HQ in Lost Terracorp Pilot start

[Betelgeuse97]

After almost 1 in-game day, I found my Spacelab HQ...except it's in Empire's Edge right in the heart of Paranid space. How do I get it out safely (I don't have a TL yet) without it getting destroyed? Can I make it invincible until I pick it up (and how do I do that if there's an option for that)?

I'm also at -4 rank with the Paranid, and I am having an extremely hard time getting rep to -3 rank!

HQ can't be destroyed since 1.2 before redeployment, just claim it and move it when you have the TL with Build Command Software MK2. Unless you wan't the Argon/Boron and their companies as enemies, forget ever increasing your Paranid rank.

And Empire's Edge is right at the edge of the empire

You can increase Paranid to neutral without making the Argon/Borons enemies. They might temporarily become enemies depending on your notoriety, but it's easy to fix at low ranks.

Look at your predicted notoriety, and only use enough influence to get them friendly, you don't have to dump a whole 1k influence every time. If you are worried about becoming enemies with argon or boron, then do a ton of missions to max them out first, then use agents to fine tune your paranid rep to just friendly and get your HQ out.
