i have seen these a few times in my game too, they dont seem to be doing anything but flying around. Does anyone know why they are here, i have heard rumors of them being linked to the Goners but who knows.

Does anyone else think these things look like the top half of an Apollo CM? Or is it just me?

What did the soviet space craft look like when they did their live animal practise flights?

Maybe the UFO is in fact their monkey, Abrek, on his quest to explore the universe?

Sadly, this was the last anyone had seen this particular ufo, as I blasted it's ass into dust.


Consequently, my goner rank dropped 2% as a result. I tend to see them everywhere tho, it's kinda cool. :)

If you want to explore the universe, just find one of those beauties and set to follow!

nice, if you have noticed the UFO on your Gravidar it looks like a hamburger,

Could the pilot be the Mcdonalds Hamburgler?

Even if you cheat one in and make yourself the owner, you still can't control it.

hehe nice.

Have you?


Have anyone tried to scan their freight?
I seem to come accross them quite often, but my Falcon is not nearly fast enough to intersect them.

I tried in X-T but as it (the freight load) appeared in the info screen (i don tknow how it appears in X2&X3), and info was all odd characters and "unknowns", couldnt see anything :-P

Oh, and i killed it in a Paranid Prometheus... details here... look at the speed. I kept jumping from gate to gate waiting for it... if it had had 25MW shields, i wouldnt have been able to kill it lol i had a pair of lucky hits. It didnt drop anything, just a little UFO which exploded (it looks like it was its "we-went-poof" animation).
