Suggestion/compromise For Infested Territory/invasions

[Paradoxbomb]

Just throwing my two cents out on the whole infested invasion business. Right now the infested no longer own their own territory and instead invade random nodes and infect all nearby nodes (rather rapidly IMO). While this is interesting on paper and in game, the main issues seem to be:

 

-No place to reliably fight/farm infested

-Nyx is now reliant on the Phorid controlling another boss node

 

I think a good compromise would be to bring back just a few nodes to the solar map where the infested are always in control (such as Mantle on Earth, Io on Jupiter, Xini on Eris for the sake of nostalgia) so that way players still have a place to go to fight them, without the infested requiring complete control of entire planets. As for infested invasions, they will now occur in two ways:

 

-They will randomly begin to spring up from these permanent nodes, meaning players will occasionally have to force them back.

-Invasions will still be able to occur in completely random locations as they do now; however, instead of Phorid taking control of boss nodes, this boss fight will always be the "source" node, making it easier to get Nyx and keeping Phorid from preventing players from farming other bosses.

You already solved the two problems presented with your opening statement.

Infestation spreads fast.

You can now always reliably fight farm infested because there will always be an infestation somewhere.  Phorid will always be around because the infestation spreads faster than we can quash it, meaning it will always reach a boss node.

Just because you cannot always depend on the infested being in the same exact spot, does not mean that it's "not reliable".
