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

Havent actually had the chance to as my focus has been elsewhere.

your hq is immune to death, you cant actually lose it

(which is lame IMO...)

Well atleast I wont lose it then lol..
Guess i just shouldnt build anything on it yet then.

Can and does happen. The new Xenon also seem really strategic, both at the battlefield level and the map level. I just waltzed into a Xenon sector feeling all big and bloated, destroyed 3 of their fleets and then turned to focus on a double K and I fleet. Lined up with the closest K and waited. Then the I and other K started to split off and got almost to my flank when I realized they had got fighters behind me focusing on my engine. I barely got all 3 down before my engine went out and had to sit out the rest of the fight while the turrets cleared the field and engineers repaired. Just barely got it repaired and travel mode engaged as the next group of fighters started getting into range.

It used to be scary seeing an I show up early in the game. I can't imagine its any less helpless today, especially when its the HQ and you can't do anything to save it.

You might try getting the I to chase you.

How did the HQ start in heretics end did you teleport the HQ there? I though the HQ starts in grand exchange?

Thats the new start now, because Boso Ta is now part of the Expedition to open the gate at the start of all games now you automatically get the HQ, and it now starts in Heritics End. Well I'm not sure about all of them. But a lot of em.

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.

Xenon I's can travel extraordinary distances if luck favours them. Sometimes they'll get "stuck" chasing a slow ship in the middle of nowhere giving it time to repair itself into battle ready condition after a fight.

Othertimes it'll be too close to a station when it detonates, destroying all its turrets :P

Since people seem confused where the Xenon I came from. There is a Xenon sector, Emperor's Pride, which typically barrels over the under supplied Paranid and march into Wretch Skies. There is also the common Hatikvah gate that Xenon come through which is in the same sector as the gate that leads to Morning Star/Heretic's End.

[Nanian]

So the Xenon I went and got my station down to 0%... didn't kill it, but it moved on afterwards, my station then self repaired and now back to where I was before. Staying out of sector meant that I didn't actually lose any modules.

[Asmosis]

I've never paid enough attention to know if a fully 100% destroyed station module needs to be fully rebuilt (resources) or only needs drones to repair it.

I have lost stations before due to missing the warnings (it's not possible to lose HQ). Glad to see you were able to recover, it's unexpected turns of events that make this game interesting :)

I occasionally see I's make it through those same locations. It's kind of amazing to me that my original save from release has basically the same Xenon progression as you are describing. The PAR in my game still have Wretched Skies X and Litany of Fury XII but Xenon have otherwise steamrolled East and then South to Hatikvah Choice I gate and North to Rhy's Defiance where they have been battling both ZYA and TEL. When I's break through I see them usually in Hatikvah or leaving that sector either direction if they survive. Not sure I've ever seen them in Morningstar but I have seen them go into Heretics End from Wretched Skies before, probably chasing something.

Yeah im not sure about either about the whole drone repair or needing resources, in my case, because I was out of sector, just meant that the modules wouldnt get destroyed as that isn't possible while OOS.
