Haven't seen this posted anywhere but I was curious if they were or not - I'd always assumed they were random but I was thinking recently and now I'm not sure.

Thanks.

Yes, random. :)

Do they always get larger or do they slip in a smaller one from time to time?

Nop, depending on your rank the missions only get larger.
First 2x2, 3x3, 4x4... I think 6x6 is the largest it gets.

Yeah MuffinMan, from time to time I'll luck out and actually get a 2x2, 3x3 or 4x4 ... VERY infrequently, mind you ... I almost always get 6x6s and 5x5s but yeah ... the size is random too and it's a real treat when you finally get a small one. Well, insofar as much a cleaning mission can be considered a 'treat'. :P

I've gotten two of the 5x5's in a row and I'm only dreading what it's going to be like when it's all 6x6's. Darn you ESCorp!!! It brings some relief knowing I can get a small one from time to time though.

When I was on, like around 30 cu-missions done I got first 5×5. And since then I have had only one 4×4 and 2×2 cu sectors. Huh. But the good thing is that they sometimes appear close to the [0][0] where are every1's the most explored areas.
So you could probably need to accomplish 1-10 levels, as I need to do on my 1st 5×5. Just one level and misison is done, pff... good old times.

Anyways, 16 more cu's till escaping through belt. Aww.. sweet. :timide:

I've now done 23 total and I've had 3 or 4 5x5 squares to clean up so far :(

I just now got a 2x2 but it's farther from the origin hehe.

if it's TOTALLY random then i assume they could overlap with ones youve done previously, making things easier?

Is there any general trend, like i know they increase in size but do they seem to get more spread out/further from the origin later on?

As at the start they're all near 0,0 but if that remained the case there'd be a LOT of overlap by the end.

Yup.

1: random spot, can overlap, etc.
2: random size, limited according to your rank
3: gets farther away from the origin point as you do them :D
