An Elite Dangerous community member has suggested a new variant for the Tactical Takedown operation that would replace the current few high-tier engineered ships with a larger number of smaller enemy vessels. The player appreciates the challenge but finds fights against engineered Pythons and Fer-de-Lance ships often drag on, making the experience less engaging. The proposed change aims to keep enemy skill high while removing shield and hull reinforcements to speed up combat. This idea highlights ongoing player interest in diversifying Operations gameplay for improved pacing and variety.
- Variant would feature more smaller ships instead of fewer large engineered ships.
- Enemy shields and hull reinforcements would be removed to shorten fights.
