Xenon Invasion - not the missions

[Pugz]

I had just finished clearing out Xenon Sector 347 when I decided to fly to 472. When I entered Omnicron Lyrae I suddenly noticed 4 Xenon Ks attacking everything in range. There was an argon collussus attempting to do damage but not doing well at all.

It was to dangerous to use my PSGs in friendly space and with argon ships flying around shoothing them so I went to treasure chest and there was another 4 K's in that sector. Only in black hole sun were there none.

This isn't the result of a XI missino becasue I have only had one and that was at vice admiral and I finished it.

This just a natural occurence or has something strange happened? I can get screenshots.

The shipyard in 472 will put out ships to replace those that you cleared. They will then fly from the shipyard back to 347 and attack anything in their path.

Killing the shipyard stops them from respawning but only for 15 hours then the shipyard respawns and they all come out at once

[Pugz]

will they give up on killing the stuff in those sectors though?

[NeckCuttah]

Nope. They are making a beeline back to their home sectors so whatever gets in their path (i.e. ships in the trading lanes) get's eaten for breakfast. I haven't really noticed them deviating from this path and venturing out to destroy the stations in those sectors that they are passing through, just the ships that come close to them as they pass by.

Good luck!

[Pugz]

Thats good and bad but looking on the bright side I get opertunity to build what is destroyed there

If you avoid the sectors the K's are flying through until they're gone, they'll only attack the Argon military ships, and only in self-defense. But if you're in sector, they'll attack everything within range of their GPPC's. Just another difference between IS and OOS.
