After fighting three groups of spacer ships around satellites, the player meets with Alban Lopez, Chanda Banda and Jackie Lemaire on Lemaire's ship, and is sobsequently tasked by Alban to defeat two more groups of spacer ships in the orbits of two randomly chosen planets. Those two groups are ridiculously hard to fight, and way more difficult than the initial three groups. They also are way harder than anything thrown at me by random encounters in planet systems that compare to my current level. It's also conspicuous that these groups consist of four identical ships each (elsewhere in the game, groups of enemy ships consist of various ship types), so I wonder whether the leveled list they're drawn from are missing a flag, pretty much in the same way as the workshop supermutant attacks in Fallout4.
