Jobs - Placement is confusing ** HELP!! **

Post by ezra-r »

In the Jobs placement options I see Sector Flags are:

Owner's Sector
Core Sector
Has Shipyard
Not Enemy Sector
Border Sector
Has Owner's stations

and the "Invert Flags" option

Well,

Im trying to spawn certain KhaaK ships in any sectors but theirs and I select "Not Enemy Sector" and Invert Flags, so they respawn in Enemy sectors, well they just spawn in Pirate Sectors, why? Can anyone explain? I want them to spawn in Pirate or Commonwealth sectors not just pirates.

Another query, supposedly the "Invert Flags" option switches the options you checked to just the opposite, well, Im seeing Standard Pirate Jobs that spawn pirates in Pirate Sectors with these options selected:

Owner's Sectors
Invert Flags

Isn'tt this mix supposed to do just the opposite, that is, spawning them in all but their own sectors?

If anyone wants to check what Im saying they can check standard jobs from 2118 to 2122.

Also some jobs called "(border) Pirate Squad easy 1" that supposedly spawn pirate in border sectors have flags set -> Border Sector + Invert Flags.

Does "Invert Flags" work at all?

How do I spawn Khaak in any and all commonwealth sectors?

How do I spawn Pirates in any Commonwealth sectors and not Pirate Sectors?

If I want to spawn them in their sectors should I select Owner's Sectors + Invert Flags or not use "Invert Flags" like standard ego jobs are doing?

I have been wondering about exactly the same thing for quite some while too ... my guess is that the intern functionality of the job flags changed somewhere in the past or has some warped logic to it ^^
