Unknown Sector west of Xenon 534 (TC)

[StarSword]

I'm eyeballing the Unknown Sector west of Xenon 534 (north of Getsu Fune) as a good location for a complex, having scanned (I think) all the asteroids and found multiple high-yield ones. I've got a couple of questions:

• What are the universe map coordinates of this sector, for the benefit of my complex calculator?
• I'm worried about the Xenon next door. Is there much of a chance that they'll decide my complex is crunchy and good with ketchup? (I never saw any come through the gate while I was scanning rocks, but you never know.)

The co-ords are 16,0
I have never seen any Xenon enter that sector in untold number of games.

Thanks, Coreblimey.

I have put a TC complex in there and have never seen a single Xenon enter. There was a Pirate Base though (handy to sell the contraband wares) so I had to swat the occasional Pirate patrol coming towards the complex rather than heading out (to die) into the Xenon sector. The Base also allowed me missions to build and hack stations owned by Pirates too, so the sector ended up quite well developed.

The coords for that sector in my complex calc (Xadrian) are 16,0.

Edit: Too slow!

Found a pirate base there in my last game, but not this time. I wonder why?

Doodeedoodoo doodeedoodoo...

Originally the sector starts without a piratebase. This means it comes from a nearby sector where a piratebase got obliterated (Xenon sector 597 next to menelaus paradise starts with a piratebase that's obviously shortlived (brave but foolish pirates...) so a big chance it's from there.
Usually piratebases respawn in some sector nearby where they perished, this keeps on going, till they land in a sector where they're left alone and as the Unknown sector next to Xenon Sector 534 sees no activity, a piratebase spawning there lasts forever (or till the player enganges m)

I too have used that particular unknown sector in various games all the way back to X2 (though not in my current TC game, at least not yet), and have never seen a single Xenon ship enter. Don't recall any pirates there either, though I think I've had Kha'ak spawn there occasionally, so having a M6 or two on patrol there might not be a bad idea.

@ Baratheon79: Do Final Fury first and you probably won't see any Kha'ak there again.

Already done that plot in my current game, but as I said, I haven't built anything there so far this time.
