So I saw a bid for the unknown sector for 50 mil. Thought ok no big deal. Then get a new message saying it was bought for 1.2 billion!!! I never got a chance to bid either? Do I ever get a chance?

You probably wont be able to now.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe you get to bid after the 5th game day, should just appear on the bbs.

Player bidding doesn't start until the current bid is at least 615 million, as I recall. Or maybe it's 815 million. Only did it once, just for kicks. :wink: Anyway, there will be BBS missions asking you to bid eventually. And you won't be able to miss them. They seem to spawn like rabbits on Viagra. :P

Is there any point to owning the sector beyond just the fact that you own it? Any perks for owning the sector?

no, but having a sector marked as "player" on the interactive map surely is sweet.

Also why are people still playing 1.4? upgrade now!

V1.4 had a bug in the bidding, that was fixed in V2.0, as I remember. :)

When you own it you do not have to worry about other races scanning you all the time and you can have all the illegal stuff you want and not worry about the other races. :twisted:

if i'am not mistaken in the extended version of the game don't you have the take over sector script so whats the point of even going for it if you can just claim any unknown sector

You're actually mistaken on two counts. First, the Xtended mod does NOT include sector takeover. That's a separate script you can add. Second, the Xtended mod is NOT official, and therefore a lot of players won't be using it. They prefer to play the 'vanilla' game.
