Just an idea to tie in with the currently increasing Thargoid presence.

In order to ensure humanity can continue even if there were a large scale invasion of the Bubble by the Thargoids without relying solely on Colonia the powers that be start secret Ark colonies. For independent pilots there would be linked missions to (mix as needed)
– transport certain commodities to "uninhabited" systems (or rather systems neighboring them) with the instructions to squad up with an NPC, activate the fleet beacon in system and then abandon the cargo before jumping out
– DSS a certain planet/moon in a certain system and return that data
– deliver/pick up materials to/from an autonomous extractor (in case of pickup "abandon" in orbit)
– scan specials signals in multiple systems to check for potential Thargoid activity
– whatever else might be interresting

All of this would have to happen far enough from the Bubble to be a "safe distance" (say at least 3kly) and this could easily run for months. Initial mission pickup would be random but seldom so that not too many players get introduced and both heavy and casual players can get in on it.

What do you think? Good idea, bad idea, improvement suggestions?
