NPC Fleet Hunting Missions

[Harcourt.Fenton.Mudd]

One thing that can be an issue is player activity in factions with 'big fleets' right? Like the Corsairs, Outcasts, Order and so on and so Houses.

Now what if there was a chance that there was a mission that offered a massive reward but it came at massive risk?

Here is an example 'kill all NPC mission' is somewhat more scripted.

Wave 1: There is a formation of Very Heavy Fighters of their faction armed to the teeth, scout ships in essence
Wave 2: Gunboat and bombers spawn as a retaliatory force against you (and your groups actions)
Wave 3: The big battle a medium to large fleet of capital ships with bombers as support, meaning you'd need a combined arms force to effectively take them down. Class goes up to Battleship class, though rare.

In essence, with times of low fleet activity in places, the NPC Fleet Mission can provide some practice as a group while earning some cash, and some RP "We win this day!" thing. We all know there are large fleets, maybe these kinds of missions would put it into some perspective on just how large.

Also, imagine the Order doing these missions against Nomad fleets, that would give us a sense of the good old days in SP right?

So, feedback?

It would be pointless as NPCs cloak at 2.5k, yet are still able to fire.

that gets fixed, NPCs are visable within any weapon range, then yes do it.

Of course, at that point you would need to increase the mission abort distance from the waypoint.

If it aborts at 3k or so prevents use of ranged weapons.
