We need a story point option in which you go up to the relay patrols and tell them:
-Dude, you gotta let me get to the relay! I was watching porn in the diplomatic service's office computer and accidentally sent the link to half of the sector's representatives.
I've spat my water over the monitor reading this good sir. Bravo. You also better call it
P(ersean)Hub before the mods smite the joke making it not funny anymore
Aaaanyway. I also remember scratching my head in this mission, going back to my planet and going full nelson back at it again with just my phase ships and phase tenders since it was swarming with the little nasties in my campaign aswell and that's how I beat it.
Is the fact there's a stealth mission in late game where your fleet likely emits more signature than a small planetoid
"fun"? That's arguable really.
I also don't really like the fact you
got to sneak in no matter your standing with the
Hat Fetishists Hegemony, while a simple matter of
smash'n'upload or some
good-ol-bribing depending on the relations with the faction would feel a lot better.
