Horizons a neat trick on skimmer destruction missions - pick up cargo mission, go for POI

[goemon]

if you like to do skimmer destruction missions, but are not flying a ship to attack a base, you can go for POIs 100 km around the base (blue circle) - they will spawn skimmers of the right minor faction, wanted in 90% of all cases.

today i found something new: if you pick up a "fetch cargo mission", aka "bring 6 T of tea", not only POIs will be spawned to have that cargo, but you can target the cargo from some km away from your ship - it makes it much easier to find the POI in the POI.

POI-ception? I've experienced bases seem to have sub-bases nearby sometimes. When I ran out of skimmers I often just had to hop over the next hill and kill them.
