Per this month's update: http://galaxylegion.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=44232


I am curious why this is a Fix? It seems like it would make doing the missions more difficult since you can't work towards the NPCs while waiting for the cooldown.

becourse some of the NPC's you get from missions can actualy be quite anoying

remember the Litheor Deepspike ?
only stayed on scanner for 10 min, but with no way other then re-mod to remove them
with the spawn rate they had, it was quite easy to fill your scanner wth 6 to 8 of them, making it imposible to kill any more NPC for the next 4 to 8 min

it would have been nice to have a way to controle when you actualy got them on scanner


as for not beeing able to work on getting the NPC's while the mission is on cooldown, that's crap.
all you need to do is delay the last click that puts the mission on cooldown, until you are done hunting for them.....
combined with the Kriell, Tejiar Commander ability (Resets the timer on 1 available daily mission that you most recently completed.
Costs 1 Raix to use.) it quite easy to get around that block if you think about what you are doing

This is exactly how I am handling the new mission. Never on cool down this way; I can't double up but finding enough NPCs is a bigger issue for days when I can't do dedicated NPCing so this means I have a chance to find them all the time now.
