More Civil Unrest options to get to contacts.

So the test to get to your contacts during civil unrest is pretty harsh. It would be cool to make these events even more interactive and give the player some more options. A few thoughts are:
1) paying more money to get to contacts. Maybe that would be because of paying for added security or paying off local actors to help you circumvent violence.
2) A stealth option would be nice too.
3) My final and favorite option would be that slaughtering enough rioters would eventually end the civil unrest, like patrolling can end quarantines. You would be risking a lot of rep and your combat crew, because rioters tend to be anything but a bunch of poorly equipped and trained civilians. It would make sense. These things seem to have cycles of violence and enough of it normally causes one side or the other to give in.

It always bugged me that there was no way to do anything about civil unrest.

Not even bringing help goods like during the pox is an option. That rumor is worse than Xeno fleet or radiation storm in early where you can at least retrain your E-Techs for saves.

Ha! I have been unsuccessful at getting the Warior and Warmaster unlocks so far. I just don't get enough battles. I would have bet money that getting the explorer unlocks would have generated enough of them, but not for me. Then I had the idea -- aha, get a civil unrest early, and then use that to get crew combat after crew combat. Sigh. That clever idea happened 3 days ago and nobody early seems to be having any unrest early for me ... Hey Aetaan Shar! I'll pay you to provoke and unrest in Calagan-land, come on dear, you know you want to do it ...

I've been intercepted during that rumor a whopping one time ever. I think I just have way too much tactics.

Just happens that I had already added this to next update:

- Increased ability of Tactics Skill to help avoid violent confrontations during Civil Unrest Rumor

Oh no! I wanted *more* rioters! (at least until I get the unlock)

Sorry!
