Question about Remnant battlestations
« on: August 16, 2019, 04:24:31 PM »

I've recently started going to high danger level systems and destroying all the Remnant Battlestations because they drop 2-3 alpha cores, I've Skimmed through them all, including Medium systems, now for the question,
do they respawn?

Nope.  If you want an unlimited supply of AI cores, you need to go after the lower-drop-rate remnant fleets.  As long as the station is around, the fleets will keep respawning, but once the station dies, that's that.

In general, my advice would be to only kill the remnant stations if you want to colonize that system.  (Or, okay, if you need alpha cores now or the system isn't going to be useful or convenient to farm later.)

I tend to clear systems that are far away, you only really need to keep one or two systems for farming.

Depends on the purpose of the farming; I've occasionally kept some around just to have a place I can drop in to top off on fuel and supplies.
