XI, XT and Assassination mission locations
Are there ideal sectors and/or stations that are more likely to have Xenon Invasion, Xenon Taxi or Assassination missions? I'm in Black Hole Sun and I can't find even a single mission!
Xenon Taxi and Assassination missions are entirely random, so just keep looking.
As for Xenon Invasions, the call to arms will be found in every station belonging to the invaded race's sector within 3 sectors of the appropriate Xenon sector. In practice, this means there are only five sectors you need to check:
Scale Plate Green OR Eighteen Billion
Black Hole Sun
Getsu Fune
Menelaus Paradise
Thyn's Abyss
Note also that there is only ever one Xenon Invasion in the universe at any one time, and it doesn't "go away" until you actually accept it; therefore, you have to check all five of those sectors--just continuously checking Black Hole Sun won't work because the invasion is likely to be happening elsewhere.

I was wondering why there is no invasion coming from X598 (near Great Exchange & Zrt's Domination on the far Est)
Edit : X. invasions BBS message is visible 3 sectors away from the invaded one. But only in sectors of the same race. (i.e. XI BBS in BHS is visible from Nyana's Hideout, but not those in Scale Plate Green or 18b.)
That mean that you can check station in SPG, go est to Nyana's, then - if no invasion - jump to Ghinnn's Escape - invasions in Thyn's Abyss ? - to move est to Hila's Joy (or maybe Ocean of Fant.) and finaly jump to Getsu Fune. If nothing, way a few hours and start again

The mission was written for X2. X2 had no X598. When you use a hardcoded list, you do use a hardcoded list.Lord Kellmar wrote:I was wondering why there is no invasion coming from X598 (near Great Exchange & Zrt's Domination on the far Est)

Yep, that's what happened. It was in 18 billion. Once I finished that, does that mean that a new XI mission appeared somewhere? I know that once it appears, it stays and cannot appear anywhere else until you do it, but how long to wait until the next one appears SOMEWHERE? Is it immediate or not?pjknibbs wrote:Xenon Taxi and Assassination missions are entirely random, so just keep looking.

I used to wonder if there was a particular order in which sectors were invaded. OK, to be honest, I still wonder a little bit, but I'm fairly sure they are as random as random can be on a computer. Has anyone ever had two consecutive XIs in the same sector, though?

Someone mentioned six hours after the last one ends, I recall. Certainly, if a whole day passes without an XI message in one of those sectors, you must have skipped at least one.Slonor wrote:I know that once it appears, it stays and cannot appear anywhere else until you do it, but how long to wait until the next one appears SOMEWHERE?

Now you may thank me for this information

Wait, you can "skip" one? I thought they stayed there until you did it.Capt_Newbie wrote:Someone mentioned six hours after the last one ends, I recall.

I think he meant "you must have skipped a sector"
I have! Once in Eighteen Billion I docked at a station and saw TWO XI missions at the same time
That was quite a challenge

"Time" below is moment of accepting the mission, usually not right after finding one.

X2 gamer:
I had one where 8 XIs were generated at the same time in one station in Getsu Fume.
Someone said it was a bug.
Had a great time taking on the big boys. Got to know which helpers were more hindrance.
But the XIs stayed till I accepted them - even though all the other BBS messages cycled through.

So only in those 6 sectors? You sure you're not missing any, like Napoleos Memorial? Then again, that is a pirate sector that probably has no stations, so I guess that's why you left it out. Just want to make sure so I can get more of these XI. Too bad I never got an XT with a P or greater. Do XT mission ships get determined by your own ship, your fighter rank, or both?pjknibbs wrote:Xenon Taxi and Assassination missions are entirely random, so just keep looking.

Not much there for the pirates to protect, really, is there? Not to mention, it's somewhat difficult to imagine pirates paying anyone to help with sector defense...Slonor wrote:So only in those 6 sectors?

So how do you capture a P? From what I understand, all ships spawned in XTaxi are cappable. Also, what rank to I need for the K? And which station would have the mission for XInvasion? Is it always the free trading station, or one of the equipment docks?Carlo the Curious wrote:XT missions don't spawn Ps - just Xenon N/M/L and (at high ranks) K.Slonor wrote:Too bad I never got an XT with a P or greater.
