I tried this out, and you can get 1 player group missions, and I believe you get more for it than if you do a regular 1 player mission.

Yeah, but they're harder too.

Instead of "Jump around randomly killing some easy bot" it's "you know what to kill, but it's harder to do so".

Atleast for me at 5/4/5/5 that's how it looks.

This is not a bug but a feature that has been do-able since group missions were introduced.

Instead of a step-by-step order of what to kill, you get a list of bots to kill and you can do them in any order you prefer. When the list is complete, you get a new list.

[inaccurate info edited out...thanks, Spellcast]

actually the points awarded are based on the highest level person in the group. and so is the bot list.

high level example -
level 13 combat level 14 light wpns lvl 13 hvy lvl 14 trade

single wave:

solo combat mission - kill 14 bots - seems fixed per wave
reward is +900/ +800/ +800/ 5-6K cash
bots announced one by one

solo group combat mission - kill 9 to 11 bots - seems it varies

reward is +1350/ +1250/ +1250/ 11-12K cash
bots announced as a wave so easier to preplan route

My bad, Spell. I thought the high player had to be the starter.

nope, when i took a mission and then added andy to my group, the bot list grew by 6 bots and the reward went up to his levels. :)
