In my current game the only mission Korolov stations gave me (in 3 systems) was to escort any freighter to the same stargate over and over again. This was incredibly easy and boring.

This is better in 1.8 Alpha 3:

  • There is an additional mission to escort a freighter from a gate.
  • You can more easily choose which freighter to escort.
