Out of nowhere I got a message saying my Atmospheric Lifter was destroyed. So i jumped into Family Pride and the entire sector was leveled... by 3 pirate novas? Only thing remaining was the Trading Station and they were working on it.
This is a core security sector complete with capitals, is it normal for 3 pirate m3s to destroy an entire sector including the police and military capitals?

It's not normal, OOS battle can go strangely some times but for three novas to consistently beat every ship in the sector isn't very likely.Sinxar wrote:This is a core security sector complete with capitals, is it normal for 3 pirate m3s to destroy an entire sector including the police and military capitals?
I'd guess it's more likely to have been a Khaak invasion that got wiped out just before you jumped in.

Speaking of that I keep reading that after doing OFF they stop spawning or there are a lot fewer that show up in the CW.
However since completing OFF its the exact opposite. I see way more Kha'ak now than before the plot. A good example is that I have NEVER seen a Kha'ak capital ship in the CW, after OFF I have ran across 2 Destroyers and the clusters are spawning in groups of 3 now. The destroyers spawned in a system that I frequent, so I'm 100% sure they weren't just waiting for me to show up from before OFF.
I guess it could be my combat rank (Battlemaster) but like I said, I am reading that the spawns decrease/stop after OFF.

Well after I did OFF virtually no Khaak ever spawned again. And I can second the fact that any Pirate Nova Raider can wreack havoc to any sector. One of these fighter destroyed a whole sector in one of my games. All on its own. Must have been Richthofen, Hartmann or Nishizawa who joined the Pirates!
