Summary0021713: Instigator bases no longer appear on the map if you don't have vision of them
DescriptionA pain in the ass, since the only thing that alerts you to an instigator base spawning is a tiny pop-up "Instigator base spawning on < XXX >". If you happen to not catch it, you could be sitting there getting a 400% strength CPA with no way to tell anything is even happening.

Badger, I think that these should be a rare exception that breaks the vision rules, since they are essentially a quest and trying to scout things constantly would be a huge pain. If you've ever seen the planet then I think these should be visible.

I think the same should be true for the devourer and the zenith trader.

So I guess basically a flag to say "always visible if at least explored."

There is in fact already such an XML flag.

Oh sweet! So yeah, I think they should get it, then. :)

Before this was fixed, you could actually find this in the "objective" menu. But I was in favor of making instigators always visible from the getgo ; )

Odd, today I had one instance of the instigator being in the unexplored part of the galaxy. Uprising scenario.
