Problem with Xenons.

[Eyeklops]

Oh this is awesome news. I was playing a vanilla game and was bored to tears with the pushover Xenon. I expected that ES was going to leave it like that because so many people complained about Xenon hurting them. I'm glad to hear that they were rebalanced again because they were completely run out of my universe without me having to do a thing!

It wasn't really a rebalance and more of a bug fix for turrets. Since Xenon capitals only use turrets it affected them badly.

I think the xenon power is a mix of FE AND XRShip pack. The Xenon Q is prettt nasty, a very souped up K. Routinely ill see an I, 2 Q's and a K pop up.... and that is a formidible force. I think the Q's do the most damage.

In my game the Xenon are/were rampant... they took most of the ZYA sectors as well as a chunk of FRF. They would have taken the void if not for a defense platform backed by 5+ destroyers at the Getsu and Frontier gates. They hold Getsu and Frontier pretty well. I have to hold Hatikvahs as well, and have a large fleet in Nhuut and Hatikvahs. They pushed both PAR and ZYA out of the upper NW, but i recaptured and hold the wretxhed skies.... they have also pushed out of company regard and hold that neighboring TEL sector.

Slowly, i pushed them back. Cleaned out northern ZYA territory, which ARG is gobbling up. ZYA got smashed.... i cleaned out matrix 9 and 451, which TEL gobbled up. I just moved my single captured Asgard into TEL spaces alomg with its fleet, to push Xenon back into compamy regard. HoP has spent a ton of resources trying to take Second Contact, so now they are losing Holy Vision... so i have a few destroyers there that ill take over ane clean xenon up with. Also, the Terrans haven't done anything. They were completely removed from Getsu... and they've not done anything else. I sometimes see their ships around, but rarely. I dont know how many ships they have active, but it ain't mamy... and they're doing dick to stop the xenon. I normally thrash the Terrans myself and let ANT take all their territory... but the xenons are doing it for me already.

I love the struggle im having, but it has totally upset the goals i set for myself at the beginning of the game. I dont know if i will finish this game. Might start a new one...
