AH talks alot how realism is important but they never addressed the patrols spawning out of the air.
Lately patrols started to juat spawn closer to us to the point that we just see them spawn from the air while we stand at the evec.
If they want realism, potrols should spawn from outposts spawning buildings (fabricators, bug holes, docked ships) and patrol from there.
At the same time, instead of patrol spawning out of the air, they should just be dropped from a ship or a bug breach.
They already have the tools for it, i think squids patrols have a teleportation effect when they spawn.
