It must have somehow counted as an NPC kill. NPC kills of installations have very little cooldown time.Incinerator wrote: ↑Sat, 15. Oct 22, 08:19Seems the Khaak have multiple installations in a system? I squished one with the PHQ when doing the teleporter research. A new one was spawned pretty much instantly. I assume it must have been an outpost since it was in Grand Exhange. Quickest way to deal with it, just phase your PHQ over it. =)

Do kha'ak use jump gates? There have been kha'ak appearing in "The Void", but searched very far away and couldnt find their station.

Re: Khaak Mechanics: Locations, Spawning and Combat.
Antigone Memorial often starts with a Hive soon after game start. This can spawn KHK and KHK outposts in The Void.
KHK will use jump gates, super highways and highways if they need to get somewhere after spawning/teleport. Nothing stops them using normal flight mechanics.
Re: Khaak Mechanics: Locations, Spawning and Combat.
I see, thank you. After finding kha'ak, explored "The Void" about 850 km from the center in all directions, but couldnt find their station. Also, is it possible for npc factions to destroy kha'ak station? I mean, do they actively try to remove kha'ak station with strong enough force?Imperial Good wrote: ↑Fri, 24.

Re: Khaak Mechanics: Locations, Spawning and Combat.
I'm finding these annoyingly frustrating to deal with. Not because I don't have the firepower (I have an Asgard parked on top of one), but because actually identifying what to shoot at, when combined with the awkward "architecture", just makes the entire process difficult and time consuming.
Is there an easy way to deal with it? Would I be better off trying OOS combat against the bloody things?

Re: Khaak Mechanics: Locations, Spawning and Combat.
Since 6.00 the NPC factions sometimes offer missions to destroy KHK hives and installations. I think these reveal to you the location of the hive/installation if accepted.
There is some background spawn rate for KHK, even if there is not a hive or outpost in the sector.

Re: Khaak Mechanics: Locations, Spawning and Combat.
The mission does give the orange marker/line to the khaak outpost.
Getting the missions to spawn even if you've seen the khaak active and have also found their base, well..... that's reliant on rng.

OOS a Syn will deal with it. They will still take a hour or so. I normally deal with them OOS, on the larger ones that have the separate turret modules scattered about I deal with them myself while another ship or 3 deals with the installation, then I go OOS when I've dealt and leave the AI to finish off.RegisterMe wrote: ↑Fri, 31.

Re: Khaak Mechanics: Locations, Spawning and Combat.
Hello IG, I am wondering if you can comment on something - I'm not sure if your original post was before or after the change to explore orders.
If I right click explore *on* a hex, I get a (edit) larger explore area than if I right click to explore through a gate.
The bigger circle (right clicking a location to explore) is exactly the right size to hit all the six corners of a default sized map.
For the smaller circle (right clicking a gate to explore) its radius is only about 3/4 of the way to the straight edges of a default sized map.
The big circle is more consistent with your explanation that the "core" is the default map area.
So do I need to go 190km past the big circle, or the small circle?
I know it's a bit pedantic, but your explanation is the only one I've found that comes from code.
edit: are there any new hive systems in 6.0/6.2?

Re: Khaak Mechanics: Locations, Spawning and Combat.
I am not sure if the mechanics have changed. It certainly used to be the case that the gate explore order size was used as that used the appropriate sector values when it was positioned.
Possibly sanctuary of darkness might have Khaak mechanics associated with it. But no other sectors were added to the hive spawn list that I am aware of.
