work, and could you guys (please) make this mission group available in EVERY station, only if the above changes go ahead.

killing spree, is where u have to kill other nation guards, not hive. totally agree with slime, the mission is a pain in the ass, and even if u take the mission and cancel it, u loose standing.

I would like to see it gone also

Killing spree is a mission where you get 1000creds for 10 bots, its not the "Kill high profile targets" mission. :P

I kind of like the fact the mission doesn't discriminate what kind of bot you must kill. Just go kill 10 random bots 'cause they are annoying. yeah, why not?

It's simple, doesn't take too long... I don't play it myself because there are better ways of earning money, but I have heard some positive feedback about it from newbies in game.

Perhaps you could be more specific about the mission, slime. What is buggy, why is it useless...

1) What is buggy? It counts backwards.
One kill == 1 bot left!
Two kills == 2 bots left!
Three kills == 3 bots left!
etc.

2) Why is it useless? It confuses newbies and doesn't help them progress in the game. I can't count the number of times I've heard a newbie asking if there are better ways to level up or get money because their mission "only gives them 1000 credits". I also frequently hear newbies saying they're taking the mission and then immediately being told that they should be taking Basic Combat Practice.

Does it give combat ex? Is it useful to gain combat ex if you just want to go hunt system queens?

If so... then I would prefer just fix the counting issue, and perhaps raise the min req to combat 4 or so.

It doesn't give different amounts of XP based on what you shoot. It just gives flat, static amounts. It should be removed.

i believe it only gives money. You do get XP from killing bots, but you get the same amount without the mission.
