I have done at least a dozen Venus patrols without getting any high value target patrols. Then material patrols started not dropping materials. Something must be up with Venus patrols in general.

The symbol for a VIP patrol is a star, when u get to a new area hit your ghost, you can see the symbol for every marker. Star inside a circle is VIP. If you don't see that symbol simply go to the next area and scan again. Venus always has at least one VIP, do it and go to orbit and come back. Rinse repeat and save time by not doing the ones you don't need. I do all the VIPs on all destinations three times each in about an hour
