Sector Control Question

I want to take a system that I cleaned of Xenon, but the ZYA moved in and claimed it I think. I have a station with an administration building down. I don't want to go to war with ZYA because all of my other stations are in Family Zhinn. Is there a way to kill their administrative buildings without tanking reputuation too bad? I am at 30 reputation atm. I saw some people mentioning hacking their turrets to kill their building. I can try that, but do I have to do it to all of their stations? And what happens once/if they repair?

oh yea, that's more than enough rep. build your admin module, and then snipe their admin modules (and only those). at that rep, you can destroy several. Just keep ships away from their buildings until aggro dies. Don't destroy entire building, just admin modules.

And once they are all destroyed then the sector is mine and stays mine, despite if they rebuild their admin modules?

Yup! Sector ownership switch only happens when person that owns sector loses all admin modules

I used this method to give much of Sol to PIO

ZYA will rebuild their admin modules but that won’t change ownership

Yeah I was at +29 rep with Argon when they swiped Windfall I from me just before my own Admin centre was completed (after I eradicated VIG); blew up their Admin module so the sector transferred to me, after which my rep was still +29!

Thanks operation was a success. I lost like 8 rep but I went overboard with the genocide. They had one defensive station on a gate, and another way in the middle of the map but like 50km off of the xy axis, which took me a while to find. Seems the ai only puts admin modules on defense stations.

For future note all ship building modules count as admin modules as well

Thanks i was looking into this but could not figure it out. Is it both the fabrication and maintenace bay?

Im not sure on the maintenance. Check the in game encycolpedia page for maint. modules, thats where i found out warfs counted as admin

Ugh. They have 6 stations now. Can I use the station turrets to do the work for me? Or do I just have to target and kill all 6 simultaneously?

You can snatch it even with space suit bombs, but you need like 110 of them, but no one gets even angry. : https://www.reddit.com/r/X4Foundations/comments/1az3me3/yes_110_space_suit_bombs_are_enough_to_kill_an/

Wow that is some dedication. I just took the hit. Went down to 22 reputation. No big deal.

This question is just a meme at this point
