I did this ground Patrol on Elite while the Endeavor for defeating captains on the ground was available and she did not count towards that endeavor. Please fix.

Defeat Captains Ground - - Nimbus Stronghold. Upper Platform Orion Captain, respawns every few minutes.
Enter the main gates, take a sharp right go up the stairs, take another right to the top of the platform,
Orion captain killable as many times as needed just takes time .
Just pointing out in that mission it's the Mirror universe ADMIRAL Janeway not Captain. Plus, she a borg, don't know if she counts toward kill borg endeavors though.
I think she counts toward Borg ground kills, but there are far better missions to rack up a Borg body count. As for her not counting as a captain, she does bear the "captain" NPC rank (four bars). And there are other non-captain NPCs that count as captains, such as in the Voth ground battlezone (those big mechs that show up every now and then and try to push you off the claiming circle with their humorously huge shields).
As someone who been playing this game since open beta, on Elite difficulty with my endeavor points max out, and a member of the Diamond DPS channel I can safely state that you guys are wrong.
I have killed higher rank NPCS and still got credit. On the Dyson sphere you have "generals" and other NPC that count towards the captain kills. The Dyson sphere is my favorite hunting spot for most ground endeavors. It's a target rich environment with a lot of captain+ level NPC's and when you do the missions you get a lot of dill. I like picking missions that cover a lot of stuff. I know which ones gives the best results because I have been playing this game so long and on elite difficulty. I'm also in a good fleet that has a lot of players with great knowledge of this game and how it works. Being in a fleet is so beneficial.
Nimbus is a terrible spot for killing things. Rewards are awful and the bosses only spawn on the hour and half hour. I only go there when an endeavor states I have to or I need to kill a bunch of those scorpions creatures.
On Elite difficulty, patrols will give more enemies so fulfilling most killing endeavors easy. This particular patrol will give you enough borg and I can complete it in under 3 minutes. Which is a lot faster than doing "Into the Hive."
I like doing patrols since there are no timers and I don;t need to carry weaker players that don't know the mission, have no DPS, and may cause TFO to fail. My away team is designed with so much crowd control, aoe damage, and healing that they can wipe out most Elite ground map without my input.
If you guys don't regularly play on Elite difficulty you really should not be giving your opinion on something you have no experience with.

Ah somebody else who understands the game. Thanks.
On elite I can do this particular patrol quicker than "Into the Hive" with more than enough body kills to complete a 60 or 80 body count endeavor easily. I treat endeavors like dailies and I like to get through them quickly when possible. For my taste I prefer doing this one over the others Ground Borg maps like "Defera ground adventure zone" that are available and I don't need to travel anywhere to get to it. As you most likely know as an end game player there are times you just want to get through it quickly.

This is a good spot for kill captains credit as long as the instance isn't crowded at the Stronghold.

The respawn time for the Orion Captain in the Stronghold is two minutes.
