[AP] What to do at Earth ?

Can't target The broken Torus like you can with broken gates.

There is much space real estate.

How should I use it?

Correct me if I'm mistaken but if you get enough argon rep for the war missions to start- doesn't that make all your pretty things HVTs for Terrans when you're OOS?

I've never stuck around Earth longer than it takes to admire it and move on so I don't know if RRFs or random patrols of death show up there.

Edit- i'm still voting storage. Now if only you could get a jump beacon to drop somehow earth would be buttery

That's said to just be a problem with the War sectors.

Ah. Full on ship storage then. If you must build in a trans accel gate sector than .. bleh it's always going to be a PITA :D Ship building because it'd be pretty to visit.

I don't have AP yet, but I've heard the wreck in that sector has a huge collision box that pushes other things away, so unless you've got a mod to modify/remove it you may find it's not very practical to build anything there.

Yeah, if you could get rid of the wreckage and install a jump beacon then it would be a fab place to set up business.

As it is the collision scripts can push stuff out to 200km from the gate, been there , done it, waste of a brilliant sector.

That sort of spoils it for me,unless there is a script to remove untargetable objects.
