I am reporting a potential issue with Kha'ak spawning mechanics in the sector Artemis' Mist.
I have successfully located and destroyed the Kha'ak Hive and Installation in this sector. Additionally, I have stationed a fleet to heavily monitor and blockade the only jump gate leading into the sector to ensure no reinforcements can enter.
However, despite the destruction of the base and the gate blockade, Kha'ak ships continue to spawn directly near my mining operations almost instantly. There are no other visible Kha'ak structures left in the sector. Other players suggested that this might be a bug which spawns ships even when the regional hive is confirmed destroyed.
Steps to reproduce:
Enter Artemis' Mist.
Locate and destroy the Kha'ak Hive.
Deploy mining ships (L class and M class I have) to attract Kha'ak.
Blockade the jump gate.
Observe Kha'ak ships spawning in the middle of the sector/near miners despite no base being present.
Expected Result:
Kha'ak spawns should cease or significantly decrease once the local Hive is destroyed, especially when the gate is secured.
Actual Result:
Kha'ak ships continue to spawn indefinitely, making it impossible to "clear" the sector for safe mining.
Game Version and Specs:
Version: 8.0
Modified: No
Active DLCs: All (I dont remember the Names)

Re: Kha'ak ships spawning despite Hive destruction and Gate blockade in Artemis' Mist
Kha'ak locations and situation are unique to the game in progress and so the devs would need a link to a vanilla save to investigate properly and for your replication steps to actually work for them.
I believe that Kha'ak fighters do intentionally periodically spawn close to player miners if there is still a Kha'ak Hive within 3 sector jumps of your mining operation. It is not always the case but smaller Kha'ak Outposts can also spawn in that sector at seemingly random directions well away from the sector centre.
Gate blockades have no effect on Kha'ak spawning as they don't use gates.

Re: Kha'ak ships spawning despite Hive destruction and Gate blockade in Artemis' Mist
My investigations years ago showed there is likely a background spawn rate for Khaak, irrespective of there being a hive or outpost nearby. The rate is a lot more manageable than when there are those stations present and your miners are being attacked near constantly.
