A wing of 40?
Are they using complete RNG for missions as well or is there ANY logic for them?
Sure, 40 harmless E rated Eagles MIGHT be surviveable but the sheer strength of numbers would kill us in seconds.
Im ok if there was something like:
-Elite Rank X 10% of Ship Value X Wing Size
Not to mention that the mission should damn well inform us if he is a random murdered or a militia leader with his own FLEET.
