Quick thought about reusing patrol systems

Just a quick thought. I know its possible to reused the same system for more then one mission. I think DS9 is currently at 3 or even 4. So the tech is in place.

My thought. Once you hit Rear Admiral lets open those systems we have done all those patrols on back up. However, instead of just replaying them make new ones. Specifically within each patrol section ie cluster of 3-5 sytems make 1 or 2 of them have a new mssion that opens up once you have done it once and have achieved the rank of Admiral. Furhtermore, it would be cool of they were distress call in origin. In other words you have to fly near the sytem to get a distress call to get the mission.

This accomplished two things:

1) More content with very little additional work

2) spreads the admirals around instead of all of them in one spot. Admirals should be everywhere but currently are greatly concentrated in Gamma Oronis and maybe around K7 but I see few elsewhere.

Just a thought comments welcome.

    Cryptic's plan is to reuse all the planetary systems they have in place at some point. Unfortunately it takes a long time to produce content for the game - even simple content like patrols. If Cryptic could just whip-up 100 new missions in only a couple of months we wouldn't have any content problems in the game at all. Remember, it took them 2 years just to create the content the game already has.
