2 stupid questions...
I'm in malestrom looking for the unkown sector gate but I've had no such luck finding anything since the sector is so big and I only got a duplex scanner...can someone help me locate the gate? Also, can somewhere tell me where I can get a triplex scanner(the paranid hate me and the boron aren't shooting me on sight, but they don't like me)...I'm X3 ofcourse.

Question 1- is about 180 KM due West from the center of the sector.Bugzor wrote:I'm in malestrom looking for the unkown sector gate but I've had no such luck finding anything since the sector is so big and I only got a duplex scanner...can someone help me locate the gate?

Question 2- You're pretty much stuffed. Unless you make up with one race or the other the only way you're going to get one is by buying or capturing a ship with one ready installed, such as the Discovery raider.

isn't there another unkown sector after to the one next to maelstrom? if there is..I can't find it... I've never had trouble navigating until today.. Oh and I got the triplex scanner.. Does every race have a sorta "hidden" station like that argon one?> I seen a paranid one like that in the older game I had (before it messed up). I say hidden because I don't think it appeard on radar or sector map

If you fly to 0,0,0 in that first US, then fly roughly south west. Its a south gate, but its not in the south position.

Ok there is a slightly cheesey way to find all the gates you would ever want if you have a Jumpdrive and navigation software. It will completely make Exploring for those far-flung gate much more easier. while the big down side is you won't have the satisfation of finding it yourself.
Useful if your getting to the point where viens are bulging on your head looking for some remote gate. But no fun for the explorer.

Goto your console and do the "jump and move to position..." then select the same sector your in then move the cursor way far to the side of the sector the unknown gate is in. When you jump you will pop out of the before mentioned gate that you where looking for, even though your don't know where it is.
No. Howeer the Boron, Paranid and Argon all have a unique one off station (which is actually just a regular station with a different name and different goods for sale). They are-Does every race have a sorta "hidden" station like that argon one?> I seen a paranid one like that in the older game I had (before it messed up).

The Federal Argon installation (which you know about)
The Paranid communications facility (which you are also apparantly aware of)
The Boron research station.
Plus of course there's Terracorp HQ, which should give you some idea of what to expect when you dock at each of them.
