So once we're over fifty we should be good to go, even if we don't have 5 full completions?

yep.
least that worked for us.

you might need 1 completion on Task 1, cant say for sure
we had a few members autofail task 2 - but autofail stoped completly when we had 3 completions and 50 drones killed

We had over 50 killed with 1 completion, and no autofails after that. I'm guessing it just has to be over 50...

Any ideas of hidden requirements on the Crimson Deep 6 mission Task 1? I put 18k energy into npc hunting and didn't find a single drone.

I think they have 400 cloak, if I'm remembering correctly.

i ranked up 4 levels (around 12k energy) with 500 scan and only found one drone. sometimes it is just the RNG ...

the sniper drones have 400 cloak
took me 2 ranks = 17.000 energy to find them all with around 5.000 scan on ship
but what it comes down to is how many difrent NPC's you have and how lucky you are


the Siladon Mines from the The Siladon Event mission was a bit harder for me to find
took me 3.5 ranks = 29.000 energy and they have 0 cloak
one of the members of my legion used a small trick on these to help find them - he got his scan zeroed to awoid getting assassins and other cloaked NPC's on scanner, but I'm not sure how mutch energy it ended up costing him to find them


how easy they are to find, depends on your rank, once you lose the low level common NPC's like Dark Warper (rank 100), Drannik Replicator (rank 120), Ionic Battleship (rank 200), Sha'din Raptor(rank 140) the RG have less NPC's to chose from and that increase your chance to find sniper drones, Siladon Mines and the rest off the legion mission NPC's

Finally found one after 26k energy spent, at ~ rank 610 and 5k scan. I guess I'm just really unlucky.

how many kills/whats your attack?
what mission npcs are open still?

stoped counting kills some time ago (Non-Player Kills 36.767)
I'm rank 720 - 732 (depending on witch of the NPC runns you look at) and usealy running 15-17K attack + 4K or 5K scan for a NPC run, depending on boost and what I take offline/online

the only mission NPC I have atm is Rogue Data Analyzer
Stryll Assassin = around 50 energy to kill, Dark Runner = 10 energy to kill

so 17K energy for the sniper drones would be around 500-1000 kills, as I remember it I got 4 or 5 eliets (Xavox, Stryll Punisher, Lazuli Fabrication Plant) but no boss NPC

29K energy it took me for the Siladon Mines, would proberly be 1000 to 2000 kills,
but think I got a few boss NPC's on this run (one off them a XRP Warp Station), that would proberly reduce the number off kills to 800-1500


oure Foundry of War legion mission ends in 5 hours and 30 min, so if we get a legion mission that require NPC kills as the next one, I'll try to do a more accurate count off kills + how many boss/elites it takes me to to find them

Not sure how many kills it was, somewhere between 700-800 I think. Attack is ~6k unbuffed, had varying buffs on during an extended hunt. Dark Iso-Runners, Rogue Data Analyzers, Siltheon Drones, and Sha'Din Directory Cores. Got all my cores though.

just finished the The Siladon Event, mission 2 Disable Siladon Mines (again)
took a bit longer then exped as my scanner got blocked by boss NPC's, so had to wait a few hours to get a full crew on them

starting my run with Non-Player Kills 36.792 - ended it with Non-Player Kills 37.775
= 983 kills to get the 10 Siladon Mine

energy spendt 4 ranks (with 8670 max energy) = 34.680 energy
but, that also include the energy it cost me to lock the Grivv Prime and the other boss / elite NPC + what got shared in legion while I was hunting for the mines

Attack: 17.909 / Defense: 25K / Scan 5K
mission NPC's = Rogue Data Analyzer as the only one

this is what I had to go througth to get the mines

didnt count them, but the only common NPC's I have are
Sha'din Charger, Rogue Data Analyze, Crimson Flamehawk, Stryll Assassin, Rogue Tech Collector

my bedst guess with the data I have, is you will have to track down around 100-200 uncommon NPC's to find 10 uncommon mission NPC's
but might variate, depending on how many low rank common and uncommon mission NPC's you have activ
