General Information

Resources

Sun Strength: 10/9 multiplier (150%)

Silicon Productivity: 3x (254/h)(26 and 6 yields)

Ore Productivity: 4x (1,205/h)(21 and 18 yields)

NPC Activity

Frequent Argon, Boron and Paranid traders pass through the sector

Patrolling Argon and Paranid military ships pass through the sector

Commentary

A good sector for an early complex due to the proximity to several equipment docks and safety provided by the argon military however care must be taken never to fall into negative Race Rank values with the Argon because conflicts with the rapid response fleet will quickly become self reinforcing. It is advisable to place the complex in the middle of the sector for easy access to the trade lanes and jump gates. This sector cannot singlehandedly support a PHQ.

NPC Activity

Yaki fighter squads (1-3 M3/M4 ships) frequently patrol the sector

The Paranid Military Outpost in Empire's Edge will periodically send military patrols through the sector on the way to Senator's Badlands

Commentary

One of the most resource rich sectors in the game and not owned by a major race making this sector an ideal base of operations. There is enough Silicon productivity for a self sustaining complex that can support the PHQ and 198 factories for missile support/ship equipping/stock market manipulation which is enough to instantly supply most ships able to be produced by the PHQ. There is an excess of Ore asteroids so not all are used. The density of the asteroid field is so high that some asteroids need to be destroyed using missiles or a Mobile Drilling System so some mines can be moved out of the asteroid field before returning later to place mines on the asteroids when they respawn. If the player uses an M7M for combat this is one of the six sectors that will need to be used for dedicated missile production. By there being no sector owner the complex and PHQ is safe from RR ships if the player is hostile to a major race while the Yaki patrols are small enough to easily be fought off. It is advisable to place the complex hub in the south west of the sector at least 50km from the South Gate to avoid the infrequent Paranid military patrols. This sector can singlehandedly support a PHQ.

Ore Productivity: 10.5x (3283/h)(30, 25, 17, 13, 8, 2x5 and 1 yields)

NPC Activity

None unless a pirate base spawns or the player builds factories/complexes that sell to NPC traders.

Commentary

A convenient sector for a complex since it is close to Hatikvah's Faith making it a useful refuelling stop for jumping due to the relative central position in the universe before ownership of the HUB is obtained and for equipping ships brought at the nearby OTAS Shipyard in Legends Home (the neighbouring sector). If hostile to the Argon it also makes a quiet base of operations for launching assaults into argon space from. The slight excess of Ore yield compared to Silicon means not all Ore asteroids are utilised. Due to the medium size of complex able to be sustained it typically makes a good second self sustaining complex. This is a good sector for having 10x Lasertower Factories for keeping other player owned stations/complexes secured. This sector cannot singlehandedly support a PHQ.
