What are your Favorite and least Favorite Sectors?

[Voodooknigh]

Personally, I like the Engi homeworlds and despise anything that has to do with Zoltans or Slugs. Also uncharted nebulas, but they're not as bad.

[Bartho]

Probably pirate sectors, since i can usually find the slaves i need there

and least favourite: nebula sectors

[GennySkunk]

I really like the rock sectors, if only for the music alone.

And slug homeworlds for least favorite. Slug ships are just a pain to fight...

[sierra_one_]

Favourite is probably anything Engi, while I hate rebel sectors because the rebel ships always seem to carry the most devastating payload towards the end of the game. Level four shields, missiles and drones? Yeah, ♥♥♥♥ that.

The differences between sectors is relatively minor overall, but I tend to prefer having access to as many stores as possible, so I prefer Civilian and Engi over other options, then Slug/Rock/Zoltan.

When in doubt, choose Rock sectors because of the music.

I prefer red sectors of any kind due to having more fight opportunities. They have less stores but are still guaranteed to have at least one, sometimes two. Nebulas are either great or terrible depending on your upgrades. With teleporter, you stand to gain a lot of crew from ships lost in the nebula. With long range scanners you get free scrap from the same lost ship event. With upgraded oxygen and medbay you won't suffer from them shutting down those systems. Slug homeworld has the event with the slug that asks how many moons the planet has, and if you get it right you get a free slug, one of the best and rarest crewmembers to have. They have many great blue options and can see enemy crew when your sensors are down, which can be very handy in certain situations.

Least favourite has to be any nebula sector.

[KaterChi]

Least: Nebula, don't know what i prefer.

Zoltan Sectors screw me over. Its not the pirate ships that hide there, its the 'Offical Zoltan Space Police Force' which get me everytime. I cant kill 4 Zoltans and kill a Zoltan ship with no weapons because the 4 Zoltan boarders destroyed them. Its like a damn circle of doom.

[Hellcat]

I really really dont like nebula sectors, otherwise I dont mind any others.

[moxyfruvuus]

Nebula sectors are a pain, especially when they cut down your available energy - nothing like trying to operate with one arm tied behind your back.

Any one who can the right answer to this question?
I got this just now.

[DarkTwinge]

It actually tells you the answer when you approach if you're paying attention and reading - but nobody ever is.

If there's a comma early on, the answer is 7. If not, the answer is 11.

Civillian sectors are nice to go to when you need a bit of help in the middle of the game. Seeing a Rock sector is always nice for me since they're so easy to battle with a decent boarding party(They usually only have 2 crewmembers from my experience and are slow as hell.).

The only sector I hate is the Zoltan sectors. This is only due to the fact that they love Beam weapons and I can't board or take out their weapons until I destroy the bonus shield. Very annoying if you're doing Mantis B or Crystal B runs. I generally avoid that sector at all times if I can.

Rock Sectors are the best, IMHO. The ships are relatively easy to kill and there are a lot of them. They don't run drones and they rarely have boarders. They pretty much always have missiles, but if you have the firepower to take their weapons down before they can shoot or better yet have a defense drone, it's a walk in the park.

Pirate and Rebel sectors are second best. The ships are tougher than in Rock territory, but you will get in a lot of fighting and come out with a ton of scrap.

If you don't have a security crew, Mantis sectors can be a nightmare. Although their ships are relatively weak, a Mantis boarding crew can only be really fought in the Med Bay unless you have Mantis or Rock crew members. That can be a pain. If you get the event that puts five Mantis boarders on your ship at once, say good night. However, if you have the crew to repel their boarders, this is the second best red sector, behind Rock sectors.

I like Nebulas if I go in with plenty of fuel. You can make a ton of scrap hitting all those extra sectors. If you go in without lots of fuel, you can run out before finding a store.

Slug Nebulas are probably the toughest sectors. Their ships are always well armed, have good shields and great evasion. They also tend to take down various systems in your ship. But again, there's a lot of fighting, so a lot of scrap can be made.

Zoltans sectors I avoid early, because of their shields, but late in the game I will hit them as Zoltan shields really lose their effectiveness once you get a good set of weapons. Also, they tend not to have too many fights, another reason to avoid them.

Engi and Civilian Sectors are usually easiest, but you don't get a whole lot out of them. I avoid them if there's a place I can get more fighting in. If I'm damaged and need to hit a store, I head here.

The Unknown Sector. You get a kickass ship there.
