^What you said is 100% my thoughts on the matter as well.

Because now that the excavators spawn all over the map it makes the entire mission feel like a mobile defense with power cells. I tried running pluto hieracon few times for r5 cores and it has become really tedious. Before the change I was quickly able to get three extractors done (2 chances at r5 core bundles and one quaranteed T3/T4 key) and complete the mission because even solo you could defend nearby excavators simultaneously. Now you have to run all over the map (usually several tiles between excavators) and its really boring because it feels that half the mission you spend running around.

But if I want my cores+keys+credits I have to force myself to go though this borefest over and over again. If someone knows better way to farm these items I would most certainly want to know.

And I don't mind RNG that much. Even if I don't get cores all the time as long as the method is efficient im okay with it.
