When I'm in the star clusters I regularly see people skipping over the unknown systems trying to race each other to anomalies. Just a little FYI: unknown systems have anomalies too. You dont have to actually accept the mission, you can just warp in, grab up the anomalies, and warp out. Sometimes you get 4 different spawns in a fairly small amount of space, and its also your own little private instance so you dont have to race anyone

And when farming, the "Scan 5 anomalies" are a godsend. (Except when you're looking for energy and it gives you 3 physical and 2 technical instead.)
Even on the enemy confrontation, the NPCs wont spawn until you click continue. So you can just downsize the window and do as you please.
This may be true for Federation side but it is not so true for Klingon side. Anytime you get a mission to destroy asteroids or derelict ships, the spawns are there even if you minimize all pop ups.
I suspect THIS is the reason they call you the Grand Nagus! Always finding ways to maximize profit...
I do have a sneaking suspicion that this trick doesn't work 100% of the time but in that case they usually don't spawn on top of you - unlike a few Borg ships I can waggle my finger at...
I am not a huge fan of all the instancing as it is, but I deal with it lol.
Thanks for the tip btw.
Why abandon?
If you truly want to abuse the system, keep the missions. Just leave 'em. It'll create a nice bunch of boxes on the right side of the screen. Then just go from mission to mission, looting the anomalies and leaving them long enough for the server to dump the map.
