An idea for more ‘agency’ in Orthrus hunting…

Currently going into "Alert" status systems and finding and killing Orthruses (Orthri? lol) is the most effective way to thwart Thargoid invasion plans… however, the long wait for them to RNG turn up in threat 4 signal sources is tedious compared to the way more fun surface settlement and station combat pew pew…

So, how about if there was more of a way to feel like we can actually hunt them down, such as

  • scan thargoid probes, scouts or an Orthrus itself to temporarily reveal (e.g. for ten minutes) where others are in a FSS scan (where otherwise we just have to wait for them to pop up) and so be able to more feel like we are taking the fight to them.

or ways to force them to appear at a location, such as

  • scoop up a thargoid probe, go into supercruise for a few seconds, drop back to normal space, jettison the probe… making them come to investigate why their probe was moved.

Anyone got some other ideas?

Otherwise I have to go make a cup of tea in between any interaction with any Orthrus that eventually appears, and then I inevitably need to pee when I am in battle with one lol
