X3 and Spaceflies

Post by Da_Imp » Mon, 14. Nov 05, 12:10

Basically, I read that some people doubt spaceflies made it in the game. To get rid of this rumour once and for all, the following announcement:

There are spaceflies in the game. They're just easy to miss and probably a bit rare.

Because some of you are hard to convince, Ive supplied a screenshot for your viewing pleasure. Please note, it's a rather bad shot, because they're really hard to capture. I think they're a tad shy.

Think you could blow up that shot a tad? It is very hard to see in a pic that small.

Not sure if this helps. As I mentioned it was pretty hard getting them in a screenshot as they're pretty fast and seem to avoid getting squished this time around. Anyway this is the best I could do sorry for the poor quality ;)

Do they still make that annoying high pitched buzzing sound in X3?

No they make a different annoying sound now ;) Not sure how to describe it though.

Oh by the way, the encounter was in Cloudbase Southwest.

That teaches me for not checking the screenshots daily ;)
