Headquaters in Avarice?

Post by IrishStar » Tue, 2. Jan 07, 00:09

Am I alone in thinking it would be a good idea to putting ur headquaters there?? In my game I haven't had the chance to buy it yet as it is still called the "unknown sector" I am Waiting patiantly to buy the sector, as i have enough credits to make it mine.

I thing having a sector that is truely yours is great and putting your very own headquaters there is the icing on the cake!

After you buy the blueprints for the Earth fleet howcome they dont show up in your headquaters or maybe you have to cap them. Can you Cap a Earth ship??

The Earth fleet blueprints are only so you know which ship is which...

They cannot be captured or Built by players (without a script).

Huh, I thought Bala Gi missions made Avarice show up quite quickly?

That's what I was thinking. In my game it appeared already during the Bala Gi missions. Could it be that IrishStar used a script to get his HQ? Not that I have any moral objections :D (I did it the legal way though)

By the way: I've put my HQ in the unknown 'vacuum' next to Patriarch's Retreat. It's the best place of all.

It took five game days in mine for Avarice to change its name. The auction still hasn't started taking bids (almost day 6).

Mine's in Omicron Lyrae - cause that's where my main income and weapon building stations are.

No. Not the missions. But the patch did. If one loaded an old game. But it takes a while for the auction to start, if you did start the game in 2.0.x.


Avarice is no better nor worse than other sectors for the HQ. There are good things, like flow of hostile ships, and bad things (for example distance to Goners).

I have my HQ in Avarice... it's nicely central and easy to get to anywhere in one jump... also easy to bring in wares from anywhere too... I have no regrets in choosing Avarice.

I didn't even consider Avarice as viable HQ sector as it has too much traffic and no asteroids.

I wanted my HQ far away from npc ships and stations so I chose one of the most far away places I found (with sufficient roids for support).

that being the second Unknown sector near unholy descent.

other viable place would have been the US near Getsu fune.

proximity to SY's, EqD's, Goner's is totally irellevant since you can jump ships anyway. (everyone has carrier now anyway , only one requiring player are M2's as no ships can dock them so I have to manually transfer upgrades to them from fighters.)

just bough 2 carriers for example and jumped in hyperion with 2 busters carrying every upgrade those 2 ships needed, then remote transfered fuel to both from the hyperion and docked the busters back. and jumped all 3 out to their destinations.

then docked 65 L's at one of the carriers and hauled them to EqD for upgrades, once I get enough weapons available I dock the carrier to HQ and transfer the weapon to it and then equip and rename the fighters.

You are not buying Terran blueprints .... you are buying specifications.

This just gives names to the some of the unknown objects floating around out there.

I put my HQ in Avarice and bought the sector... Now that I think about it I should not have spent the 730M credits... With the Teladi owning the sector you can get the Mk3 trader software from the trading station. :roll:

If you are prepared to go to the trouble & expense of buying Avarice then this is probable justification for plonking your HQ there - only to have the interesting challenge of providing all of the necessary resource infrastructure to supply it. I did [730m credits] and built my HQ there without regrets. I dragged a silicon and ore roid close to the East gate in Montalaar, which supplies XL SSP and weaps facts, etc in Avarice [now "Gaiaan Star"]. No probs with npcs or UTs.

You have a point. Another reason not to spend your fortune on this 2nd hand vacuum.

I have bought avarice and i have built my HQ in it and yes i have no regrets about it because:

1:Its your own freaking sector you can do anything in it (well if you blow someone up you still lose rep but at a lower cost),which means a few squash mine factories and a few bliss places (generally speaking anything that produce contraband) without interferance by the police.

2:The adjusting sectors are full with roids, not high wield ones but sufficient to supply your HQ and weapons plants.

3:If you decide to unlock the khaa'k start (the normal way) then this is a must for supplies and repairs.

4:It doesn't have so much traffic (in my game at least).

5:It is reasonably big so you can build quite a few stations without concern about M2 crashes (who knows knows :wink: ).

well thats all i can think for now but still buying Avarice can pay off (It has paid for me).

Avarice as battle station won't be bad, but if for building up a HQ i don't see it is a good idea, because i can't get any jump drive and transporter in the nearby sector
