When interacting with neutral/friendly AI ships sometimes they will offer you a quest/challange, you cannot get these from station defender ships.
example: you hail a neutral hauler, and theres a unique quest such as-
Stay within a ion storm for X amount of time, reward is cash or diamond (ion mats)
Find lost loot in the scanner clouds, reward is cash or a free scanner block (forgot name)
Fight off a unique enemy that dwells within a energy cloud, can be 2 types- type 1 is a ship with no energy based weapons/shields, type 2 is a ship purely using energy based systems/weapons. you are not told what type, and there should be multiple of each type

and more, they shouldnt all be nebula focused just thought they where good examples

Love the idea of little unique quests

Because this idea makes players check neutral ships more often (mainly non haulers) there can be extra scenarios that happen, like-
A pirate hides themself as a neutral/ally, when you open a comm link to them they send some virtual virus to your bridges, this shuts the system down for a few seconds allowing them to attack without you being able to fight back.
due to this tho the ship themselfs will be 2-3 levels below that system and wont spawn in 6 or below systems

or maybe the quest ship stops and hails you - i don't want to hail every cargo ship i see to do one of these

so you hail them and they accept you know theres some interaction but if they dont yk theres nothing

i think if the quest giver is also running around, they should come to you, not the other way around

#

i don't imagine chasing someone that might have a quest being fun

other ships hailing you would be sick honestly
