Oh, finnally! I always was wondering why outcasts never attack Atka!
Also, I propose to get some outcasts in cargo hold of reseach station, as currently research goes on them, or any other addicted...
I think it should look like: "Research St." is going to Ogashawa to get armor upgrade, as outcast attacks are quite often today and sometimes they're even trying to assault "Research". Cryer takes some escorts from Mercenaries and from Escort Division.
"Research" starts going with escorts to Sigma-19 jumpgate, one or two escort are going to scout and then Outcasts are attacking "Research". Outcasts' goal isn't to destroy "Research", they need to capture it to see Cryer cardamine's progress and save their bretheren and sisters.
Scouts are facing one or two outcasts, so Cryer's forces are separate.
While being attacked, "Research" calls for help to Ogashawa (where should be ~4 GMG fighters).

That's only suggestion, so don't kill me:)
