Khaak traveling methods?

Post by bobioman »

I want to Defend MY sector from the khaak, lol, and was wondering how they travel....if they use jump-gates, or if they just appear in the sector.

I really need this question answered badly if anyone knows, because if they use jump-gates then i'm going to move all of my laser towers from thier current positions to ones next to jump gates. :D

the khaak are limited to the same travel methods as us mere mortals, so a few well placed squash mines and laser towers at the gates will do the trick!

Err, are you sure? I've seen Khaak ships just appear in sectors no where near a gate. This in in sectors where I've got nat sat dead centre showing all 4 gate positions - I've noticed Khaak often appearing from outside of the sector square defined by the specing of the gates too.

I wish I was wrong but I've NEVER seen a Khaak come through a gate, sorry.

The Khaak are not limited to travel like us "mortals" The have a gateless jump system that allows them to appear anywhere...

Agreed... the khaak apear out of nowhere totally random...

I personally find this un-pleasant.. as, like you suggested, being able to defend whole sectors with squashmines (no fof=bad idea?) or lasertowers simply does not work.

Also there are no 'fronts' to fight on.. no need for defensive fleets to defend the entry points of your save buble of sectors.. shame shame..

but I gues the game isn't about that then...

I would like to see the Khaak traveling normally trough gates via jumpdrives or other gates and only "task forces" of them using this "advanced jumpdrive" (random spawning) to attack sectors that are far behind the frontlines...

The Khaak do also use the regular Warp Gates, just not very often. ;)

The khaak have a more advanced jumpdrive system than you do in x2, they can jump from there homesectors, to anysector in the galaxy, without needing to jump to a gate

Thier home sector....?? Didn't know they had a home sector....looked at the maps of X2 and there are no khaak sectors listed....i thought they just spawned randomly cause i played more and also saw them appear without the use of gates, which actually was very dissapointing. I hope they have thier own sector full of khaak that i can attack....I was hoping it was possible to eventually totally wipe them out, because that was my goal in the game, and if that isn't possible...then i'm REALLY dissapointed.

Actually I have found an unknowed sector in my travels around the map. It contained a few Khaak who ignored me and a brocken gate in the middle of a nebula. Other than that the sector appeared empty. I noted it for future reference and feel that it will be part of the plot down the road some. Hopefully involving a climatic battle and destruction of the Khaak. :)
