This is nothing new. The amount of Marks given has always been not worth doing, unless you are only after the daily Bonus to start the reputation project. That is really all it has ever been useful for.
a. the mission is bugged if you fail the optionals. so not a very good test for these hoped for changes.
b. the mission has always paid much less marks than most missions.
c. people play this for the argonite not the marks.

"With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably."
My experience with the queue is unchanged since the reward change.
FOr the last several months, you are lucky if ships respawn at the checkpoints in order to rescue them. As such, it is next to impossible to meet the optionals because there aren't enough points on the board to do so.
In order for this queue to be worthwild it really does need to be operational 100%, and in my experience it has not been, at least as far back as the season 9 release. I am willing to test this further once a consistent number of ships load throughout the mission.

I only did one run last night and it had about 3-4 minutes with no ships spawning. And I think there's something about Azure in the bug section.
