UFO's?

After many long tries, i finally captured that elusive mamba raider in LooMankStrat's Legacy

I headed back to Ceo's Doubt and transferred myself into it. I then SETA'd back to LooMank's to get some revenge on those dirty pirates and their SQUASH mines. As I entered, i spotted a small spinning disc shaped object flying at 300k/s towards the south gate. Pressing info on it came up with a jumble of weird words.

Something like this:

Unknown....
@3$#...&^..
....kn
Object...>@*...
.......

(It's not exact but you get the point)

It was too fast for me so i couldnt try to put it in my cargo bay so I shot a missle at it, hoping for an "Unknown Object" missle when it was destroyed. It blew up and that was that. Nothing more.

Anyone else encountered these UFO's? And what to do with them? Do they serve any real purpose?

...or have i just been smoking too much space weed

Cause there's nothing more to know about UFO. They are only randomly moving from a sector to another. Nothing more, nothing less

Well if I ever meet this UFO pilot I want to have a word with him... I have something that belongs to him.

really? I have alway killed them. never seen my rank go down. I see them, and most of the time no way to catch them, so I track and jump to their heading gate and bye, bye. In my entire X life never seen my stats move killing them, never really check thought. X2 you had goner rank increase with specific missions but, I what, 5 X3 games goner stats never moved.

And how do you become a goner better person in x3? Really, I have know Idea, guess I should try not to kill them???

Buy Jump drives from the goners and transporter and it will increase your rank with them. I bought some items and now I am at 1% . I don't know how fast or how long it will take but that is the only way I know how to do it

i heard on here somewhere that the fastest way to map the universe is to get a fast enough ship, give it a triplex scanner, and set it to follow a UFO, whilst you're getting on with the game, the universe is being mapped out for you!!!

Right, until the UFO cross a Xenon sector

They don't belong to the UFOs, they're the Terran Hammerhead Missile! They kick ass if you have a ship that can mount them. Don't sell them!
