XIs. Or lack thereof.

Post by Whuppee » Fri, 8. Feb 08, 18:35

Alright. I don't believe these details are likely to matter, but.. to preempt their being called for:

I'm running X3 2.002 with Bonus Pack 3.107.

I am not running any scripts, and have done nothing meaningful with the MCSI.

I'm playing the (vanilla) Bankrupt Assassin custom start.

I'm somewhere around 8 game days in, loved by all the races, and ranked (coincidentally) as an Assassin.

I've completed somewhere in the neighborhood of 60 bbs missions (Revenge / Assassinations and Xenon Taxis).
Spoiler

And I've gone so far as to use the save exploit. Read: upwards of a couple hundred reloads.
.. and I've yet to find a single XI.

wtf =/

Getsu Fune, Menelaus' Paradise, Thyn's Abyss, Black Hole Sun, and Scale Plate Green. Your XI awaits you.

And Eighteen Billion.

Basically, the rules are:

1. Xenon invasions are offered in same-race sectors up to a 3-sector radius from the sector being invaded, as listed above. So, for example, you may get an announcement of an invasion slated for Eighteen Billion in a station in Ceo's Doubt, but you'll never get an announcement for an invasion taking place in Scale Plate Green announced in Nyana's Hideout. SPG is Teladi while NH is Argon. But you might see an announcement for an invasion in Black Hole Sun in a station in Nyana's Hideout.

2. Once you accept and do an XI, the next one will be offered 8-12(?) hours later, chosen randomly again from the above list. Some claim that if you don't accept an XI mission within a certain time period, it will randomly change location. I personally have never seen this and doubt that it's true. If it were true, then people shouldn't have as hard a time finding them as they seem to. But if an XI mission is offered in Getsu Fune, for example, and a player never goes there, they'd never see a mission. That's the way it appears to be now, anyway.

So, bottom line, if you want to find an XI, and it's been more than 12 hours since your last one, just check those six locales and you'll find one. :)

By checking SPG you're also checking 18B, or vice-versa.

Do XI missions ever happen around 101? The only ones I've ever seen are in the east.

No XIs are launched form X101 and X598. In the case of X101 there's nobody to pay you anyway.

Except you can check Ceo's Doubt for an Eighteen Billion invasion but not an SPG one. Opposite is true for Two Grand.

Yes, but why would you bother when you can just jump into the five sectors Kor'ah listed and be sure to find an XI in one of them (provided it's long enough since the last one, of course)? It's not like jumpdrive energy is expensive...

Well, I don't use jumpdrives. For anything. It's how I play. :wink:
