Conquer grand exchange III? Nope.

[Pitagora]

Am I missing something in grand exchange III? Used the same method to conquer it like the previous 10 sectors my company owns:

1) build admin module station
2) destroy current owner admin module

But for GE III: "sorry, no bonus!".

No other admin modules in any station. Is the trade station there who is responsible for sector ownership? I'm clueless at this point..

I've gottan all three sub sectors of Grand exchange before.

So, you are missing a defense station that's built off-grid.

Release the scouts!

Note that warfs, shipyards can have admin modules too. Not sure about trading stations.
You can also go into the buy plot mode to see if you can find any plots where you didnt find a station yet.

The trading station has an admin module built in, so it needs to go.

Do you know the name of such module? I didn't find any suitable name amongst the defensive modules.

Not sure. It is literally built in. Removing the entire station was the only way. Only when the station icon went gray, the sector changed its owner.

Took me hours to destroy it. It's got HUGE hp. Sometimes, the station cheats like Xenon wharf and shipyard as well, healing its HP magically. I am inclined to believe that those Teladi trading stations are not meant to be messed with.

Thanks for the infos... and... OUCH!

Ive seen at least two down to very very low HP before i was able to turn away the xenon swarms. So they are killable.

Need to clear all GE sectors including several stations that are far off the main grid.

Yep. With Teladi, the entire trade station is the admin module and it is an amazingly hard nut to crack. I sometimes thing the Teladi were the first race added since they are the most unique. It is like everyone else got shortcutted in the development process.

The TER/PIO as well have a bunch of unique blueprints for their trade stations that cannot be obtained by the player.

There *is* one module of the trade station listed in my encyclopedia https://i.postimg.cc/3J8TddXC/teladi-admin2.png which is also the only trade station module I found listed under the defense modules category. So just killing that bit might be a shortcut.

Well, I've seen that module completely battered and the sector was still held by Teladi. So, nope.
