Just curious after actually getting a really nice combo'd ship that could decimate fleets without being touched — I'm honestly curious if chilling inside rebel-controlled nodes will scale enemies constantly?
Say you are in Sector 3, where enemies are more likely to have 1-2 shields and missile/laser weapons. If I were to just hang around jumping from node to node to fight rebel scum, would the ships get harder and harder up to 4 shield/4 weapon ones like in Sector 7-8?
I got the "Asphyxation" Achievement twice, once on easy and later on normal.
I don't know about downgrading but you can definitely get achievements twice if you get them the first time on easy and they then get upgraded to normal.
The achievement only shows normal difficulty unlock for upgraded achievements.
Normally the rebel fleet appears after your 3rd Jump to normal sectors. If you jump into nebulas you will still slow the fleet down. If you only jump into nebulas from the beginning it takes them 6 jumps to arrive at the sector.
Yes the nebula slows down the fleet even if it is not visible.

I highly doubt that the Elite Fighters get any more difficult if you hang around in a sector, jumping between rebel-controlled beacons. Difficulty of enemy ships is usually based on the difficulty setting, and what sector you're in. There's no reward for defeating the ships at Rebel-Controlled beacons other than 1 fuel anyway, so there's not much point deliberately hanging around.
Hope this helps.
