argh... I need to kill some teladi!

[Loneshade]

Stupid Teladi built (or actually just started to build) a factory in Scale Plate Green.... and now all my traders and miners get blown up, because that Factory is luring them with the best prices.....yay!
If those xenon don't blow up that station soon, I'll have to do it myself!

Sector blacklists are supposed to come with 2.50. Until then, I guess our fate is pretty much heavy military presence along trade routes, with the occasional suicide chases.

[Loneshade]

Yeah... heavy military presence << within >> the xenon sector that they want to trade with :/
Hadn't actually planned on taking it over....even less to let the teladi do so, but seems they are winning this one (while loosing their own homeworld lol)

Edit: lol - why is there a xenon-K docked to Hatikvah's Faith's trading station?!?

[SPiDER]

Spaceweed...Xenon K wants Spaceweed

They are not factories, it is a naming bug. They are actually "Defence Platforms". They are intended to hold back the Xenon from pushing into Company Regard and Ianamus Zura. They just do not do a very good job of it due to how insane and OP I and K are.

Sector black listing will solve this. It will also solve ones stupid traders flying to pirate stations and being pirated as a result.

My Teladi actually tried building a hull part factory there lol. Lucky by now the xenon took care of it.
They already own 7 completed (!) defense stations in that sector though....

Maybe your save has progressed further than mine. They only have 4 half built (since they are raised by Xenon) in Scale Plate Green. Matrix is doing better with 5 fully functional defence platforms (named factory...) but that side has no Xenon XL threat, only a constant stream of S/M.

I will demolish the defence platforms in Matrix so the sector becomes TEL and see what TEL does.

Hop have a claytronics factory in Faulty logic ..along with 20 defence platforns...

the Xenon took out a couple of my Destoyers in Ianamuus so I took exception and took out their Defense stations in Matrix 451...it turned green ..then the lizards built 2 more defense stations in Matrix 9...that war is ongoing ..it looks like the Xenon have ceded Matrix 451 But my station traders like taking risks supplying building material's to keep rebuilding them in '9 ..at least with my own yards it dosent worry me that much that an ocasional Magpie gets taken out by an I ..they do do a remarkbly good job of escaping whilst still making Profits!!!

And meant to add....I dont whether its the Lizards or the Xenon but someone is constantly trying to attack the Indestructable Khaak Instalation in '451 too you can see it "dancing" on the map

waste of time and resources that it is

[Nafensoriel]

Sector blacklists will probably fix this... but I now hate you because I have been sitting here pondering for the last hour about "what ifs" regarding GAI and what a GAI might consider a drug.

From what I can tell it is impossible to attack it. I literally parked a doom fleet (16 L destroyer and a carrier) on top of it set to defend position for several hours and they never attacked it. They killed thousands of Kahak, but never once hit that thing. Turrets set to attack all enemies.

Maybe an NPC AI bug that lets them attack it? Player ships do not from what I can tell.

[SPiDER]

Khaak Instalations the xenon 'roids in Tharkas and that weird station in the second tharka's sector are full stop Indestructable..you as player or NPC faction can not destroy them.
