Getting that one elite special task ship for... Defeating a random patrol fleet that doesn't even include it? Buddy, they don't even give you their actual ships after you invest time in trying to research their technology, and you expect THAT as a prize for defeating some randos
First off, I know that you don’t get their actual ships, otherwise you would have infinity resistance due to the extra resistance pilot perk. Your ships that you get only have 125 % resistance.
Second off, do you really think defeating 27 triple veteran ships and 3 capital ships of the strongest faction should give you the same reward as killing a very weak space worm or killing a underleveled bawr? Any one of those capital ships in that strike force probably have around 10x more hp than that large military vessel or that space worm.
Thirdly, not everything has to make sense! Like the bawr beam does like 1000000000M dmg while the lich ray beam does like 225k dmg even through they look basically the same! Plus, the rift looks 12x bigger than the lich while actually only being twice as big.
If the reward is so bad, everyone is just gonna surrender to the strike force as there is basically no point in defeating it.
Also, wdym special task ship? There’s no “special task” to get the ship.
