UFO is uncapturable-screenshots -56k steer clear!

Post by ManiacDC » Wed, 17. Dec 03, 04:12

Well I was flying along... leaving an unknown sector... when I notice a goner Icon zipping towards my ship. I then realize it is a UFO and that it is flying towards... a guess what! an unknown sector... an unknown object and an unknown sector... hmm
Anyway i was in my paranid Nemesis and I had a Split Dragon following me but I realized that neither of them could go the 450 m/s of a UFO... then I remember i had my 490 m/s Disco with me... i quickly exchanged ships... and followed it... It only went into the unknown sector and turned around tho...
anyway... here are some pics... and proof that a ufo is uncapturable.
I was using a disco with 2 gamma ire's.

That looks like an Adamski UFO from the 60s famous Ufologist who studied UFOs and tried to get the Military to have full disclosure. Alas the Government still has us fully in the dark :evil:

Shoulda used a strafe drive to catch up with it on a better ship. I almost use it more than SETA on my slow Teladi M3 (my favorite). I hope you used salvage insurance to try again ;)

I guess I should stick around

apparently you did not get the point of my thread

you have a better chance of capturing with weaker weapons because as the hull gets lower, the pilot is more likely to bail. I did not save it after destroying the UFO. I took him down to as low as you can go without using Alpha IRE's. I was using Gamma IRE's. If he could have been captured, he would have been. Oh, and UFO's do not have shields in X2; unlike X-T

You can always make a thumbnail instead....

Thanks!

sorry.. I could not see the hull state on the last shot... But why would you say that it can't be captured? If you tried it 10 times and always failed I could understand that. Maybe I am just a little 'slow' :)
