Random distress call

Kinda like Red Alerts, but with more of a save the beleaguered ship theme. Ship in distress needs help as quickly as possible...shields down...systems failing...being boarded. Could have an initial space element followed by a beam over search/rescue/clear operation. Frequency would be far less than current red alerts.

Bad guys could include:

Delta Quadrant
Hirogen
Borg
Vaadwaur
Species 8472
Nakhul
Vidians

Beta Quadrant
Nausicans
Borg
Klingons
Tholians
Romulans
Orions
Nakhul

Alpha Quadrant
Ferengi
Nakhul
Breen
Vorta/Jem'Hadar
Borg
Maquis
Tholians

Could even add one that has no bad guys at all, but instead just assist damaged vessel with repairs.

Any combination or number of these could add up to an achievement or a new title.

Announcement could be in a similar style to Red Alerts but big box would be a yellow clickable instead 'GENERAL DISTRESS CALL' These would spawn very infrequently and you would have to be in a specific sector in a specific quadrant in order to even receive it.

    Everything with a random element that doesn't require queues or timegates is a automatic +1 pig-1.gif​​
