Magus666 Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 Just out of...um...curiosity...how common are Warp Nexii (systems with large numbers of WPs) and whats the largest number anyone has seen in one system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgwen Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 Not sure on rariety, but seen only 1 w/6 links. Has a combo of A-Es but nothing higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chargerman Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 I'm to new to have an idea of how rare they are but out of the first 4 systems i found 2 were nexii one without any WP's other then the one i cam in and one with 4 WP total.

Magus666 Posted March 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 OK....because I just ran into ELEVEN in one place, types A through K. Yes, K. THAT one is gonna be a major pain to crack. It better lead to the Ancient's Vault of Eternal Goodies. It also doesnt help that that one is sitting practically on top of the star's photosphere.....

As for the K, that might be one of the few sightings- I have only seen/heard up to a J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Uriel Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 In my neck of the woods, half of the systems I discover are nexii. Three to four WP's is the norm. Consider yourself lucky to have discovered something unusual. However, I don't believe the K will lead to a secret stash of Ultimate Spitwad of Destruction devices.

hobknob Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 Good luck with the K, you will need it. In fact it will likely take Mk IV JSS or better coupled with a Ranger and a Master Scientist and that may still not get it done. I have seen up to 11 or 12 WP's in a system with the usual dead ends. for my core positions fully 50%+ systems are nexus which made early exploration a real pain. I have run into J's but no K's thus far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magus666 Posted March 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 Come one, come all! See the rare and mysterious Type K Warp Point! Just deposit 50,000 tons of....no, wait. (Scatch-Scratch-Scratch) All ye faithful races of the universe! Relieve yourself of ALL your worldly wealth and resources and come pray before the doorway to GOD! Which god? Um....blasphemer! Um, did you deposit all the worldly goods of your planet first? Finally make all those religious type leaders earn their keep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have run into J's but no K's thus far <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I guess there has to be a purpose for Mk V and Mk VI JSS. A K class warp is it. We have found Warp Nexii about 45% of the time. Interestingly the most warps we ahve found is 5 in a system and the highest is a class G. I guess we live in the average section of the SNROTE universe.

WKE235 Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 I have several systems on my charts with 10 or more WP's in them. The key is, most of the WP's lead to a star or nexus, and then then dead end. So while there is a lot to explore .. maybe only two or three of the WP's will lead to stars with more than one WP themselves. My highest WP is an H. Never seen an I, J, or K. But cracking the K with scientists, explorers, and high end JSS is just the first step. Next, you need to send a ship through the K. Just imagine the fuel requirement. Plus to be safe you have to guess that the warp on the other side is going to be high level as well. So any ship you send through needs lots of fuel tanks, and JSS, and characters. Otherwise it may be a one way trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magus666 Posted March 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 Yes, it would have a fuel usage modifier of 100x...so even a Pathfinder would use every drop of fuel it can carry (12,000 ton ship, 1200 tons of fuel, correct? ). And of course its limited sensors would never get it back. But the brave crew does get a nice plaque in the hall of science. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hobknob Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 I know of several G's and an I that are two way with the same on the return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
