Convoy beacons should have more interesting stuff for pirates!

Yoho!

So i got thinking on trying to find another good activity for piracy PVE instead of the LTD heists...

I got me thinking why the hell Security forces would send a Python and 4 vultures to escort this cargo...

If you go looking for it this is hardly 50K if you get everything, which means destroying 4 Vultures and disabling the Python.

Another screenshot(old) that proves my point:

This is an t-9 being escorted by 3 anacondas and 3 vultures...

In this case its hardly 100k For so much targets... even a BIG3 would have trouble getting this cargo...


So in SUM, why this beacons are in game? (a side with the fact that they spawned UAs and UPs..)

Would be better giving then more cargo OR more valuable cargo? I mean on the first case "scientific research" is a salvageable item that worth 230cr BUT Scientific Samples worth 140k why not put a pair of these (frankly, at least 5) in the first example? so this could be an interesting challenge with a decent reward?

In the second example this is an insane challenge, taking down all these ships or trying to steal that cargo would require at least 4 ships, why not make it that the t-9 has way more cargo I mean at least 1-5M worth in cargo (which could be 30xhafnium and some large survey data) anything is better than the ridiculous amount that it has right now!

Seems logical.

Risk = Reward.

Plus it would give some reason to actually bother with those convoys.

They are kind of can be used now if you want to push civil unrest in a system, but its a damn hard way to do it when you can find lone traders flying in SC that you can kill a lot easier.
 
Excellent idea. Should give more reward than killing the equivalent ships in a RES since you don't have the system cops helping you, instead they might show up to blast ya.
