Sometimes during patrols we come across a system that really doesnt need to be grouped up for. You might have to scan or collect six of this or that, or have to talk to a few people. So I have been listing the systems that you dont need a group for.
To keep from joining an auto-group, click on the person in the chatbox, and choose the icon of the little person, not the one with the x-ed out circle or the one with the two clones behind him.

These are not listed by sector, but rather in order of encountering... Im only up to Captain 3, and have finished Cardassian and the sector before Bajor, so I havent finished Admiral yet.

Pico
Beyton V
Cernon
Zenik
Celes
Chulan
Kaiell
Dera
Muso
Aihai
Vohran
Fvillhaih
Llaiir
Chapel
Kinjun

*Culver - Culver is of special note, its the only one I have encountered where it starts out as a solo patrol mission, and ends up in a battle.

    In my experience there is at least one mission in every patrol group that you do not want to do in a group. I have not kept track of the missions and I remember all of these you mention as being of that kind but it doesnt seem like you have anywhere near enough.

    Did you skip some patrol missions?

    None of the patrol missions require a group.

    I have had auto-group off since forever, not because I want to play alone but because I got tired of not getting completion credit when grouped. Supposedly improvements have been made in this regard, but I'm so put off by the bad experience that I have yet to try auto-grouping again.

    I've had the opposite epxerience. The auto-group makes the fights a bit more challenging. And I've yet to have any trouble not getting credit.

    So there is some anecdotal evidence (mine) that they fixed some of those issues.
