Make major factions send explorer/scavenger fleets to fringe regions
« on: September 11, 2019, 08:49:08 PM »
Exactly what it says, would like to see (transponder-off!) major faction fleets with quality capitals and cruisers instead of tired old A2s and C3s while exploring the edge of the sector. They don't have to be commonplace compared to generic scavengers/pirates, they only need to present occasionally.
Killing them should result in unusual intel and cargo, too.

Like bounties? Functionaly there is no good way to bring huge fleets to the outerr rim. Its hideously expensive.

When you do you have to eat a bunch of fleets at the end point. Which only really works with remnant

Turns out, this is canon at least for TriTach.
