I know people are meant to survive to do many missions, but since you can always hyperspace away I think it should be a bit harder. Maybe the odd Thargoid battleship to keep the naval frigates busy.
And maybe some of the battle could be smaller (eg 5 on each side), and some could be bigger. Just for more variation (with minimal coding effort for you!)
Could you get the thargons to arrive in the midst of the fleet sometimes as well? Like one of the missions in assassins (I think) where there's a huge battle all around the station.
Actually, the tharglets seems to be inactive even when there are some other thargons are about. Are they getting deactived when their parent dies instead of checking to see if anyone else can adopt them? That would make it harder!
One other suggestion, could you add a yes/no option when the mission is described? Or is it meant to be a case of 'you've signed up to the navy, you'll go where we tell you to go!'?
thankyou for making the OXP
