U.F.O? got picture (possible spoilers)

Found this in the new goner sector. I have seen pics from U.F.Os before but what the heck is this? It just shows different commercial movies and is indestructable. I have shot it with unknown object missile and it did no damage. I can't do any damage to it and if i crash my ship on it it does no damage to my ship or to the object. It doesn't move and i can identify or do anything to it. I can only follow it and see its name "unknown object". It's useless to follow it becos it doesn't move. Has anyone seen this before or knows what it is? :?

Be fun to actually mod that and put something on the skin. :)

it would be cool to place one in front of my hq. One of the weard things is that the products that it shows look like they are from another world. one looks like nividium container and some are weard bubbles in a slug or something. another mystery between the goner and U.F.Os.

I'm pretty sure it's the same as the regular UFO, in that it has no cockpit, thus unflyable. :)

i'm pretty sure you'll ba able to mod it somehow, lol. As far as i know, the file it uses is in "00002.dat" which you can find in the 'mov' folder where you installed x3 (just fast forward it a bit, doesnt start right away). i found it the other week and wondered what on earth it was....seems that this new patch has the answers to everything. all we need to do now is discover the xenon's secret plans...to work out the meaning of life :lol:

Not having looked at the actual file for it, I can only assume it's the same set up as the original UFO. It's a skin/shell only. There's no cockpit scene, and no way to fly it. The same is true with the "Sargon" plot ship.

You *could* kill them tho. :)
