One change to improve Conquest
While there are many things that could be changed about conquest, one change I would really like to see is getting rid of the hard path.
Make it so any path gets you the same number of disk nodes, just like it was at the start.
With the hard path, the rest of the map may as well not exist for me. I need the options to get disks for loadouts, and for the chance of finding some of the critical techs for getting feats done. It was on the second to last disk node in sector 5 when I finally got a disk that was going to allow me to do some of the feats this time, so I felt the need to stay on the hard path no matter what.
I think I could count on one hand the number of times I even looked at a node off the hard path in the last 4 or 5 conquests.
The map, and plotting your path, was one of the interesting aspects of conquest, and I think that is gone now.
