10mins survival too boring for invasion alerts to repeat 3 times

[Emeryst]

Just finish 3 X 10mins survival to acquire the battle pay for an invasion alert and I was really burnt out.

I know it used to be 5 times to get battle pay for Corpus VS Grineer invasion and now it is only 3 times like the infested invasions. But why are some missions like Spy and Sabotage shortened (only one data vault or one fuel cell) in invasion alerts while survival is a lengthy 10 full minutes? 

Hopefully survival can be shortened to only 5mins to be comparable to faster missions like capture or extermination that can be done in 2-3 mins if you know the tile set well.

Every mission repeated 3 times is boring. Survival is just most boring. I wish DE expanded Assault mission type and made invasions use them with only one needed mission instead of three.

They rotate every 15 minutes, you can be in time for 2 survivals, but after that they should change for another type.

As for making them shorter - it would also make them extremly easy (like they aren't easy as is).

would prefer shifting the Enemy Spec to start full in Invasions, so that you don't spend the first like 9 minutes in the Survival picking your nose, waiting for stuff to start happening.

that would make a big difference.

5 Minute survival being easy would depend on how they program enemy spawns and levels for survival invasions. DE has shortened or changed defense missions in the past and kept the same difficulty by having enemies levels scale faster and/or increasing spawn rate.  This means that DE could totally shorten the mission length  and maintain difficulty. Defense alerts used to be 20 waves now they are 10 with faster scaling and spawning.

is this true? because I took short 3-5 mins breaks between the 10 mins mission so the entire process took more than 40 mins and the mission type was always survival.

No, it isn't, now I experienced it too. However, I remember DE saying that the invasion mission type should cycle every 15 minutes.

You are right. DE said "The mission type at a particular Invasion node will change every 15 minutes." when they released Update 19.

But we need to remember this, "at a particular Invasion node". The mission type will not always change.
