Then again, you fight a TT armada for Volturnian lobster seeding,
Is it true? When I did this quest last time (and that was really long time ago) there was a possibility to acquire lobsters without single fight. Just dialogues. And some money.
And marines...
And to the Odysseus, well, have anyone ever fight remnants in a hight-danger systems? Radiant officers a usually have almost the same amount of skills, Odysseus does. And the nexus-piloting officers, just like a star fortress (If you install alpha core there) officers are equivalent in power to Odysseus. So, I think "Ody" is lore-friendly as AI-officer. And the ship is a derelict from the past, and even then it was rare and overpowered. Single ship does not do much impact on game, even if it so OP. Especially if it is a Conquest. I vote not to nerf.
Regarding to that... The only really odd thing that quest have - why would Ody pilot Conquest, not Odyssey?
One possible solution is to prevent Odysseus from contacting the player until they reach a certain level. Any other ideas?
Reasonable. Like lvl 40? Or is it too much?
