Mod that has ''training'' encounters?
It would be nice to have a mod where you can experiment with things like taking out a Titan with a Starflier. For this to be efficient there should always be exactly one ship of the desired kind in the target area, and no other ships of any kind. The encounters in the original game involve too many ships and in most cases it is likely that additional wings of fighters arrive at the scene.
I know it is possible to do this by modding encounters, but the encounter stuff seems a bit involved and so I thought I'd ask before spending a couple of hours studying encounter arcana.
One way of doing this would be to set up encounters in areas that are conveniently close to a space station. One area would have Titan with Adv. Brigandine shield, another Titan with the level 8 graviton, yet another could have Sabre or Eagle, or GMG weapons instead of neutron/tachyon. Players would have to look up the area coordinates in a readme file but for this purpose it would be adequate.
