Why are Seeker droids not needed for NPC bounties? The Marks are always right at the waypoint they give you.
Surly the profit from the missions is enough to pay for the droids, especially with the extra charges. I realise this has always been like this, but nobody ever did NPC missions before. They make 30k+ each mission, and get a lot of tapes, you can do 10 missions per Seeker, but currently don't even need that.

This is not how it was when I tested it on TC-Prime. I'm betting that the missions were bugged with the last set of changes that occured after the code went to TC-Bria.

What level of missions are you running? The Inv 0-1 missions were always like this. Once you got to2they started moving and you needed to track them with seekers. Hmmmm...I'll have to give this a quick test and see if it's changed. I haven't run a BH mission in so long, I might have forgotten how.....

If someone could find out what's up and let me know, would be much appreciated (no BH for me)

I'm both master DE and a long time BH
Missions DO take BOTH probes AND seekers...the ONLY way they dont take seekers is if you are doing 1xxx BH missions
DO NOT WORRY....they take more now than ever...remember...track now uses a charge

Well, good news and bad. The track function does indeed use a charge. The bad news is that the marks aren't moving. I just ran 2 missions and the mark stayed put after I landed on the planet. It's probably something with the AI in the new marks. Anyone seen a mark run since the patch?
Oh, and yeah, the new marks are quite a bit tougher.....Ouch!

Hmmm interesting, maybe just a Scylla thing then?
In guild voice people were talking 30+ Bh missions total, only one person used a Droid on one mission. No the Marks weren't moving. Maybe it is a speed thing? These were the master level missions.

Very odd, forget my comment then, guess it may be just Scylla.

I've been running the missions all day, marks that don't start out in motion seem to be the exception, rather than the rule.
