UFO's

Post by j1akey » Thu, 16. Nov 06, 23:00

I've seen several posts about people asking if anyone has seen a UFO but are they there for anything other than to say "oh look a UFO".

I actually did see a UFO a few days ago but nothing really happened, it flew by pretty fast, went though the gate and that was it. Not sure what all the hype is about with these things.

Not that I know of, but in the X-universe these things can change with the patches. :)

People did that in X2 and it went all over but did not land anywhere. It did show up all of the sectors after a while, though. Probably the same in X3, but I don't know. :)

Contrary to what TastelessMeatSubstitute :P above says, I think the UFO's lend a much-needed aura of mystery to the X-Universe. Everything else gets pretty much figured out in a rather short time. But the mystery of the UFO's just keeps going. They've been around since X-Tension, when they fueled speculation about a secret UFO base hidden behind a certain planet, in a certain sector, which lies next to another certain sector. :wink: Now, it's been conclusively (really :?: ) demonstrated that no such thing exists, but who knows what else lies out there? :wink: Personally, I think the UFO enriches the X-Universe, and it'd be much poorer without it.

Now where did I put my tinfoil hat? :? :lol:
Have a great idea for the current or a future game? You can post it in the [L3+] Ideas forum.

X4 is a journey, not a destination. Have fun on your travels.
