Hi Suman
This post might better be placed in the Praise Rage and Rants... But regardless... here is your reply.
The mission you speak of here is a difficult, tedious, and frustrating mission - but it's not impossible.
Do pick a time when the planet is well populated.
First, when you decide to try it once again - announce that you will be attempting the mission in public chat and request a squad mate and request someone to serve as an escort. It would be ideal if you could find an escort for each squad mate. But it is no more difficult to finish the mission solo as it is to do in a squad - it just takes longer.
There are no mission mantis - so an escort can protect you as you search the planet.
Second, if you are in a squad - divide up the area to be searched and stick to the areas assigned. Search each area SLOWLY and methodically. It is easy to consider an area searched - when in fact you overlooked an area behind some building. It would be ideal if you could print out a map of the planet and cross off the areas where you have already looked.
Finally and what I think is most important. Use public chat. Many higher level pilots are on Molikar to grind for cry. They have all completed this mission and know how hard it is. Put out a request as you are about to leave orbit asking pilots to let you know if they see a weakpoint and tell you the coordinates. Many pilots do that anyway and without being asked when they see a weakpoint on the surface - so you need to watch your chat like a hawk.
Do not stop to fight mantis. Let your escort protect you and do the fighting. If you go all willy nilly on them and get yourself in trouble by not sticking to the job of searching - your escort will get annoyed and stop helping you. If you stop to pick up cry and scan blueprints instead of searching - it will also annoy your escort. Just GET the JOB DONE. This mission will take at least 30 minutes to complete and if you get into fights and pick up cry it will take longer - your escort has probably done this mission over and over and knows how to handle themselves and take care of you.
A word of advice - don't order your escort around and don't tell them what to do. They are helping you and have experience flying on hellacious planets with way more difficult mantis. Ask their advice and learn from them. Start bossing them around and you will soon find yourself in a bad spot without anybody to help you.
Finally, don't do this when someone else is also doing the mission. Weakpoint look like ghosts to other pilots and they will call out positions allllll over the planet - instead of 4 there will be 8 or more and you will lose your mind trying to keep track of them.
Oh wait a minute. I was wrong. The most important thing you can do - is once you have completed this mission THANK your escort. There are a million other things they can be doing and would rather be doing to advance their own game - but they are helping you.
Good luck!

ctfunnygirl, you are thinking of the wrong mission. this is the mission where you have to blow the weakpoints up.
yes the mission is hard, I suggest a engineer and a tank to do it, or as I have done it many times, with a shock next to an engineer or tank.

Agreed, the ship of choice for Mizar is a tank. Having a friend with an engineer helps.pbhuh said:
I did this mission a month or so ago in a fully rared Mizar tank, alone. No outside help at all. It was hard but I was able to complete it. I did pod about 2 seconds after getting the mission complete message.
What I do is as you approach a weakpoint, turn on shield and aim scrambler and get ready to repair. I also zoom in, to make the bomb easier to see. I will fly over the point to clear any mantis off of it then do a u-turn and click on the bomb. Scan then run.
hody...
