Quick help on the "Death of the Korx" mission (sector 1,3)

I was just wondering if any of you played thru this mission and know what I should be doing here...
It seems that I can just build starbases to extend my reach and get any ship to that position, but the instructions are as vague as in most of other missions :/ I just don't feel like preparing for a full-out war and finding out that my efforts were useless.

nvm... got help on IRC. Sector number is right on top of the screen when you scroll around.

It's been forever since I've played that, but if I'm not mistaken you just have to get a ship to that spot. In the middle VERY top of the screen you can see the sector reading, and that's one of the most important facts for this mission. I didn't know how to find the sector and so just flew around until I got lucky!

Anyway, yes, just constructors and getting ships out to that sector -- that's the real key. Don't worry too much about development because it's almost entirely irrelevant.

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!!

I might have overstated my lack of development. It's not that I didn't do anything. I especially worked to colonize planets that would get me nearer to 1-3 and make standing starbases, the easiest or targets, less essential. Of course I built factories and starports on planets to get colony ships and constructors out and about, as well. I don't think I built up any military, though. Or if I did, I didn't need to.
