1: in empirer mines near the north gate i see a ship called Mercury. Nothing more, nothing less. I thought it would be a claimable ship, so i tried to claim it: not possible. i noticed there is a pilot in, but comming is not possible. looking at the stats its in space for ~370 hours, and not moving at all. I tried shooting it, and after a while it turns red and starts dropping boxes of 10 energy cells when i damage the hull. pretty soon after the pilot jumped out without giving any comm (he also didnt commed when i attacked him), and i hear: "you have lost recognition". It seems it was a paranid ship. The pilot name wasnt piranid at all... Is this a weird flaw in my game, or is that ship supposed to be there? and is it claimable without losing my recognition?
2: I have seen the UFO a couple of times now, but i just read this morning that its a good idea to follow the bloody thing so i equiped a disco with a triplex scanner, mineral scanner and full engine tuning. But now im looking for the bloody thing, i cant find it anymore! I read that you can also follow conventional goner ships, but i cant find any of those either. Is there a spot maybe that holds more chance to find a goner ship or that goner UFO?
3: My universe is getting empty again. Last time that happened i found all the AI ships circling around one station, but now i cant seem to find that station. Is there some way to find that station? I tried looking at the destination of the trader ships i still see, but I cant find that option anywhere. I thought that option was available in X2, but I can have mistaken that with freelancer. Maybe someone can point me to a script to find the location of AI ships? or another usefull trick
thank you all
