Escalation - Pulverize the Pioneers

"Throughout this last fight, your radar equipment has been busy chewing on information about incoming and outgoing vessels and it seems it has a very large group of ships that left this place few minutes before you arrived. You have no clue why they left, were they fleeing? Or was it a coincidence? Either way, there is only one way to find out."

There are 2 abandoned drones on warp-in and a Sentient Sunder Drone. Killing a first abandoned drone spawns a wave of 8 to 10 drone frigates.

May escalate further.

"There is no trace of the ships themselves, but you pick up signals from a score of astrometric probes in the area. If this were not drones, one could think they were looking for a place to settle. Though faint, your instruments manage still to discern the current location of this mysterious group of ships."

There are approximately 8 to 10 drone frigates on warp-in. Additionally, there are two spawns of 4 to 7 frigates that spawn when two of the frigates are destroyed.

Destroying the Sentient drone may trigger an escalation.

"These ships which you seem to have caught off guard, represented only a fraction of the group indicated by the signal your radars have been picking up. Moreover now the origin of the main signal seems to be close, very close."

There are approximately 8 to 10 drone frigates on warp-in. Additionally, there is a spawn of 4 to 7 frigates which appears when one of the frigates is destroyed.

Destroying the Sentient drone may trigger an escalation.

"You dont remember having seen such a large and rabid swarm of rogue drones before, luckily they were gimpy as heck. You wonder what they were trying to defend in such a desperate manner, throwing themselves at you wave after wave until all were oblitherated. The signal is weaker but still there..."

There are 3 frigates and 2 cruisers and a frigate named "Researcher". Additionally, there are 3x spawns of 2 to 6 frigates.

Destroying the last spawn of frigates may trigger an escalation.

"The drone transports were easy prey after you had previously wasted most of their escort ships. You wonder what they were doing here in the middle of nothing and conclude that the only plausible reason is that you must have intercepted and destroyed a new rogue drone colony in the making."
