[X2]: M2 Khaak Destroyers

[xenon347]

After the omicrom Lyrae mission when the khaak try to destroy the planet & fail. Do any more M2 Khaak Destroyers appear in any other sectors? Iv been looking out for them but all i find is khaak clusters.

[jlehtone]

That is a gameplay question and does not belong to the S&M forum. Moving to the X-Universe (and adding "[X2]: " to the thread title).

The Unknown (Khaak) sectors not attached to the gate network have lots of M2's and M1's. They are like xenon sectors but they have no ship yard so just spawn back.

Khaak capital ships never invade apart from in that campaign mission. There is a minor Khaak capital ship invasion in X3 but that has no repeating loop, so once there gone, thats all she wrote!

One thing you can do - If you kill capital ships in say Xenon sector 347 then you can go and see the reinforcements moving through the nearby freindly sectors.... that usually causes a big stir!! hehehe, but only for the sectors you are personally in. Since the Xenon ships are so fast, the will zoom through freindly sectors with little if any interaction with the sector owning race in OOS.

There is no way of getting Khaak capital ships moving into freindly sectors with the vanilla game. For that you will need mods and there are some good mods out there!

Right now i am using the 'rogeys mod' for X2. It is quite outstanding so far but i have not yet encountered any Khaak capital ships, but i'm sure i will eventually!

for the trade ships i use Argon Mercury fitted with 3x 25 MW shield & Alpha Phased Shockwave Generatoe for weapon defence I also have a Paranid Nemesis protroling sectors. I find the Phased Shockwave Generator the best weapon going they turn all Khaak ships into dust in one go. BEWARE if you have a friendly ship near you they get hert as well & will become your enemy to & they will not forgive nor forget you.

Not true. There are actually two such invasions early on, and once destroyed, tend to recur at long intervals. Reasons why some players may not see them are if they spawn in Xenon sectors and are wiped out quickly, spawn in empty unknown sectors that the player never visits, or spawn in well-defended race sectors and get destroyed quickly. But yes, they do recur.

Ah - That may well explain why but in my last x3 game I had 3 sectors with khaak cap ships et all. Scared the pants of me when I found the third sector ..... was not expecting that.

However as this is a x2 question - no - you have to go look for them in thier own sectors.

[xenon347]

The phased shock wave generators unlike any other weapon weakens the shields on other ships as well as damaging the ships at the same time but its only available in paranid sectors & you must have a ship that can take this type of weapon I will get the X3 soon because with the X2 you can only go so far then its just an endles battle going into Khaak sectors though i have to turn the volume down because when the Khaak M2 destroyers explode people where i live think there thunder about

Shockwave generators on trade ships??? That is pretty insane! Since they are at their best and *#*#WORST*#*# in sector. Out of sector they are nothing special.

I haven't completed the storyline (new game, not feeling at all confortable in that pants M4 you start in) but a Kha'ak invasion has happened in Blue Profit. Basically, all stations were destroyed by an army of 2 Cariers and one Destroyer, plus other smaller crafts. The sector has become a real black hole for trading ships. I've managed to navigate through it in my 100 mph speeded Mercury (with 1 MJ shield , but shields do not really matter in this case, if the first Kha'ak Kyon beam doesn't kill you, the next will).

I suspect these things reoccur, but only at large intervals. For good reason that, if these things were frequent, the whole Universe would be kaaked, appart from the Xenon sectors.

While these things are fun, I'd certainly not like such perturbations threatening my stations. I am still unable to buy M3 and M6 due to "poor" race relations (need one more ranking with each race) and it's certainly a long way for me before I can plan on buying a destroyer that would withstand such invasions.

As Nanook points out, they don't recur unless you destroy the initial ones. Also, you don't need a destroyer to take down Kha'ak capital ships--a Split Elephant TL can do the job, with care.

The Elephant BPPC vs Kha'ak Cap worked, however, if what you say is true, it means I'll have to prepare for another invasion soon enough . There is another invasion going on in Danna's Chance and I have absolutely no intention of removing it, especially with most attacks on my ships being caused by the pirates coming from those regions, reaching The Wall, were I have a nice set up station.

But at least now I have the means to destroy them, got to say, reaching the required rep with the Split was quite a pain. They don't seem to be sensible to trading.

And BTW, the family Rhy sector seems odd, I mean it only has one EQD, Trading Station and Shipyard, no other stations, from X2 experience I know those three respawn. And there are of course the Capital ship patrols (that also should respawn). I wonder, was this sector designed that way, or did it suffer from an odd invasion? With the Capital Split Ships respawning they were going to handle the invasion... eventually.

Anyway, this "emptyness" makes way for probably the best trade run you can find, because in that part of Split space there are absolutely no Rastar Fabs. Pick rastar from the "Chin's Escape" region, jump to Rhy's Desire (where there are Complex Fabs requiring Rastar) and sell.
You can sell up to 2000 (though you may be forced to use 2 ships) units of rastar oil. Profit is nearly 500 per unit adding to a total of one million, incredible.

after the omicrom Lyrae when the Khaak try to destroy the planet the last message i get from Ban danna is- Your father is in a coma & we do not know when he will recover I will contact you latter. Well iv not herd from him since & iv been playing the game for a long time & still not herd

I think you misunderstood. Once an invasion is defeated, another one will eventually spawn, but in most player's experience, it seems that it's a looonng time before that happens - many, many game days. So you shouldn't have too much to worry about.

Designed that way. Even GoD never seems to add new stations to that sector for some reason. Yeah, it's a good place to inhabit. Some good 'roids, strong sector defenses courtesy of the Split, and the ability to buy stations and ships, and outfit those ships, without leaving the sector.

Congratulations you have finished the plot in X2, you won't hear from him again until you start X3...

[Nyax]

Yep i'm afraid the story in X2 is one of those that doesn't end, it just stops.
