Wheres your homebase?

I don't really have a "home sector." I have over 700 factories spanning over 44 sectors with a minimum of 6 factories in a sector.

I basically wander around doing various missions trying to get to Xtreme ranks.

I dont really have a Homebase, if I had a TL it would be that. If I bought a Trading Station or Equipment Dock where I send all my ships for refitting it might be there but currently no real homebase as such

Hanging around Profit Center Alpha quite a bit

We need a stat like the Favourite Ship for Sectors, so which Sector you sepnd most of your time in

The Uknown Sector others have posted for my ore mines and weapons forges

Rhonkars Clouds is my main fighting force base (because its a reasonably centralized location) for my Fighters, unassigned m6's and Destroyers. SPP's work great in Rhonkars Clouds because the sun is at 150% like kingdoms end (I don't know if that makes a difference,I might be talking out of my ...). Had to displace some disgruntled Pirates but that was more fun than work

.

The place that would probably be best for a homebase and SPP production is the Boron sector I think its Shores of Infinity near the "secret" boron sector one of those southern sectors and it has 200% suns (if that has any affect on anything).

I've never had a "home" sector in any of my games, just a few that I like more than others. From the top of my head, Lucky Planets, Scale Plate Green, Argon Prime, Omicron Lyrae, CEO's Buckzoid.

It does make a small difference in production time.

Yes, you can go to Reservoir of Tranquility, which has 200% sun, or if you want to have some fun, Akeela's Beacon has 450%.

The only problem with Akeela's Beacon is that it has limited resources in the area. Silicon is very limited and all. I'm considering using SDS to ship ores into the area, maybe using the Equipment Dock method that someone else mentioned along with Hydras, but for now, I'm happy setting up about anywhere.

I really prefer private sectors instead of something I have to share for a homebase, afterall, and Akeela's is pretty busy already. Though if I clear it out.....

I like the way you think

Akeela's beacon isn't far from Rhonkars maybe its time to stage a coup d'etats er coup de sector!

I use Paranid space as I've lost fewer transports there... Although Dukes vision is a little under protected but that's the only one...

I'm using Pontifex' Realm... as I'm role playing...

You want to know where my HB is eh?

Im afraid if i told you i would have to kill you

Only I, My company and the few dead goners who like to 'stray' into my sector know where i am

Oh and the Pirate and Teladi traders but they wont tell anyone because then they will lose themselves produce and profit...and we all know that Teladi and Pirates dont like doing that

My Herc, what else?

It really needs a rear observation deck, so I can watch my ships come and go easily.

For my homebase I jumped into Akeela's Beacon and droppeed 9 stations. I started setting up mines in next one along; so with the weapons factories that I have started in there, that is where my EQ is planned for. Although my other hang out seems to be Argon Prime!!

I did once run a game where by my presence in the Universe was a Fleet of Jump capable Capital Ships...

12 Destroyers, 1 Carrier, 4 TLs, 22 Nemesis... It showed me just how much the game needed a tactial overview of some kind... where by you can set formations and orders quickly...

but we're getting something like that... so X3 should be the start of Fleet combat...

Elena's Fortune. Easy access to Boron, Paranid, and Argon sectors. A huge power plant resource in The Wall to drain, a nice Bofu resource (once you jump start it) in... uh... Atreus' Cloud, some ok asteroids to mine in nearby sectors, and a pirate base nearby for when I need a few cruddy transports for intra-system loops. In the game I'm playing right now, the Khaak devastated the system and only left two stations alive in the entire sector. At one point there were two and a half screens of Khaak fighters in the sector, and they put the hammer to the sector.
