After more than a thousand hours of Elite Dangerous, I've finally gave stacking pirate massacre missions a try this week. And boy, was it fun. I really enjoyed it, especially because of two very useful tools developed by fellow commanders from our community:
However, as I was improving my reputation with the local factions at 36 Persei, I suddenly stopped getting pirate massacre missions on the board. I went check for the faction states and realized none of them were under Pirate Attack anymore.
My questions are:
How long should I expect to get a decent flow of massacre mission in a source system given that the system and faction states change periodically? Is it just a week, or can I manage for it to be longer?
What would be a strategy to keep the reputation I've built with the factions at the source system in the long term for stacking pirate massacre missions?
I'm off to find a new source system with the correct states for pirate massacre missions (war, civil war or pirate attack, what else?), but I'd like to know if the work I put towards a given source system is only bound to last a week.
