Best sectors for action?

[Veter]

What best sector (sectors) for action based gameplay where player will be focused on that territore because of constant attacks? When player more defend its stations and try more survive than trying to save xenons from total destructions just because they cannon even conquer sector without help?

[RandomDude]

For me it's usually Split Sectors with Xenon neighbours

[Xautos]

Top of the list would be:
Tharka's Cascade, Family Zhin and Hatikvah's Choice. These three are connected to each other, they are always full of chaos and destruction. If it isn't the Xenon, it's the Vigor Syndicate. If it isn't the Syndicate, it's Zyath vs. Argon.

Second to this would be:
- The Void. If Frontier Edge is left alone the Xenon can cause a lot of chaos in The Void.
- Second Contact: Flashpoint, usually HOP and ANT are fighting each other with fleets or one invades the other and tries to destroy everything. Occasionally Xenon K's and I's end up out there.
- Pontifex's claim and Pious Mists, since both Paranid factions hate each other.

Lower on the list but still active:
- Fires of Defeat/Victory. Xenon always come out through Matrix #9, often in large numbers.
- Holy Vision. Xen vs. HOP. HOP is generally more aggressive than the Xenon and it's likely they can push through into Faulty Logic and take the sector when given enough of a chance.
- Getsu Fune. Given the chance the Xenon constantly invade through to this sector from Savage Spur.
- Company Regard. Xen vs. TEL. Scale Plate Green is Xenon controlled and they often send attacks through to the Teladi.
- Ianamus Zura. Xen vs. TEL. The Xenon usually send attacks out from Matrix #451, but because it's also connected to Matrix #9 and Family Tkr, the attack ability is not as strong as it should be.

I'm currently playing the ZYA start for the first time, and it's actually quite tough. For some RP, i use only split equipment and stick to ZYA sectors. At war with ARG, which limits trade a lot and the occasional behemoth. Constant XEN pressure at two gates. And I haven't even started any funny business with FRF.

Looks like Split start will be fun, even in term of RP, but i guess they as always struggle with trade and transportation they own goods, and that give possibility to have almost infinite income on that part.
And as playr not helping argon and others, they struggle with some resources and with xenon attacks in other regions?

They are attacked from three directions primarily:

Matrix #598 to Zyarth's Dominion - Xenon
Tharka's Cascasde to Family Zhin - Xenon
Matrix #9 to Fires of Defeat/Victory - Xenon

They are also attacked from four other locations, but a lot more infrequently and not in a traditional way in some instances:
Eleventh Hour to Zyarth's Dominion - Argon Federation
Rhy's Defiance to Family Kritt - Xenon
Heretic's End to Wretched Skies - Boron Queendom
Matrix #451 to Family Tkr - Xenon

I just started modded game, with fleet jobs mods and xenon jobs, at this 8 hours all battles are going pretty well from all, but Splits going to clean up north xenon sectors, as they still have predator and its full stack of fighters and M ships

Hat Choice always gives me a constant flow of Xenon to fight. I'm actually getting tired of this sector, because it's not a pretty backdrop. But my major trade routes go through this sector, and I grew tired of losing traders to Xenon, so I built a defense platform at the Xenon gate and now I've got dead Ks (and everything else) floating all over the place.

I'm looking forward to my new Terran save, where I'll focus on defending Sol. In this play through, Xen have taken Getsu Fune, but they're both my enemy, so I'll let them fight among themselves.

^ just to add to that last post, I've also had to deploy a small contingent of destroyers and frigates to this station, because the crazy range of capital ships materializing after crossing the gate results in Xenon destroyers "dropping out of hyperspace" right on top of my station, well within firing range of their graviton guns, negating any range advantage my own weapons have. This means I have to punch hard and fast, and even then my station takes damage, so it's not an AFK / OOS "Xenon farm" like a typical defense station - it requires attention and work to keep safe!
