That would defeat the point of doing a PATROL. You aren't just clearing the Nav Points, you are clearing the space between the Nav Points as well.

I don't think that's the point of doing a patrol. Either that or whoever hires you is really stupid.... Otherwise, why in the name of god do you still get paid for flying through the nav points out of sequence and not "clearing" anything on your path?

Patrol and scout mission only require you to fly throught the nav point. Any mission-designated enemies present will chase you until you blow them up, jump or land. Clearly nav points are only for the sake of the game designers, it makes it easier to place enemies.
