Favorite XI Sector?

Post by JCTiger » Thu, 8. Nov 07, 09:35

Just wanted to see which sectors people liked for Xenon Invasion missions and why.

I'll start the ball rolling by saying I like Getsu Fune, because it has a SPP, there are regular Xenon patrols, and its close to MF which can have XI's as well.

Thyn's Abyss, since I wanted to up my rep with the split.

No favourite as such, but I dislike missions in SPG and 18 billion (debris) or Getsu (too foggy).

Ditto. Had to start mining there for better framerates.

Getsu and Menelaus are foggy, and next to large Xenon sectors. But Getsu yields one more K ...

Thynn and Black Hole are small, with less Asteroids in fight area in Black Hole, and next to neat X472. You either like that or don't.

the number of K's depends on your combat ranking, not the sector.

my favourite XI sector is Black Hole Sun, but that's because my HQ is in Elysium of Light and i can easily summon some transport to collect the booty.

No. jlehtone is correct. For however many K's your combat rank yields,
Getsu Fune will have an extra one.

Getsu Fune is nice, especially with the script that increases view range so you can atually see through the fog that seems to have clouded the entire universe recently.

I think 18 Billion is the most gorgeous sector in the game...

I've had my game (backgrounds) modded since about day 1, no fog, increased draw/sight distance.

I hated the fog the first time I saw it, so I got rid of it.

Please tell me how to get rid of the dreaded fog!

It ruins many sectors as far as I'm concerned

It's a mod, not a script. And it requires a game restart to take effect. But it's well worth it, IMO. I have no fog in Getsu Fune or Menelaus Paradise. And MP is beautiful without fog. Probably my favorite XI sector. You also get lots of P patrols crossing from both the GF side and X597 to the east, heading towards Bluish Snout, or just between the two Xenon sectors. Lotsa fun. :)
Have a great idea for the current or a future game? You can post it in the [L3+] Ideas forum.

X4 is a journey, not a destination. Have fun on your travels.

Clearly Getsu Fune is the best...and extra 6+ million is not to be sniffed at. However, I find that It rarely seems to yield missions, wheras scale/18 billion seem to have loads.

My favourite is undoubtedly Thynn's Abyss though. I have always liked the Split, and I also like that missions can be picked up from Family Njy...it's one of the few XI sectors where you are likely to have a reason for being there other than just looking for XI's, and where if there is no XI you have a good chance of a decent assasination mission...or just buying a tasty Split Superfreighter for the hell of it.

Black Hole Sun. Basically empty in my game. I wish I could find more XI missions there!

Edit - Sweet, I did! Fifteen kills, including the K, and I don't think any of the supporting fighters did anything but blow up! Although a couple of factories suffered collateral damage...
