I just hope you mods didn't change the difficulty of the missions too much. However if I'm having trouble doing a certain mission I sure can blow up convoys for some added cash.
Thanks again, your mods are amazing.

My mod does not change any of the mission encounters, the worst that could happen is that a randomly generated hostile fleet gets the jump on you while you are in the middle of a hairy battle, but the chances of that happening are extremely small (it has never happened to me).

The fleets and convoys themselves are very tough for random enemies, but still weak compared to what many of the missions will throw at you. If anything, if you are able to bust convoys than the game becomes easier. My recommendation is to head to some of the more pirate-infested sectors, preferably equipped with very good sensors. Avoid the pirate fleets, and smash the pirate convoys. You not only get a ton of money, but you can also get decent ships and decent equipment.
