I played this mission somewhat recently, so I'm going totally from memory...

I didn't get any messages or anything either, and wasn't sure if that was intentional or it was a bug or what. Anyway, I just made some long range scouts and went looking. If I remember right, using 0,0 as the left corner sector, it's then "north" one and "east" 4, to give you the 1,3. I think.

As you said, there should be a moral resource east of that sector (or a sector very near there if I don't remember the coordinate system correctly). The point wasn't marked or anything, the mission just ended when I stopped a ship in the right sector I think.

Hope that helps.

Is there some way to see the grid coordinates? Because I still can't figure out how to get out of this map. I appreciate the advice so far, but either I'm dense or I've hit a bug.

Oh! So that's where they are!

I couldn't find them, so I won by deploying a bunch of scout ships and scouting around.

Ok. I have a follow up question. I took a ship and sent it all the way around and parked it on 1,3 and the game never ended. I moved it all around that area and verified the sector but it still didn't end. Anyone else have that happen? I was using the Crimson Blade ship..

How did you guys just send any ship to sector 1-3 without any development? Within the 1st 10 turns, there are already dread lord ships floating around with 350++ mass driver dmg, taking out my colony ship as I got nearer to sector 1-3!!

Sector 1-3 is in the area of the Korath, and it's where Korath and Dread Lord ships are floating area. I tried researching full life support and rushing my colony ship to sector 1-3 but before I could reach there, it got shot down by Dread Lord ships

I found it earier to give the Drengin a big speed racial ability, and as well as some points in sensors or range (I believed I used senors). You need to micromanage your ships and avoid any combat unless you have no choice.

I played that level by focusing on getting one ship to the sector. (The big ship with the custom name. I was under the impression that I needed to get THAT ship to the sector, not just any ship. It appears I am wrong about that, though.) I collonized worlds and build enough starbases so the sector was just in range. Then I made a beeline for the sector, being careful not to let my ship anywhere near the enemy. This is where the speed and sensor bonuses come into play. It allows you to see the enemy before they can see you, and run away before they can catch you.

I hope this helps.
