I'd never put in anything that went along the lines of "drop everything your doing and go chase this target that you might not find". In fact, i've removed radio messages that could imply that.
As to topic, you don't HAVE to follow mission orders. All you HAVE to do is earn enough renown for the patrol to be considered successful. How you earn that renown is up to you. You could complete mission after mission if traffic is low, or not.
Personally, if its the patrol for X days, ill do it, and if i sink enough, i'll not radio in, and go back to port when im good and ready. If im not seeing enough, ill report in and see about a new mission, which I may or may not do. If it's doable, i do it. If its not, then i poke around the general area for something to sink.
