Xenon I Destroying my HQ

[Nanian]

Its been less than 24 hour in my current playthrough and the already got an I on my HQ in heretics end.. sucks D:...

Any suggestions on what to do with it ?..
Any way to lure it away ?

I usually find if you engage it and stay close, you can eventually get it to switch its primary target to the ship you're flying instead of the station (saved my hull part station doing this). I think you need to present a bigger threat to it than the station, so might need to disable station turrets.

Then you just lead it towards another factions station being careful not to out distance it and the local navy will eventually take a look.

Ouch, you are first person told me that HQ destroyed, I do not know anyone had HQ destroyed. I think you had to reload where HQ is not destroyed, then teleport HQ in core system where it's safe. Avoid danger zone for HQ unless you build massive heavy firepower on HQ but that is long time and lot of money to make it happen, in early game most people do not had chance to do that.

Pretty sure it's not possible to destroy the asteroid in the middle. Neat as that thing is i'd certainly like an option to remove it (outside of custom game starts/mods).

I think basic HQ should be plot armors, but anything add to HQ are not plot armor at least, I think. But yes, nice option to remove or hide center asteroid, but what I understand asteroid gave power to do teleport, more or less, I think. I do wish there is unlimited resource of mine on that asteroid without need fleet mining to feed station, thought.

Oh its not been destroyed - its just circling and attacking.. def proving to be an issue though especially as I’ve litterally got nothing to kill it with

Pretty sure that my station has gotten no turrets atm, it doesnt get those from the start does it ?

[Asmosis]

By default no, you'd need to buy turret blueprints etc first and change the default module loadout (i can't remember if empty is the default or "medium").

You could also try (if you have +10 PAR rep) getting a small ship with burst ray weapons, and just blowing up all the turrets that are shooting at the station. They should be pre-occupied enough to not change target to you before you destroy them. Just be careful to avoid all the other turrets, as they'll oneshot a small ship usually.

The only rep I got up atm is boron /:
Only thing ive been doing so far lol..

I do have a boron corvette, but it dont really seem like its able to penetrate its shields at all.

But if its unable to actually destroy the station maybe I should just focus on getting enoigh credits to get a cap ship to lure it away with or something

[Asmosis]

I'd say focus on the turrets. They have individual shields so you dont need to bring down the main ship shields.

If you manage to remove all the turrets it'll probably retreat.

[Gurith]

Very odd as there is no xenon sector nearby.
I would just reload an old save, hoping the I would go for a different target this time.
as this system does not belong to anyone, ally security should not come. maybe you can try aggro it then to pull it toward one of the pirate stations :p
if you have got enought reputation with PAR, you can try to get a good fighter equiped with 4/5 burst ray to destroy all shields and hope the pirate station will be able to take it down (take it down youself without a destroyer or swarm of torpedo fighters will be very long)

there is a blind spot on its back so you can position a S/M ship and shoot without issue but I doubt you can take it down with the shields not destroyed

[Beltane]

Either i am missing something or i my mind just has not enough phantasy for it... how made an I it to this sector? Or anything bigger like your usual raiding party? I mean... the nearest Xen Sector would be Emperors Pride? And thats a few sectors away with Split and Paranid inbetween.

Never heard of an HQ getting attacked by Xenon so fast. Either you're using a mod or you typed in a deadly SEED in custom mode.

Well if that really is a random default start, that's actually kinda cool. I tend to do a lot of restarts hoping for something interesting to happen.

Have you researched the Teleport option. If so teleport your HQ out of there.
