A community discussion highlights player concerns about combat missions in Elite Dangerous. Despite using advanced ships like the Mamba and Anaconda, some commanders find missions repetitive and underwhelming. Many missions require eliminating 40 or more pirates but offer relatively low payouts around 8 million credits, not counting bounties. Players also report frustration locating suitable combat zones, often resorting to searching for conflict or extraction sites by flying around. This ongoing feedback points to challenges in mission balance and engagement value within combat gameplay.
- Typical missions involve killing 40+ pirates for ~8 million credits.
- Finding combat mission locations can be time-consuming and frustrating.
