I suggest the following for new misson types:
VIP- rescue from Thargoid/ Pirate attacked megaships/ regular ships.
In short a mission type with high risk and high reward.
Step 1:
Either get hailed by a Megaship under attack that needs evacuation or get the mission from a Mission board.
Step 2
Find Megaship and evade Thargoids to pick up a VIP.
Step 3
Escape with VIP on board and Thargoids in pursuit. Meaning the mission favors small, fast and agile ships.
I'm thinking a variation on this could be that Thargoids/ pirates are loitering around a destroyed ship and you need to rescue the pilot i.e scoop him/her up. And escape. A further variant could be set in a asteroid field. EVEN BETTER: a more volatile asteroid field several km thick. If science tells us thats not possible maybe a crashed megaship causing debris floating around making it harder to navigate safely.
