X2 - Building a 125MW shield factory in Argon Space
I am setting up a closed loop in Herron's Nebula but see that the Argon don't sell a 125MW shield factory.
Can I buy one from Great Reef and place it there or does it require Boron components?

Unless my memory fails me here you need only one BoGas and one BoFu Fab to feed one Shield factory in X2. To minimise yellow blinking on your sector map you may want to place the fabs the following sequence:
1. BoGas Fab and feed it Ecells.
2. Bofu Lab and feed it Ecells and BoGas.
3. Shield Fac and feed it Ecells and Bofu - then add the ore.

President's End? In X2? Isn't that just a little risky?KarlHemmings wrote:Sorry for the late reply.
Light of Heart sells 125MW shield factory. I am setting up a loop in Presidents End - together with crystal and solar power plant. There is a good silicon asteroid in sector and a couple of ore asteroids in cloud base south east,
Have a great idea for the current or a future game? You can post it in the [L3+] Ideas forum.

Oh yes - but I have a Centaur on patrol with Dragon wingman (set to protect leader) - they cover Cloud Base South East, Presidents End, The Wall and Elanors Fortune.
When not in use any or all of the following sit in PE on patrol sector.
Osprey
Hercules
Orca
I tend to keep out of sector now as it is a little busy in there at times

In my experience, once the initial Kha'ak attack happens and gets cleaned up, it's no more dangerous than any other non-core sector other than the pirates that like to use it to enter Argon sectors. X2 being X2, it's pretty easy to lock down the east gate to keep the sector secure.jlehtone wrote:Some believe that lightning won't hit the same spot twice.

I find PE and Ore Belt to be a hot bed of Kha'ak - I have recently passed a point in the plot that in theory makes Ore Belt more accommodating - but I have yet to notice any decline in attacks....Hemmingfish wrote:In my experience, once the initial Kha'ak attack happens and gets cleaned up, it's no more dangerous than any other non-core sector other than the pirates that like to use it to enter Argon sectors.

My main problem at the moment is a Split M2 ship in Getsu Fune that has fallen out with all the Argon. I am seriously considering inviting the captain to a dual - my Osprey his M2... I need the solar power plant in that sector.
