Xenon respawn rate

Does anyone know how long it takes for the Xenons to respawn their cap ships in their sectors? I have deliberately left the shipyard intact, but they aren't sending new cap ships to the sector that I cleared out. Also, will the destroyed xenon stations and spp's respawn?

Lastly, is there a way to 'force' the J's to launch their docked fighters? Either they aren't launching or are launching extremely slowly. My preference would be to blow them all up for a slighlty larger increase in combat rank (is still taking forever though) as I don't think destroying a cap ship with docked fighters will give you any extra points.

I`ve found that they send replacement ships out almost immediately but they have to fight their way through several sectors to get to their destinations.

I just shoot once at the J then fly away on SETA, it launches fighters one at a time so you have to wait a bit.

Thanks for the quick reply. I have assets in all the sectors between the shipyard and the xenon sector that I cleared out, but there has been no cap ships taking that route for a long while. Do you know if this is because I wasted the xenon station too? Maybe they no longer think it is 'their' sector?

Will the station respawn?

I am really hoping I didn't screw up that sector, as I *want* the xenons to keep respawning. If you kill cap ships in the sector WITH the shipyard, are they supposed to send out a new one immediately too?

I`ve never touched the sector with the shipyard mainly due to the fact that I get too much lag in that sector so cannot fight properly.

Which Xenon sector did you clear ?

The Xenon Stations I blew up respawned ok after a while but I`m not sure if the SPPs do.

I wiped out the sector near Nyana's Hideout. Don't remember the number. This was actually done on Thursday but I haven't seen any reinforcement move through yet.

How long did it take your xenon station to respawn?

(I don't seta very much perhaps it needs more time?)

[Sir Crashalot]

In my experience, that sector refills really quickly as there is little inbetween that and Xenon 472 to stop them.

I`ve even had the replacement Ks start to arrive before I`ve finished clearing the sector...

Did you destroy the shipyard at some point ?

[b-b-q]

No I never once touched that shipyard. I may have to go back to a save game before I attacked that sector and try it in a different way. I just took in an Osprey with BPSGs and went on a rampage I'll loose a couple days of progress but it will be worth it. I think I'll leave the station alone and maybe try to only take out one cap ship and look to see what happens. It must not like something that I have done but I have no clue what it was. Killing one thing at a time might tell me what the problem was.

Anyways thanks for the help. I'll have a courier send you a large crate of spaceweed.

Don't go back to previous save, i did exactly the same thing you did, including blowing up the xenon station and it just took a very long time fo that sector to refill. I tried to see what the problem was by visiting the xenon shipyard and i found that all the capital ships it had built were busy fighting a paranid odysseus. Just give them time and they will sort out whatever the problem is and they will come, be patient.
