Has anyone noticed the Latest Beta adds new Sectors?

[spankahontis]

So Far I've discovered 3, but there could be more out there.

Frontier Edge - South of The Void, North of Attiya's Misfortune I. So it looks like ANT Memorial have Xenon problems now, seen K's in their space.

Turquoise Sea X - East of Company Regard, North of Scale Plate Green VII, Neither side will expand into Sectors that aren't claimed at the start.
Will that change if you set up a base here? Will it aggro the Xenon?

Turquoise Sea IX - Super Highway North of Turquoise Sea X Both Sectors are rich in all resources so great place to set up a mining operation, using T.S X as a buffer.

There could be more new Sectors out there, all the ones I found are Unclaimed, no Factories, No Pirate Bases AFAIK?
If you find any more? Let me know?

Getsu Fune aswell, north of The Void. All empty for me too

[Buzz2005]

those 3 are it, maybe a precursor for split, but I think it was said that this are neutral bc the player has more choice other then nopileus and silent witness, the placing is interesting if you choose to build there

Interesting? Getsu Fune wasn't an empty System in X3, it had Equipment Docks, factories and was a defensive outpost against the Xenon to the North.

Wonder what happened to it?
Maybe the Xenon got them when they were cut off by the Gate Shutdown? But the Xenon would still be there if they did?
Or maybe they had no means to sustain themselves and they died out?
They had Argnu and Delaxian Wheat factories, but no Steak Cahoona factories, they had Equipment Docks but no means to produce weapons?

I'm guessing they withered away and died. Wish Egosoft would add detail to the sector backgrounds so we could know the law of what happened there?

All sectors are purposely empty. They are intended to be free/unclaimed space for the player to use.

Turquoise Sea

seems to be an exact copy of Atiya's Misfortune (visually), except for the large planet (the colors of which seem a bit off to me) and the nebula. The small planet also looks exactly the same

EDIT: I've just had a look at the other two systems and something about them feels very "X3-ish". I really like that

According with the X4 encyclopedia, also PTNI HQ was taken by the Xenon, but after the gate realignment, it was found empty, so the Teladi reclaimed the system and renamed it as Memory of Profit.

If you spend some time flying through the Sector the died and withered is the most likely scenario.

There are still derelict Station Modules floating in space and to my understanding Getsu Fune was never a populated System in the First Place but more so a neutral ground way station into space that later turned out to be Xenon infested.

Ahhhh! I didn't know that! Missed that one.
Yeah I remember PTNI Headquarters, it was nextdoor to Scale Plate Green which was next door to Xenon Sector 347, so the Xenon came from 347 decimated Scale Plate Green and carried the chaos into PTNI Headquarters before the Gate Shutdown.

I love how the Gate Shutdown has caused a massive shake up in general order of the X Universe. From X:Rebirth to X4, so many more new factions that have risen from the chaos.

I think it was the only Sector in X3 that had Equipment Docks for each of the Races and a Royal Boron Trading Post.
I remember the sector north of it was rich in Nvidium roids, but you had to get through the scores of Xenon to reach them.

A quick look at the in game lore entry to the Sector in X³:AP shows i was a bit off on the not populated as it had around 99 million.
And the reason for the different Race Equipment Docks was an attempt land grab.

Strange, so there could still be people living on a Planet in that system? The Xenon probably didn't have time to infest it like they did Scale Plate Green.
They may still be alive?

I REALLY WISH Egosoft poured more effort into the lore of these Sectors in X4.. To know how each Sector survived the shutdown.
This is what X:Rebirth does much better that X:4, for it's lack of Sectors it made every Sector look special and there was lore and storyline behind them.
It's the case of having less, but making it look like you have more.
